Canadian Girls in Training | Can "the scarlet of the maple shake" you "Like a cry of bugles going by?" Is your "heart like a rhyme With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time?" Bliss Carman tells same poem that "There is something in the au- tumn sets the gypsy blood astir; We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls and calls each vaga- bond by name." s Many groups have been ex- periencing this Spirit of Adven- ture which Autumn, possibly more than any other season, pro- motes, Hikes, etc., have been very much in order. But amongst our younger friends we are now finding those who intend to re- tain this spirit throughout the whole course of their program. And so we hear from the--Ex- plorers! us in this Explorers The first expedition of the King St. "Explorers" was held on Tuesday evening frcm 6.30 to eight o'clock. Who are these people, and what right have they to their thrilling nomenclature? Not to be outdone by their big brothers and sisters who belong to Trail Rangers and C.G.LT., the boys and girls ages ten, eleven and twelve have banded themselves into an exploring party. Of course they are guided by a company which leads them to the North Star, Their explora- tions will take the form of sev- eral expeditions, each expedition leading into different channels such as games, handcraft, read- ing, collecting, service, etc. Nat- urally no expedition can begin without adequate preparation, and so the meeting on Tuesday night was spent in getting ready for the expedition which will be launched in a few weeks at the initiation ceremony. Although the King St. Explor- ers are the pioneers, we are hop- ing soon to hear of more expedi- tions on the other churches, En- couragement from the Big Brother and Sister organizations will be appreciated. Tea Tea at one's leader's home 1s always a pleasure, On Tuesday evening this was enjoyed by the Four Square Group of St. An- drew's who met at Mrs. Tait's home, Following further discus- sion of plans for the year, the evening was devoted to musical appreciation.

Meantime, on Tues- day evening of this week they had a very instructive and in- teresting meeting addressed by Margaret MacKenzie of Llewel- lyn Hall. China seems a much more real country now. Northminster News The Kitchikewanas provided for all Northminster C.G.I.T. a meeting which was both impres- sive and enjoyable, The speaker was Miss Marjorie Beer of On- pointed. Station J-0-Y tario Ladies' College, with whom are entrusted the joys of O.L.C. Religious Education and Riding. That speaks much! The speaker did I say? I apologize; there are greater things than speakers. Miss Beer talked with us--truly a greater thing--ecrystallizing our some- time impressions, formulating our half-born thoughts, and encour- aging our struggling ideals, She talked as a' fellow C.G.I.T. as one to whom a Group has meant much, and to whom other groups had become as kindred spirits. She showed us again tne place of the group in the church and in the world. She talked of the ad- vantage C.G.I.T. has always given us of knowing each other, of the fun of working together, and the sense of greater possibilities by being together, But greater possibilities bring greater responsibilities, and to- day brings more than yesterday did. It is to us, on whom will fall the responsibility of the thinking of tomorrow, that econ- omic problems, race problems, disarmament problems, peace problems showed mean much, And, should we be discour- aged by the greatness of our task, be too disheartened at the trifle we feel we can do, we are to remember that ideas are pow- erful things; that they cannot be quenched, and that even our having them--and certainly our expressing them--is worthy, For once was there not One Man who had a great idea, - which, told through His friends, caught fire? ers Leaders are reminded of the Leaders' Council which meets on Friday evening of this week at the home of Mrs. Tait, 50 Aber- deen St. We are to be especially favoured at this month's Council by the presence of our 'Big Chief", Jessie MacPherson, who will lead a discussion on the planning of Worship Services, GUIDES' MOTHERS MEET GUIDERS Plan To Raise Money For 3rd Company Funds At the conclusion of 3rd Oshawa Girl Guide meeting at King Street School last evening mothers of the Guides met and discussed with the Guiders of the Company, of which Miss Vera Moyse is the Captain, ways and means of raising money to increase the company funds. The results of the evening were most profitable. It was the first occasion on which Guiders and mothers had met, The Guiders expressed their delight in the interest that' the mothers of the Guides take in their work and, play as Girl Guides, The meeting was strictly informal and it was decided to refrain from electing an executive in order to do away with all formalities, Each mother present promised her assist- ance in raising the sum of $40. that is needed to carry on the Company work for the remainder of the win- ter and the spring of next year. Some suggested giving teas, other bridges and others sales of home- cooking. The women agreed to call themselves 3rd Company Committee for their number, included some whose interest in the Guide move- ment is great, but who have not daughters in the Company. The next meeting of this Committee will be called at the end of the month of November, Among those pre- sent were Miss Moyse, Captain of the Company and her two lieuten- ants, Miss Yvonne Hazelwood, and Miss Lois Mundy, Mrs. George Norris, Mrs. F, J. Jarrell, Mrs. Zei- man, Mrs, G. A. Townsend, Mrs, H W Sheridan, Mrs, P. A, Rom- bough, Mrs. H. R. Wilbur, Mrs. C. H. Aston, Mrs. A. C. Newell, Mrs. W. E. Jenkins, Mrs. C.

