© rd gt a THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE + PAGE NINE a -- Activities Of T Young People Of Oshawa ACTIVITIES By DON HOULDEN By DON HOULDEN Scouter's Club Scouter's Club meets on Monday evening next, with a full agenda 'of business to be dealt with. This is indeed a very important meet- ing, and Chairman Ed wants every Scouter to be there. The question of the Scout Field Day will be dis- cussed, and this should bring many supporters and non-supporters of the new plan to their feet. Plan to be out, and help plan for a better Scout year. Recognition Dinner . Tuesday evening will see a great gathering of civic and Scouting dignitaries out at Samac, when 16 King's Scouts receive their Certifi- cates. Jackson Dodds, C.BE, will be guest speaker, and those lucky enough to go will certainly mark this down as a red letter evening. The banquet, the first of its kind here, will honor those sixteen who have earned their badges. Oshawa's Scout Shop Careful planning and progressive thought have gone hand in hand to promote the idea of this city of 37,900 having its own supply head- quarters, Johnston's Men's and Boys' Wear store, next to the Do- minion Bank have been appointed to handle the uniforms and other accessories, thus easing the burden on parents and leaders in ordering equipment, 3 It is suggested that all leaders announce this important move to their Packs, Troops and Crews. Mr. Richardson is also handling a small number of badges at his Head- quarters, All this is in direct keeping with the idea that this large community should have a place at where one could purchase Scout equipment. The committee that has brought this appointment about should be congratulated. 7th to Rochester The 7th are off again, this time back to Rochester with their friends, the 18th Tay House Troop. They left last night for their Camera City, and will return sometime on Sunday evening. Plan Achievement Several Troops are conducting their part of Plan Achievement with great wisdom, and already some of the boys have fulfilled their personal portions of the plan. The plan calls for systematic improve- ment of every Scout and Leader, Scout Leader's Course The Scoutmaster's Course will be held this weekend at Samac with about 21 scouters in attendance. Stan Richardson is acting as Scout- master, with our friend Jack Rich- ardson as his ASM, District Rover Scout Leader C. K. Anderson and Rover Scout Leader Ron Nicolson will also be helping. Srd "B" CUB NEWS "Busy Bees" Our meeting Thursday evening opened with Grand HOWL led by Gary Dodsworth, Bagheera read out formations of the new sixes and ap- pointments of new sixers, and seconds. There was a good turnout Cubs despite the frigid weather. Dues were collected and Sunday school attendance recorded by Bag- heera. Health Train was taken, the winning 8ix being the White with | the Blue Six second. Kim took a | game of French Tag then Bagheera | led the boys in games, of Chicken | Fight, Grab the Hat, and Train. | Then we played the game of 'Cub | Law Relay'. Pack, Pack, and we formed a Cub circle to play Blind Man's Buff--a new favorite with « the Cubs. The meeting came to a close with Grand Howl being led by Jimmy Mitchell, followed by the Cub prayer, and the Lord's Prayer. Don't forget to do your good turn every day. Good night Cubs, and good hunt- ing. BAGHEERA., 4TH OSHAWA CUB PACK The Districc Commissioner for Cubs, Mrs. Dorothy Alker, visited us last Monday evening. We were pleas- ed to see her, and hope that she drops in again very soon. After inspecti Bruce Johnst Jed the pack in Grand Howl. Akela presented Bob Currell, John Moffatt and Cyril Lapp with their Artist Badges, and Wayne MacMillan with his House Orderly Badge." Bob Cur- rell stepped up to receive the pen- Bint for his six. Good work, Grey The Ankle Crash race was won by the Grey Six too. But when it came time to play Round and Round About, the Red Six walked away with it. During instruction Jamie Slyfield passed Book Balancing and Barry Appleby passed National Anthem. After a lion hunt down the road and through the swamp, the meet- ing closed with prayer. THE OLD ONES. 7 "B" CUB PACK NEWS Glad to see so many of the boys who were sick, back again just as lively as ever. 4 Grand Howl was led by Eric Mit- chison, and inspection followed for pads, handkerchigfs and a good deed for the day. It was nice to notice how many of the boys help their. mothers with little tasks. Akela announced the Father and Son Banquet on February 23rd. We want every boy to come and bring their father--admission for your dad' is 