THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930 4 mt Don't forget the test for '"Home- maker' is tomorrow in the council chamber at 2 p.m. Mrs. Gordon Conant is the tester. Now all good second-class Guides are looking forward to winning their Sick Nurse badge. This badge is one of the four that must be earned for First Class, so every keen Guide awaits a chance to get it, and never lets such a chance pass. Of course, it is too late now to start for this test. It takes about ten or twelve talks and dem- onstrations to complete the course. One company has had a most en- joyable time, making poultices and fomentations and putting them on each other, and taking tempera- tures and changing sheets on a sick bed with the patient in the bed. That is the real way to learn how to do things--by actually doing them. Miss Mary Warling, Miss Mary Trible and another nurse, all graduates of Oshawa Hospital, will be the testers. It is time to be looking forward to the Christmas Good Turn, There are so many ways of doing kindness to others, and after all it is not the size of the deed that counts, but the real spirit behind it. Toys for children, who might not have any, is a kind thought. Thers are plenty of used toys. among all the Guides in a big company, sure- ly, and these might be freshened up and made to look almost like new, Then, stuffed. toys could be made, and Guides can get their Toymakers' badge and at the same time be making lovely toys to use at Christmas.

There were 114 Scout-Guide Toy Shops operated in Canada last Christmas, sending toys to over 50,000 needy children, This year it is hoped there will be more. Clothing and food are always splendid gifts for boxes at the Christmas season. Nearly every child needs stockings--warm ones. One Guide company, that was heard of, had what they called a "shoe fund box," and into it each Guide put the number of coppers that her shoe size was. Then she got every- one she knew to give coppers the size of their shoes. By Christmas there was a lot of money, and the company was able to buy shoes for several children who needed them. Wasn't that a nice idea? 2nd Oshawa Company Patrollers had a meeting this week and plans are being made for a parents' night. Four of the girls of the com- pany passed their hiking test. They are: Betty Hobbs, Annie An- derson, Genevieve James and Dora Sweet, The captain, Mrs. Hicks, has been away at her old home in Pic- ton for the past two weeks and the company this week was in charge of Miss McDowell. Brownies The judging for the Brownie gardens will take place on Wed- nesday and it is hoped the Com- missioner will be present. 3rd. Oshawa 'wo more new recruits! The com- pany is filling up fast. Last week silk title tapes for the left shoulder of the uniform was supplied to each Guide. Several of the girls had them on this week, and they looked snappy. As soon as the other girls get their uniforms they will wear them also. The new ties have arrived, but they have to be hemmed yet, A few of the Guides had done their plain hem satisfactorily, so Miss Moyse allowed them to start on the new ties. The gorgeous flame color in silk broadcloth made a bright spot in the club room, and the girls who were still sewing on the plain white seam worked hard to finigh it well, so they may get a silk tie to hem next week. Do you know the Just-So stories by Kipling? They you know how thrilling it was. in story time to hear about "How the camel got his hump." Then, after a sing song, the really true story of how the Girl Guide salute originated. 1t is not a salute like a soldier gives, for one does not have to give it,'and a Guider is quite apt to give it first to a Guide or Brownie. It is only a friendly greeting that is given by members of a big family, and the three fingered greeting has a deep meaning behind ft, that only those who have taken the Guide or Scout nromise can feel. It is nice to know that the salute goes away back to feudal days, and has a kind, friendly origin, fsn't it? Next week the Third is having a special kind of meeting, and it is being held down in the junior li- brary at 7 o'clock on Thursday, and visitors may come. There will be a secret and a treasure hunt, and new recruits are invited as well. "If 1 bad a ship I'd sail my ship, I'd sail my ship Through Eastern Seas." (A. A. Mline) This is what several of our groups are doing this year, and | they are stopping to study that in- teresting country of Japan. When we hear poople talking about 'Japan, what kind of place do we picture? Do we think of girls and women with flowers in théir hair and gay coloured kimonas and sashes, walking * under coloured paper pavasols, and looking up at delicate pint cherry blossoms? That picture might do for spring, if we leave out the flowers in the hair, and the parasols--but some of us don't know a thing about Japan in winter and what an in- teresting time too we might enjoy reading somo of the fairy tales of these friendly peoples, playing thelr games and' learning their songs, Let us study their festivals too--they have no holiday for 24th May or July 1st, but they | have celebrations for other days, and these reveal to us something of the unique history and customs of that fascinating land. People in Japan will walk miles to see waterfalls, wistaria gardens, or maple trees ablaze with autumn tins, Their love of the beautiful is wonderfully developed. The Snowbird C.G.LT.

