PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, NOVEM Key to Guide House Presented ; By Col. and Mrs. R.S. McLaughlin In receiving the key of the Guide House from the donor, Col. R. 8. McLaughlin, before a representative gathering of all the local organiza- - tions, the clergy, and many of Osh- awa"s most public-spirited citizens on Saturday afternoon, Miss Vera Moyse, District Commissioner for the central area, voiced the ac- cumulated thanks of all the Guid- ers, Guides and Brownies when she said, simply and sincerely, "I thank you with all my heart." "We have struggled along with inadequate accommodation and now have beén presented with this beautiful house," she continued. "In opening this Guide House the key will unlock an opportunity for bet- ter and finer citizenship among the girls of Oshawa. Through your generosity, Mr, and Mrs. McLaugh- lin, all this has been made possible." In his own inimitable and unaf- fected way Mr, McLaughlin handed the key to Miss Moyse saying, "Vera, you're a good child of a good par- ent. Your father was an old chum of mine, and with my wife's com- pliments and mine I hang over this building, all complete, With every good wish for your success." Congratulates Committee Mr. McLaughlin congratulated the Guides Association on its won- derful committee who had worked unstintingly and paid a public tri- bute to Mr. Howard Smith of Tor- onto, the architect, and to Messrs. Bathe and McLellan, the builders and contractors. He passed on the good wishes of his daughter, Mrs. E. McEachern, a former local com- missioner. Mrs. R. E. McMullen, president of the executive council, who presided, called on Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, a co-benefactor, who was present in uniform. "This is one of the happiest days of our lives," Mrs. McLaughlin said. "My husband and I have always taken-a deep interest in the young people of Oshawa, and having found a home for the Boy Scouts we were only too ready to help when the plight of the Girls Guides was brought to our attention." . Mrs. McLaughlin referred to a photograph she has of the first Guide company, taken about 38 years ago, an indication of her in- terest in Guiding as a movement for girls from its inception. "The two wars we have had have brought forth a great effort, and a great spiritual uplift," she said. "The Girl Guides whose first duty is to God, can work and pray for a furtherance of Christian ideals. In an organization such as this, girls build up their physical and mental health, Hand in hand with mental health goes a spiritual life. Recite Guide Law { "It gives me great happiness, she concluded, to be able to provide ac- commodation that will lend itself to the furtherance of such work". At this point she asked the Guiders to stand and repeat with her the ten ts of the Guide Law. Gordon D. Conant, who brought greetings from the Prov- incial Council to the Guides and cititens of Oshawa presented Mrs. with the Guide Medal of Merit and a letter signed by the Dominion Commissioner, Mrs. D. E. 8. Wishart, and the former Domi- | nion Commissioner Mrs. John Cor- bett. Also she presented Col. Mc- Laughlin with a golden Thanks Badge. Usually of silver this is a special badge presented to those outside the movement who have per- formed some outstanding service. "In honor of your golden anni- versary year, we are happy to award you this special badge and when you wear it every Guide will know that you have done something won- derful for Guiding," she said, as she pihned it on the beaming recipient. Pointers From the Chief Mrs. D. E. 8. Wishart, Dominion Commissioner, addressed the Guid- ers who lately attended the World Conference at Cooper- town, N.Y. addressed the Guid- ers on their responsibilities, point- had to make Guiding a valued service to the community, She ad- mired the trefoil emblem set into the floor at the entrance. "On en- tering Guide House, every girl will be reminded of her three-fold pro- mise," she. said. Mr, Harry Riggs brought greet- ings from the Local Boy Scout As- sociation, and said he hoped that this fine meeting place would en- courage others to give of their time toward the continued growth and development of this world-wide or- ganization, which is always in need of new leaders. "The success of Scouting and Guiding depends on its leaders," he said, "and such a building should be an inspiration to all leaders." . On behalf of the Mayor, Mr. Frank McCallum, who was unable to be present, Alderman Russell Humphreys thanked Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin for their generosity to the citizens of Oshawa. "Before this representative assembly, I wish to thank you publicly for your unfail- ing kindness," he said. * Reviews Local Growth Mrs. O. 8. Hobbs, among the first to get the Guide movement going in Oshawa gave an interesting sy- nopsis of its development. She paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Gordon Ratcliffe, now living in Sudbury, whose splendid leadership and « training had been the rock on which the present structure had its found- ation. She started the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies and trained First Class and Gold Cord Guides." Osh- awa now has one Sea Ranger Crew, twelve companies and twelve Brow- nie Packs, Mrs. Hobbs said. She introduced the three district commissioners, each of whom spoke briefly. The first, in charge of the north district, was Mrs. Donald Fox, the second, Miss Very Moyse, the central and senior district commis- sioner, and the third Mrs, J. F. N. Ender in charge of the south dis- ct. The Guides had been in the habit of meeting in church halls, schools and basements with no central headquarters until through Mrs, Mc- Laughlin they were able to have the use of the space over S. S. Kresge's Store. After being home- less for so long this seemed like heaven, Mrs. Hobbs said, but un- fortunately it lasted only a few years and we had to move again. "Nobody is more thankful than I for this beautiful permanent home," she concluded. Mrs. R. E. McMullen who intro- duced all the speakers, recounted the events leading to securing the site for the Girl Guide headquar- ters. Largely instrumental in this search had been Mrs. George Fin- lay, and Miss Very Moyse. She accompanied them when they pre- sented the results of their search- ing to Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin who had offered their help. No Half Measures "We were nervous," she admitted, "because we felt we were asking so much, but they were so kind and understanding that we were heart- ened at once. Mr. McLaughlin, sug- gested changing the old style win- dows to the present wide modern ones and then to complete the gift, he told us to select the furnishings. Everything from the panelled walls to the floor covering has been care- fully chosen for its durability, with- out losing sight of the charm bf line and color." Mrs. McMullen, assisted by Mrs. E. A. Collins, secretary, received the visitors, who were invited to view the building and to take tea at the conclusion of the ceremonies. Guide House was open to the gen- eral public all Saturday evening, when visitors were shown around and served refreshments by the Guides and Guiders. Mixing 6 OWL Hello Homemakers! "Never un- | derestimate the power of a woman." According to the numerous letters we have received you have put con- servation of electricity into prac- tice. There are many ways to re- duce the amount of electricity used | in the home; this is especially true in preparing meals. Hydro has been rightly valued by you as a great convenience in lighting, heat- ing, cooking and washing and con- sequently you have eliminated any non-essential use of it as request- ed in view of the emergency. There are, however, a few neigh- bors who have not realized the need to save electricity in order that industrial and agricultural concerns may be served with pow- er to do their jobs. Many, many operations are effected only by elec- tric power. More electricity must be saved to produce food, clothing arid shelter for our people. Let us consider every small saving. 1. Use a flashlight going through a hall with a high ceiling fixture in which there is a high wattage lamp. When exploring clothes closet, attic or basement take the flashlight. You can save electricity on these infrequent, short, trips. - 2. Candles for the dinner table are now a necessity in order to save electricity. 3. Soak clothes in water to which you have added a detergent which softens the water and soaks out the dirt -- then you need operate the | washing machine for a much short- er period. - 4. Shake the clothes before you hang them on the line and peg them to let the breeze dry them as quickly and as evenly as pos- sible. 5. A card table near the clothes line will save you much time and much ironing. Fold everything as you remove the linen and gar- ments from the line, spreading them smooth with 'the palms of your hands. Towels, pillow slips, sheets and underwear may be pat- ted into shape ready to put away without ironing. 6. Plan to begin ironing with rayon fabrics while the iron is heating and set aside small sheer pieces to finish ironing after the on is turned to "off" and is cool- ng. 7. If you have been ironing in a dark corner with a light on, hereto- fore, unhinge cupboard type of board and place it between two straight back chairs near a win- dow. 8. Save time and electricity by planning meals ahead. 9. Keep a well-stocked emergency shelf. Make use of commercially prepared mixtures and individual baking dishes. 10. Prepare foods that the chil- dren can eat with you--then there will be less cooking--therefore less consumption of -electricity. For in- Stance, applesauce instead of apple pie. 11.-Boil only the amount of water required for tea. The use of a dipper or quart measure in fill- ing the tea kettle is as important today as the teaspoon to measure the tea. 12. If you only require two cups of water for tea or cocoa, heat it on the same closed element as you have cooked the potatoes using the electricity stored in the element. 13. Stored heat in the oven can be used to advantage. After you have baked an oven meal and the heat is turned off, custard mixtures, apples and tapioca can be cooked for the next meal's dessert."