50c. but YOU get in free. Pretty nice, eh? Keep that date in mind, and remember to look spotless. The Red Six are going to the show this Friday night as their re- ward for good work in the last contest. The Green six started the new contest off very well this week and received the pennant. Akela led a game of 'Snatch the Flag." Some of the Cubs didn't "snatch" --they just flopped. Hope no bruises were acquired. During instruction period, the fol- | Jowing Cubs passed tests: Knots-- Jim Hutchison, Don Hodder; Com- pass--Ron Stuart, Don Clark, Har- old Joyce, Don Hodder, George Gud- geon, Bobby Clarke, The boys practised their skits for a while--so we hope they have them all planned and ready for produc- tion next week. #4 John Turiansky led Grand Howl, and we repeated the Cub prayer. Better start reminding your fath- ers about the banquet right now, kids. Good hunting Pack. BAGHEERA. 8TH B CUB NEWS The meeting of February 5, 1951 opened with Grand Howl. Riki led us in a game of trains. One train was derailed, so did not receive a point. The Clothing Re- lay led by Akela proved. a little hard on the uniforms. They will all need a good wash after that. Akela talked to us about being neat and tidy in our uniforms, so let's have them spik and span for next Monday and try to keep them that way. The highlight of the meeting was the Investiture of three new Chums, The newly invested members are Robert Bradley, John Waugh and Fred Konkle, Our guests of honor, who came to witness this impres- sive ceremony, were Mrs. Waugh and Mr, Bradley. The meeting closed with Grand Howl and evening prayers BAGHEERA. 14TH WOLF CUB PACK It was a very speclal night at the 14th. Akela was quite honored to invest. Jackie Taylor and Jimmy Leaver as Wolf Cubs. They have now 'entered the Boy Scout move- ment which is world wide. We ap- signalling, but he made it difficult for everyone but Nosey by sending the message backwards. The S.M. claims that Nosey does everything backwards anyway, so he found it as easy as "volunteering" for K.P. The main évent of the evening was the Knot Champ race, and by the time of the finals, only Knox, Ab- bott, Taylor and Kerr. The Scout- master stated that the first Scout to win two firsts would be the winner. It was a very close com- petition, though, for it took four races before Abbott was declared the winner, with a time of fifteen seconds, Mr. Holloway started to tell us the story of Baden Powell's life, but did not finish it, for he explained that there was so much to tell that the story would have to be told in several chapters. I hope the next chapter is as good as the first ome, 8ir. The Troop was sorry to learn that Frew Whalley is laid up in bed with a bad knee. Tough luck, Fred, but just remember that the Fourth Oshawa has lasted for twenty-six years, so you will probably survive too. Thine, NOSEY. 7th OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS Off to Rochester--will be back next week. SNOOPY STH OSHAWA SEA SCOUTS Three cheers and a Tiger rang through the 8th Scout Hall last Thursday night as P.L. Jack Nicol- son received his King's Scout Badge. With him was his dad, who had taken time off work to make the presentation. Jack worked hard for his badge, and is now finishing up requirements for his Red and 'White cords, Also on thé honor programme for the evening was the Troop's wel- come to three newly invested Scouts ~Dalton Woods, Lloyd Tindall and David Jack. For Nicolson it was an added feature, to see one of his Patrol invested. For P.L. Grant Reeve it was a needed diversion, seeing that his curling club lost on their playoff night. Too bad, Grant! The Signalling class went to town again and the improvement can be noted. One of, the best signallers in the class is Bob Gill, while Gil- bert- Taylor and Craig Railton are steadily improving. The Beavers conducted a "King's Game" while the Seagulls worked hard on their C work. N preciated Mr. Taylor ing down to see the Investiture and his Good Turn in assisting us with Inspec- tion. Thank you, kindly. You fellows all looked very smart this week. ' We didn't have very many passengers left on our Health | Train when we reached the end of the line, though. Cleanliness takes a large part in Cubbing. Cleaning teeth, fingernails, paws are also as important as uniform. Points are as follows: Red 24, Grey 22, Green 22, Brown 18. Reds are still head- ing the list. As some of our leaders were ab- sent, Akela, Kim and Bagheera planned a games night. The games we enjoyed playing were "Cars," "Follow the Leader' and "Farmer and Thief." Sorry to hear of