Rap!--"Coming, in one moment," said a voice from the depths of a Morris chair beside the glowing fireplace. A man got up, stretched, yawned, and walked to- wards the door. He was of me- dium build with a slight stoop Jet-black hair streaked with grey was in contrast with a long, sallow face. Keen and piercing eyes star- ed from either side of a long, slen- der and hooked nose. He looked like some member of the hawk family. Clutched in the long, claw- like fingers of one hand was a briar pipe of obvious age. As he turnea the door-knob with the other hand a large emerald gleamed balefully. "Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I be- Heve?" said the visitor in an Oxford accent. "At your service, sir, please com in," was the reply. ' "lI am John Lyons, Lord Cecil's private secretary. His Lordship has sent me to ask you to come to Northeliff Castle immediately. 1 assure you that if you could come right away His Lordship would be greatly pleased," said fhe visitor, "1 take it that it has something to do with the robbery that happen- ed a few days ago, am I not right?" asked the detective? On being told that his supposition was cor- rect the detective began to collect some articles of clothing and some of his equipment and put them into a valise. The two men left Holmes' apartment tem minutes later. They reached the castle abaut midnight. Holmes was immediate- ly shown into. the library where Lord Cecil was waiting for him. In the library he found the lord sitting in front of a roaring fire- place. He was nervously tapping the arm of the chair. Beside him was another comfortable chair and between these was a table on which some refreshments had been placed in readiness. After a few words of introduction the two men sat down and while the detective was eating the lunch on the near-by table, Lord Cecil explained why he haa sent for him. Last week a brooch had been stolen from Lady Cecil's dressing-table while she had gone across the hall to her daughter's room. No one could have entered the rcom withouut being seen or heard by either Lady Cecil or her daughter becauuse both doors were open. On the dressing-room table beside the brooch were jewels ot much more value than the brooch, which was made up a red garnet surrounded by pearls. The other jewels on the table were two dia- mond bracelets, a'diamond tiara. an emerald pendant and a rope of pink pearls. It was because the brooch was a heirloom having been handed down from Queen Margaret that he was so enxious to recover it. Lord Cecil sald that the brooch must have been hastily grabbed be- cause it had been torn from the cutthions to which it was pinned. Then the detective asked about the windows, He was told that one of the windows had been open be- cause his niece had noticed it when she had gone in the room to get something or other a few moments previous to the robbery. No one could have used a ladder to gain entry because when Scotland Yard had investigated not a trace of im- print of a ladder or footmarks had been found. Then Holmes asked if by chance any of the servants knew that he was coming. On being as- sured he requested that his identity be kept secret and that his be ac- counted for as an unexpected guest, To this Lord Cecil willingly assent- ed. Lord Cecil got up and said that he had told all he knew about the robbery and that the detective could commence his investigation in the morning, Then Holmes was shown to his bed room and was wished "Good Night' by the lord. Next morning Holmes was shown the room in which the robbery had occured, The walls were covered with rose brocade.

LIBRARY Noes Aral ""Recti Cultus Pectora Roborant."' £3 . One frequently hears it said that it 1s good for young people to have good books readily accessible, and who would deny that? But do they not need some "guide, philo- sopher, and friend" to help them choose their reading wisely and pro- fitably? * £ = Seven hundred and six new books were added to the shelve of the Collegiate Library from Sep- tember 1929 to August 1930, be- sides numerous reports, bulletins, pamphlets, and other publications from government departments, so- cleties, and institutions of learn- ing. The additions include many important reference works for the use of students in the commercial and technical departments. During the school year, Septem- ber 1929 to June 1930, the library was widely used by students and culated during that period. These were borrowed by 983 students and ex-students, Seventy-six books rebound; four were replaced by new copies. Twenty-six volumes were borrowed from the Oshawa Public Library to supply informa- tion not obtainable in school libra- ry .books. The librarian taught 212 lessons on the use of books and libraries. 1,142 more books have been ecir- cujated during September and Octo- ber this year than during the cor- responding months last year. During the summer the librarian published "My Reading Record," a copyright work, which is being used in place of the old-fashioned book ports. It ly received here and elsewhere. The first impression is sold out. The following General Works (Dewey's Generalia Class, 000-009) have been added to the books in the Reference Alcove:--The Graphic (2 vols for Jan.-Dec. 1883, gift of Mrs. McAdie); Reference Catalogue of Current Literature (3 vols.); | The A.

Many things were learned con- corning Rovering and a great deal of information was brought back concerning this older Scout move- ment. During their stay, the Oshawa representatives had the pleasure of being billeted with S.M, H, Willen- egger, who recently visited Oshawa for the Scout Jamboree. S8.M. Willenegger, who comes from Switzerland, has run Scout Troops in Switzerland, Egypt and Africa, and is at present engaged in running a rather unique troop in the Children's Hospital at Thistletown, near Weston, He has to travel about fifteen miles"from his home to reach his Troop, and when he gets there he has only a very few boys, all of 'whom are invalids. : .The Oshawa Bcoutmasters had the pleasure of visiting this troop on Monday last and they were im- pressed by two things. Firstly, that the difficulty of op- erating the Troop for S.M, Willen. egger is a very busy man, proved all, books are cheap if you compare their cost with the cost of anything like the same amount of pleasure | and acquisition of knowledge, A | | house or a room full of books yon | llove is furnished.