A young bull Elk full of pride in the largest antlers he had yet grown and in the strength and fine appearance which be believed to be his, had started out to woo a mate, Now, among the Elk folk to woo a mate is usually to fight for her. The young bull knew this, but in his youthful pride and conceit believed that he was quite equal to a successful wooing of this kind, "I may not be as big as some who are older than 1," thought he, "but I am quick, and some of these big fellows are rather slow. Quickness often wins over strength. But I am strong, too, I am not afraid of any- body." He threshed the bushes with his antlers and snorted and blew as he boasted to himself And then he heard far in the distance the chal- lenge of Bugler the great IXlk whom Farmer Brown's Boy was watching," The young bull stood still, listening. Again he heard the challenge "That is an old fellow," thought he. "He a mate, but perhaps I can win her from him." He filled his luhgs and answered the challenge, but though he did his best, his voice lacked the full clear notes of Bugler. It was more of a squeal and whistle than a bugle-like call, 1 still probably has That was because he was young and not fully developed, al- though he felt so big and import- ant, Again he heard the challenge, and again he prepared to answer it but didn't. You see, he had heard it answered from another ridge, and that answer was as full and clear as the challenge, He didn't need to be told that it came from another big fellow. So instead of answering he remained listening "That fellow means to fight" thought he. "To judge by his voice he is as big as the other. I'll over and watch that fight, Perhaps zo Ww. Burgess that first one has not yet won his mate, and while they are fighting for her 1 may be able to steal her away. She ought to prefer a hand- some young fellow like me. Any- way, I want to see that fight. So, moving quietly that none might suspect his presence, he made his way towards that opening in the woods from which that challenge had come. He got there just after the great battle had started, and when he saw the size and strength of the two fighters he suddenly felt small and was glad that it was the other fellow, and not he, who had accepted that challenge, But he did not forget the purpose of his visit and soon 'discovered Mrs. Bugler watching the fight with eyes that gleamed with excitement, He stole around near her and did his best to attract her attention, but she would not give him so much as a glance. Her attention was wholly on the raging battle, "Perhaps," thought he, "the win- ner will be so used up that he can- not fight more, and then I can drive him away acd she will come with me." So he turned his attention to the fight, When at last the fight ended and saw the defeated one leave hur- riedly, hie turned his attention to Bugler, Now was his chance be- fore the latter could rest and re- gain his strength, He took a step forward then stopped. Bugler was standing with head proudly thrown he STYLISH STOUTS A SAMPLE RANGE OF NEW FALL DRESSES | From a Manufacturer who specializes in half sizes and short stouts Youthful becoming styles designed by experts in the art of creating slenderizing lines.

His pride was hurt, He no longer felt big and important. He was not a cow- ard; he was merely wise, He had no chance in a fight with Bugler and he knew it. He had' nothing to gain and much to lose, To fight unless forced to against hopeless odds is the height of foolishness (Copyright, 1931, T. W. Burgess) The next story: "Wisdom is Bet- Than S ter Strength." ANNUAL BRIDGE OF | Successful Event Was H:1d in Hotel Genosha Yes- terday Afternoon As always the annual bridge and tea under the auspices of the Oshawa General Hospital was one of the most delightful af- fairs of the season.