Denny's injury but from everyone at the 14th we hope you will soon be well and back with us. Due to choir practice at the church our meeting was cut short. We closed with a brief sing-song and Cub prayer. Our opening ceremony of Grand Howl was taken very well by Gary Minacs. Next week is Valentine's so be ready for a surprise treat. Always remember the Cub motto, "Do Your Best." Good hunting. OLD WOLVES. FIRST OSHAWA DO'IN'S Hi Gang! (You too Patricia). It was a cold, cold Scout Hall that we entered last meeting. Yep! no fire. meeting opened with friz Gatchell breaking the flag, (that is, if you call what he did "breaking the flag" --and a Patrol leader too!) Prayer and the lonely announcement that Registration cards are ready wound up the first part of the "ice-jam." After dues had been chipped out of the ice filled pockets and a grand total of 15 points lost by the one man (Patrol Leader) Muskrat Pa- trol a hot game of "Pull in the Dark" began. Did I say hot! It was really rough and exciting. Only a few boys with broken noses and arms though.) Thanks to a couple of gorillas I was badly mauled but am still alive. (Too bad huh!) I still don't see why you had to pick on me Reg. After 15 minutes of this every lad was exhausted, dusty and looked "beat up" (We were warm though) Inspection caught the boys in .a terrible state of affairs with buttons off, ties out of place, shirt-tails out and hair uncombed. The Eagle pa- trol did win it however and earned themselves their usual 10 points. Conway is still wondering why he didn't win it. He had a patrol in -perfect condition (so he says) only one man there though--him. Try to get a few more of your patrol out for next week eh Dave, maybe you can win it then? (that's a laugh). The meeting closed just as our limbs 'were unthawing but most of us were glad to have Lawrence Gatchell demonstrate how he can lower the flag. He tried anyway. Everyone then stumbled off home very weary. "I HEARS" , Lawrence has to go through a Patrol leader's course next week to learn how to break and lower the flag. How many more of us need this instruction eh? . Here's a joke of the week. Conway, "What are you supposed to teach your patrol on meeting nights," an- swered with an idiotic smile, 'Law and Promise Sir." (Maybe he needs the practice, but it is an embarrass- ment to the rest of his patrol. All the boys miss you S.M, Mc- Knight and A.S.M. Smith. - Come back'°as soon as possible. Competi- tion points--Gée Whia!--Wolf, 140? Loon, 990; Eagle, 70; Muskrat, 38. Until next week then, "Keep warm." y "THE EARS" (and the ears hears). 4th OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS Last Wednesday night the Lead- ers tried out two games on the Troop, and Nosey hopes that they try them . again, However, Nosey suggests that the next time the three-team dodge ball game is centre team. They would be much | better targets. After the Patrol Corner period, Mr. Holloway told us a story using compass directions. By the time he had finished, he really had us going around in circles. It's a good thing that he didn't follow Bill Taylor's suggestion, and start talking about China, for we. should have found it very difficult to face downwards. Al Crandell, our Troop Leader, then £AVe US A message by semaphore A Brave Bob Logan staggered out Into the below zero weather in shorts, much to the Troop's pride. Believe it or not, Christmas card money started to roll again after Skip Houlden's remarks. Maybe that will hurry the others that have for. gotten. Mr. Harbell's campfire was as screwy as ever, and if this Boogy Woogy Three Blind Mice doesn't soon stop somebody is going to go crazy. Mr, Harrell got so worked up that he is going to Ottawa to have his nerves relieved. Blonde or brunette, Mr. Harrell. Well, as we French say, Mr. Harrell, "Don't get perdu," and we mean 'perdu'! Be sure to stay up in the Gatineaux Hills! AQUARAT No. 2. 