"Alice in Wonderland," "Alice Through the Looking lass,' and "Hans Anderson's Fairy Tales" will readily occur to youn. You should alse note "Black Beauty" and "Granny's Wonderful Chair' in the Everyman Library (J. M. Dent.). Then there is Miss Al- cott"s "Little Women" in Bell's Queen's Treasures series! also Rob- ert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verse" in the John Lane edition with the illustrations. It you have not got all these firmly fixed in your head, start a list with them. It is always useful to be ahle to recommend books for chil dren when asked about them. We shall suuggest further additions to your Christmas shopping list. Our plans for this column at present include a weekly article on the use of books and libraries. The Edward Alker Bird-Study Club meets in the Library Friday, November 21st, after the last as- sembly.

Contributions to this column will be welcomed, and should be sent to the not later than Tuesday morning each week. that the scoutmaster was living up to the Scout Law which says that "A Scout's duty is to be useful and to help others," in a way which was very apparent, Secondly, that the boys of the Troop, which has only been run- ning a short time, knew how to. "Smile and Whistle Under All Dif. ficulties." On entering the hospital we were greeted by Ernest, a boy who was hobbling around gn crutches, and who was the patrol leader of the "Beavers" who were all surgi- cal cases. : , I say all, but the patrol now cousists of 'only three boys, one of whom has just been taken out of a plaster cast which has encased his body for years. These fellows had been busy with their work, doing all they could towards making themselves proficient Scouts. : Then, upstairs, we went to see of all medical cases, and we were the other patrol which consisted of all medical cases 'and we were greeted by Bill, the patrol leader. Here we found that the: patrol was a little larger, and strangely enough, most of them were Bills, Two new boys, both of whom are fine, clean-cut fellows, were pamed Bill and all were enthusi- astic about their work. Beside the bed of ope of them was a basket in the making, and when we arrived they were both reading. : The smiles which came from these sick boys were wonderful and they seemed grateful for the work which their Scoutmaster was doing for them. The name of the Troop is the Robert Louis Stevenson Troop, because this great writer of chil- dren's stories, was himself confined to his bed when he wrote those thrilling stories which give pleas- ure to thousands of boys at the present time, There is a movement on hand to start a Wolf Cub Pack in con- pection . with the troop, because there are about five of the boys of Cub age to every one of Scout age in the hospital. It is hoped that the Scouts will be able to .act as instructors for the Cubs when the Pack is form- ed, In the meantime, it is necessary to procure uniforms for the hoys in the Hospital Troop, and Mr, Cheerio, of the Cheerio Club has broadcast an appeal to everybody in hearing for financial assistance fn this matter, and if anybody in Oshawa would care to forward a subscrintion for this worthy pur- pose. they may do so direct to S. M, H. Willenegger, 567 Carlaw Avenue, Toronto; or to S.M. Ter- rett. 630 Mary street, Oshawa, (Sec'y. of the local Association), who will see that the money is for. warded to the proper source. This work amongst the Sick and Crippled Children is a great one and S.M. Willenegger is to he com- plimented on his patience and sac- rifice to duty. . A .

Next wétk is Children's Book Week in all the libraries of Can- ada and the United States, "Just what does that mean?" you say. The answer to that question is evident in all the Boys' and Girls' Libraries in the country, for lib- rarians are making a special effort to put on display every sort of book that Boys' and Girls' should read, and every sort of book in- cludes hundreds and hundreds. That is just what is going on in the Junior Library in Oshawa. In the adult Library there is to be a model book shelf for juveniles, so that not only the children may see it" but also their parents as they go in and out for their books. Parents and boye and girls mays too, obtain lists of suitable books for the children to read from any of the librarians. In the Junior Library room there are special displays of attactive books, and two story hours will be held, one on Wednesday, and one on Satur- day. Below is a list of the very best books for both boys and girls.: Anderson, Fairy Tales; Abra- ham Nights, ed by Andrew Lang; Se ----) Baker O., Shasta of the Wolves; Barrie, Peter and Wendy; Baylor, F.C., Juan and Juanita; Baynes, E.

Cut this list out gnd tack it up some place for handy reference. You will like al of them, Everybody listened with the best attention, for the address was most interesting, and the boys learned that a Bee was equipped with a set of clothes brushes. combs, 2 crow bars, 2 pairs of pincers, besides numerous pockets, a set of sky hooks and suction pads on one universal joint, and a sting which! works like a sewing ma- chipe. After his most interesting talk on the theoretical side of bee keeping, S.M. Agar turned the thoughts of the boys to the more practical side, and served out honey (made by the busy Brooklin bees) and buns. How those buns disappeared. It was a marvel, It is safe to say that last Fri- day's meeting will remain in the minds of the boys for a long time. Troop held a meeting which was of novel variety. Skipper Mr, Rigg talked to the boys about the duty of a scout and how he should live as a scout, obeying the laws which Baden Powell set forth for every scout to live up to and hon- our. He especially stressed the 10th law: "A Scout is clean in thought word and deed." He alse realized the need of impressing the boys of their duty to do at least one good turn every day. At this meeting it was also announced that a contest, between the patrols. was to be held. The close of thiss contest was set for the end of the year. The object of the competi | tion is to teach the boys the names and parts of a boat, and the com- petition is to see which patrol can build the best model yawl.