11TH OSHAWA BOY SCOUTS The meeting was begun with flag. break by the Loons, and the prayer was read by Ed White, After in- spection we had a game of rooster fighting and then split up for scout work. Ed white made a start on the second class first aid and Bill Ling took charge of the knotting class, Our oldtime friend, Bud Pipher, dropped in to pay us a visit and was immediately called upon to be a "volunteer victim" for our bandaging half-wit, Ron Oke. Soon it was hard to see him for all his broken bones. Then Mr. Law came in for a min- ute, and became the hero in a pres- entation ceremony by the Troop for giving us the course in splicing. Ed White made the presentation in the absence of PL Jack Nicholls who is still 11, This was followed by a game of Push-and-Pull when Bill Ling tried in vain to dig a furrow in the floor with his ski boots. (He soon had to get them off!) Then we had a game of Boom Coming Over with Ron Oke making terrific efforts to pro- tect his poor, wrecked basketball knees. I guess he'll have to go to Africa where the little negro boys don't worry about hardwood gym floors. After a game of Snatch the Hat, we closed the meeting. Those who had been good (that is, on time) stayed for a game of floor hockey. But first we had a meeting of the Tent-Peg staff to complete prepar- ations for the next issue of our Troop newspaper. After that--Bang! Crack! Ouch! Floor hockey again. (P.S.: 8'Long, Ron--I'll see you in Africa soon.) . CRIMSON ARROW. 15th OSHAWA SCOUT TROOP Honor Ante Gloriam Well, Thursday night saw the last two boys, who were ready to be invested, join the troop. This makes 17 tenderfoot 8 48 d class and 8 recruits in the troop. Wel- come into the troop to Jack Strapley and Bill Baille. Inspection found the Beaver and Fox Patrols still without Patrol Boxes. Therefore, their total points for inspection was % point each! "Ikky"" hears that the Beaver Patrol Box only needs a second coat of paint and should be done by Friday of this week while the Fox Patrol Box may be done this week- end. (We hope) A.8.M. Dickson came up with a lively game of Staff Balance--Move right or left. (That's the best title "lkky"" can think of). Inspection found many again working on signalling. Some fellows should be ready to pass it by now. Several tests were passed. These are Harold Yarmolag--Signs and Salute; "Archie" Fry-=Signs and Salute; Ted Williams--Compass; Don Claus ~--Lashings; Fred Newman--Union Flag; Don Wilson--8igns and Sa- lute; and Earl Atkinson--Lashings. S.M. came up with a game of 'Deliver the Message." The message was "Peter Pumpkin sold several toys to two bad boys' or something like that. The results were really scrambled, A test game on Union Flag came next. We have not had a test game for quite a few weéks and it looks as if we're a little rusty. There wasn't one patrol without a mis take. Horseshoe followed to end the meeting. "Ikky"" notices that about half the.troop have Scout Staves, How about. the rest? That's a good thing to use your paper credit for. A.8.M. Dickson sold a few pic- tures. If anyone still wants one, he should see A.S8.M. Dickson next week. Next Wellnésday the Patrol Laéad. | eg and Seconds are meeting at | 9, 78 Simmons place to start pre- he GIRL GUIDE ACTIVITIES By DORIS L. COLDRICK SCROLL AND LOG BOOK The Brownies, Guides, Guiders, and all the citizens of Oshawa in- 'terested in Guiding, will be greatly honoured on Sunday, February 18, when the Scroll and Log Book, whicl. are travelling across Canada, will arrive' at Guide House for inspection. The Scroll is a "Message of Friendship" from the Chief Com- missioner of the Guide Movement of Great Britain, and after touring the British Isles, was presented to Princess Margaret, at the 13th World Conference of Girl Guides at Oxford," England, last July 29th. Princess Margaret, in turn, pre- sented it along with a Log Book, at the World Conference, to Mrs, D. E. 8. Wishart, Canadian Chief Commissioner of Girl Guides. The Log Book contains contributions from each city or town which it has visited, and-will be a very worth- while Book to see. BROWN OWLS CLUB Notice to all Brown Owls and Tawnys: The monthly meeting will be held at Girl Guide House on Friday, Feb. 16th, at 7:30 pm. Everyone is asked to make a special effort to attend. During the instruction period, Guiders of 1st Brownie Pack will be the instructors. GLADYS M. WISKIN Secretary. 2ND BROWNIES Brownies found the tables set up in their six corners when they came in from school and all set right to work on their Valentine handcraft. They were so interested in their work that we did not have our opening at the usual time. There were three girls who help- ed our Brownies with three singing games. 2nd Brownies want to thank Jean for teaching them the 'Jolly Miller" and Susan for the interest- ing game "Hey Little Lassies'. Tawny took the belated opening and Roll Call' and there were three girls who did not answer and only one of the girls had telephoned Brown Owl and given her reason. We were very glad to welcome a new Tweenie and a girl who is transferring. In Pow-wow the Brownies were asked to make Health Scrap Books and bring them to their next meet- ing. There was a short talk on Health as this is National Health Week. Brownies were asked to bring in suggestions. for a Good Turn for Girl Guide Week. Please Brownies put on your "thinking caps" and with some good ideas. Brownie Taps was sung and Good- night and away flew the Brownies until next Monday. _ Our Fairy Crowns are really look- ing very lovely with all the brilliant jewels adorning them. Elves have 36 jewels; Fairles 28; Kelples 35; and Sprites 12. The Sprites Sixes must remember she is letting her six down when she does not attend the meetings. Pledse try to put more jewels on your Crown. GLADYS M. WISKIN, Brown Owl. STH BROWNIES A new opening song was partially learned and then the Pack was in- structed 'in the first seven letters of the semaphore alphabet. After the Brownies had shown sufficient progress in signalling, two jolly games were played, "Did You Ever See a Lassie' and "Briar Rose Bed". The Sixers were dismissed, dur- ing the story period, to rehearse the small play given them last week. There were reports that some Brownies forgot to bring their "Lines", so the other members of parations for a party. Enough about that for now. On Sunday, February 25, we are having a Church Parade. Let's keep that day open. The Father and Son Banquet is March 8. Don't forget to let your Dad know. Service. Stars will be given out next week (At Last!!) The Wolf and Nighthawk Patrols had Patrdl meetings last week and so final points (up to end of Thurs- day night) are Beaver 31%; Fox 29%; Nighthawk 50%; Wolf 55. Roaming Rumours When are we going to get new candles for Investitures? Harold Yarmoia, since when did the Scottish flag look like a plus sign instead of a multiplication sign? Last week, at the corner of Olive and Albert Street there was some interesting conversations, Ask Danny Kocho or his friends. Jack Stapley is a sweet boy. He must be. Look at all the candy he has on Thursday nights. We hear Danny Kocho is getting a lot of practice with foul shots in basketball. How many, Danny?? Well, 'till next week, "Adios", I. PRY ("Ikky") NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE THIRD Hi scouts, Eye went skiing on Sunday and boy what fun. That nice soft, fluffy snow, dribbling down my back. "How did it get on your back" you say. "Well it's like this, some irresponsible individual dropped half of a snowman on me, I think." Well so much for snow, now we turn to the temperature, being so nice as it is, reminds me of the days when Ted Baidman and I were with the mounties and we caught "Big Mike Killer" Donevan. What a trip up in the warm north country! So, you see fellows, this weather isn't so bad. Cold makes for rinks and snow makes for skiing, sledd- ing, toboganning, etc. Now would be a\good time for a troops sleigh- riding party. "How about it if you would like one just get in contact with our leaders'? Duty patrbl this 'week was the Rattlesnake patrol who couldn't seem to keep their members to clean up. Scouts please remember its your patrol and what it is, 1s what you've made it. Sorry, 'no points have been given to me so far so Eye will try and have them for next week. Au Revoir, THE EYE the Pack, are waiting until next Thursday to see the proper pres- entation of "Three Little Kittens". Congratulations to Joan Brown, who passed the final test for the Gold- en Hand Badge. AGNES PUGH, Brown Owl. 7TH BROWNIES Tawny was very pleased to see so many Brownles out. The Sixers who got their stripes last week had them sewn on their uniforms, . But there were two Brownies who forgot their hats, otherwise we would have had a very smart pack. Don't forget them next meeting Brownies. "No Names'. Fee cards were then taken care of. We had our usual Fairy ring, then followed our talking period when Denise Nussbaumer told us something about the three things she brought along from the outside world. Denise Boivin and Sylvia Vetzal passed their tests in Service and Intelligence. Sorry Irene but you will have to work a little harder. I must not forget my Semaphore Brownies, who are working very hard. Thanks to you Eileen Hanson. Happy Birthday was sung for Janice Smegal and Betty Hanson who have a birthday this week. Meeting closed with prayers, then the "squeeze" which was taken home by Janice Smegal. See you all Tuesday. Full uniform. CHRIS WATSON, Tawny Owl. STH BROWNIES Fairy train arrived on time with 21 pasengers. Birthday greetings were for Margaret O'Neil. Fairy gold was taken up by Brakeman Margar- et O'Neil and Conductor Ann Thom- son punched cards. Lynda Toppings brought in squeeze and Alice Lesley put it away. All enjoyed the game of Magic Chest. Everyone was quite on the alert and it was amusing at times the answers that were made, Some of the Brownies even fooled Brown Owl and Packie. Some Brownies were missing; looks like a change must be made in Sixers. How are the mumps Caro- line! Hope you are getting better. If anyone has measles now please let me know. After songs and dances, prayer was sald followed by Taps and all hurried away home. MRS. BRENNAN, Brown Owl. 10TH BROWNIES After the opening exercises and prayers Brownies went to different sections of the building to try their various tests. Mrs. R. Godfrey was in charge of the Tweenies who are almost ready for enrolment. While Tawny Owl helped with another group working on knots, Packie was instructing in Semaphore, while Brown Owl was helping the ones who will be trying their handicraft test next month. Now girls it is up to you to work hard and let us see you get your Golden Hand and Wings, just take a little time off from your play to study, you will have plenty of time for that later on. A nice game was played and after Brownle Taps were sung, the Brownie who put away the Magic Squeeze was Carol Godfrey and the Pack was dismissed. Congratulations are in order for Carol Edwards and Carol Coty who passed - their Intelligence test, and Barbara Millar, Gwen Kemp, Elean- or Maye: McDonald, Nancy Wilson, Betty Ann Groat and Frances Smy- kel who passed their service test. Sorry that some of the Brownies are still on the sick list, and we trust that Ila, Iva and Violet will soon be better and we missed Bon- nie, 'Evelyn and Helen this week, and no one is forgotten and Brown Owl hopes to see you back as quickly as possible, so as not to miss out on anything that comes along, as I know some of you would like to merit a reward and receive it at the Banquet. So-long for now, see you next meeting. MRS. LANGFIELD, Brown Owl. 11TH BROWNIES Brown Owl was very sorry not to be able to come to the meeting this week, but will try hard to be there next time. Tawny tells me you were all very good Brownies and worked hard during your short work-perfod. I'm sure you accomplished a great deal. Apparently the marching and games were a big success, too. It is too bad so many Brownles were away and let's hope they can be present next week for a Valentine meeting. ' MRS, D. B. STEWART, . Brown Owl 13TH BROWNIES As the Brownies came into Brown- feland last Saturday they were all given Handicraft material to make a Valentine. For the opening they all took a bus ride to Fairy Land and formed a very nice Fairy Ring. We were sorry five of our Brownies did not come to the meeting, as we had one sick Brownie and two had gone down to Girl Guide House to try Golden Hand tests. So you see our Fairy Ring was very small We would like to welcome the three new girls into our happy family and hope they will have many joyful hours with us. Kay led inthe Inspection Song and what a lot of Grannie Knots we found instead of Reef Knots in our ties. Also one Brownie without any of her uniform on. The Imps won the game of "Cross- ing the Street." Too bad the Imp Sixes found other things more pleas- ant to do on the last three Satur- days. We certainly hope to see the stranger this week. In Pow-wow plans for the month of February were made, also a talk on National Health Week. Elsie started the Magic Squeeze around a very tight circle. Then Taps and Good-night closed the busy meet. ing. Congratulations to Jean on be- coming a Golden Hand Brownie. Good work Jean, we are all very pleased. The Sprites were able to put an- other sticker on the chart. GLADYS W. WISKIN, Brqwn Owl SRD GUIDE COMPANY Our attendance is improving, and Et the Cornflowers, Fuschias and Or- Shids were given points for inspec- tion. A new game called Irish Spuds was played, and even humming "Here Comes the Bride" did not keep the potatoes on .top of the Guides' hat. How they laughed when somebody's partner lost her potato just when they' were cross- ing the finishing line. Then Joy read the story of Betty Boop, Pop- eye and the Wolf while the com-| pany supplied the sound effects. Everyone worked hard in corners and the following tests were pass- ed: Health Rules, D. Elliott, P, Hodder, D. Brown, C. Clough, M. Eder and B. Dowton; Hemming, D. Brown, J. Sharples and H. Whal- ley; Buttons, M. Eder and K. Rob- bins; darning, H. MacDonald and P. Hodder; Nature, G. Anderson; Bedmaking Notes, M, Blears and G. Anderson. Classes have begun in First Aid and Public Service. , Shirley and Margie taught a new song called "Blow The Wind South- erly". A few more songs and Taps and prayer closed the meeting. We would certainly like to see Vi- vian back again next week. M. PALMER, Captain. 4TH GUIDES . The meeting opened with the Guide Promise. Fees "Were collected, Pa- trol Books were marked and attend. ance was taken.: The Company formed a Horseshoe and Mrs. Kirk-: patrick was enrolled by Miss Moyse. Miss Thompson enrolled June Fice, Sandra Scott, Beverley MclInroy, Jean Kirkpatrick and Joan Wherry. Miss Fenton led the girls in the games 'Jumping Up and Down the Old Cross Wagon' and 'Streets and Alleys." Miss Fenton then helped those who are trying their Hostess and Miss Pierson led the girls in the games "French Tag" and "Rat in the Trap". Miss Thompson and Miss Fenton took inspection and the Robin had a perfect Patrol. The Thrush and Canary tied with 9 points, the Or- jole, Swallow and Kingfisher with 8 and the Scarlet Tanager tailed with 5 points. At campfire the girls were given a peek at the plctures which were taken at last week's enrdlment. Or- ders were taken for the pictures and plans for Church Parade were made. The Mother and Daughter banquet will be on March 9, so start think- ing about entertainment for this banquet girls. A few favorite songs were recall- ed and the meeting was closed with "Softly Fades the Light of Day" and 'Taps'. ELINORE' PIERSON, Company Leader. 5TH GUIDE During the past few weeks the following Guides of 5th have been successful in passing tests as fol- lows :--District Map and Knowledge, Carol Jamieson, . Patty Steckley, Betty Ann McMullen, Ruth Wilkins, Mary Fudger and Eleanor Topham; First Class First Aid and Home Nursing, Joyce Smith and Mary Fudger; Laundress Badge, Mary Fudger, Patty Steckley, Eleanor Topham, Joyce Smith, Ruth Wil. kins, Carol Jamieson, Arlene Mc- Cristall and Marilyn McKnight. Keep up the good work Guides. At last week's meeting 5th was pleased to welcome Mrs. Beatrice Henderson as a new Lieutenant. Mrs, Henderson is a former Guide from the 6th Company. The meeting opened in the regu- lar manner, with inspection follow- ing, by the Captain. We hope to have a better attendance next Week as there are many plans to be made for our Thinking Day meeting, so please try and attend, and don't forget those uniforms. A round of marching followed by a lively game of Btreets and Al- leys was enjoyed by all. Next Pa- trol Cornérs took place when the pictures that were taken the pre- vious week were shown to the Guides. Any wishing copies of these may get them from the Captain, we are glad to say that all of them turned out exceptionally well. A short class was taken by the Captain, while some of the other First Class work- ers taught their prospective students Semaphore. After this Campfire was held, at which the Captain read a letter re- ceived from the Captain of our In- ternational Friendship Company in England thanking the Fifth for the lovely parcel of goodies which they sent at Christmas. The letter also contained some interesting remarks about the Scroll and Log Book which is to arrive in Oshawa on the 18th of this month, A skit entitled: "The Thing" by some of the younger Guides proved very enjoyable, after which several of our Guide songs were sung. The meeting officially closed with Taps and Guide Prayer. Guides are reminded to keep Feb- ruary the 18th open for two very important events--First, the arrival of the Scroll and Log Book to Osh- awa, and Secondly, the dedication of our new World Flag to be held at St. George's Anglican Church at 7:00 p.m. that night. DORIS COLDRICK, Captain. 6TH GUIDE COMPANY Last week an enrolment was held. Esther Black, Linda Leigh and Vir- ginia Drummond were the new girls enrolled. All the service stars were handed in and nearly everyone has the right year now. Anyone who hasn't please be sure to hand yours in next week. A relay game was played after enrolment. During this game a few girls practiced knots while some others learned about removing stains for their Laundress Badge. Marg. Kirkland passed her Child Nurse last week thus completing her First Class. This makes five First Class Guides in the Company which is a very good average. It was decided that for our Good Turn we would build a Model Camp-site, We will start it two weeks from next Tuesday so every- one be thinking of ideas for it in the meantime. Mrs. Fox had to leave the meet- ing so the Patrol Leaders took over the Camp-fire. We sang a few rounds and then Barb Ann Saunders read (or rather tried to read) an interesting story. The meeting closed with Taps and Guide Prayer. By the way there are still a few girls staying away without letting their Patrol Leader know.
