'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1931 Girl Guide News --- a BC The test for the Child Nurse badge takes place on Saturday af- ternoon, February 28th, Registra- tions closed this week. Honour "A Guide's honour is to be trust. ed." This is the first section of The Guide Law. Notice that it does not say---A Guide is never dishonest." It is all so positive. If there is anything that is not honourable, then there ig no Guide connected with it. The person might wear a Guide uni- form, and even a badge, but accord- ing to the Law, that person wouliu not be a real Guide. To be honest and What a fine thing. said of a person, there is always a place for them in the business world, for that is the kind of people the world is looking for. Reliable! Sometimes there is no one to see what is done: no one to know: that is no one except yourself and God. That is when the test comes. Are you to be trusted as much when the teacher is out of the room? Is your "honour to be trusted"? "A Guide's honour is to be trust- 19 trustworthy! If that can be ed From Far Away Poland has the largest number of Guides (except the United States) of any country outside of the Lire tish. Empire. She hasover 20,000 Poland is not the same geograp- hically, as she was before the war. Nor the same politically. Today she is larger, and she is an indep- ent nation, with a president of her own. Part of the Poland of today was ceded .from Russia, part from Austria and part from Germany. Today, Poland is one of the large ' countries of Europe, and is to be reckoned with. And her Guides are some of the finest in the world. The headquarters is at Warsaw, The Polish Guides are beautiful singers, and at the world camp in England a few years ago, the Polish Guide Song was so popular that it has been translated into English and now all the pow-wows can en- Joy its joyous abandon. Next year, in 1932, the Girl Guid- es come of age, that is, the organi- zation will be 21 years old, and there is to be a great camp of Guides from all over the world. Po- land has been chosen as the site for this world camp. Sea Rangers After the world war, there were a great many girls in England who had taken an active part in naval work during the war and who were still interested in things of the sea, The traditions of the British Eme pire are very closely linked with tales of the sea, and many families have gea-faring folk for many gen- erations in them. It used to be that there was no interest for such girls; it was all for the boys. But that day is over, and now any girl, who has an inter. est in things pertaining to the wat- er, can find an outlet for her ams bitions in the Sea Ranger branch of the Girl Guides. This does not mean that she spends all her time tying knots, or in a boat. It means that she be- comes a Ranger, a member of the great Girl Guide sisterhood, and she spends at least two-thirds of her time doing the same things that ordinary Rangers do. But in her "Specialized" time, it Is matters of the water that occupy her mind and her hands. Swimming, rowing, bosun's test, ambulance work, handicrafts with a nautical bias, such as splicing, netting, lanyard making are still the favorite subjects. The Decod- er's test still leads: to fascinating discussions as to what time it is in Honolulu and whether a day fis gained or skipped on the trip. Both Morse. and Semaphore signalling are learned, and the flags of all the merchant marines and all the various types of craft that may sail either the seven seas or only good old Lake Ontario. 4th Oshawa The Patrol Leaders were chosen this week, and the Guides divided up into patrols. The leaders are Mildred Stacey, Lily Weeks, Verda Taylor and Mol- Iv, The girls are talking over the matter of patrol names. They chose to all be birds, but just what bird each will be, was left until next weak. The matter of ties is of vital interest and the color will be chosen next week too. . Whether it will be one color, or a combination is still a perplexing topic. The Saxe Blue that any company may wear is still a favorite with some, while others think they would like a distinctive color that would be '""4th Oshawa" to anyone who knew, The only color that is taken is "flame," which is the color of the ties of the third company. Miss Diggs eqplained about the Woodcraft signs, and. then the P, L.'s taught them to their girls, In the games which followed it was easy to which girls had list- ened dnd learned them, These signs will be really used as soon as a hike is held, when a "trail" will be laid and a real Guide game of tracking will De played in the open. gee Games and Country Dancing were conducted by Miss Smith, and all the girls had a chance to try the dance this week. In games, a test "was given of the knowledge the Guides had of the reef knot both with their eyes open. and "blind." Some of them could tie:it better with their eyes shut! Miss Werry, the Captain, took charge of pow-wow, and the Girl Guide Hiking song was much en- joyed, even to a lock step hike around the room tn limber up. The story of the salute, and what f{t means gave the girls an idea of how friendly their greeting to. each other could be. to have some Tenderfoot curr ready, and there is still the bird chart waiting for an observant Guide. Miss Werry saw a robin last week! Who will be next? And such a lot of girls did not know a Horse Chestnut bud. What do you think of that. SECOND OSHAWA Owing to a Lenten Service being held in the Church, on Wednesday evening, it was necessary for second Company to postpone their regular meeting. ! The Company will meet to-night in Christ Anglican Church at 6.30 p.m.. All Guides who have not been notified previvusly of the change, are asked to make an effort to at- tend as we want to get going on our Handicraft Fair Work. 3rd Oshawa Even if they did have to work hard at their sewing for an hour and a half, the Guides of 3rd Osh. awa who had not finished their ties, had a good time last evening aftér school, when Miss Moyse and Miss Mundy took them up to the club rooms for supper. The girls spent the time from after school until nearly six o'clock busily sew- ing, then had delicious sandwiches and cake and milk to drink. After supper Miss Mundy led them in some games until the other mem- ng's Highway DAILY COACH SERVICE OSHAWA - FARE--85¢ Eastern standard Time LEAVE OSHAWA AM.

GEORGE The Patron Saint of England A beautiful Jewish girl once married a Christian young man. and went to live with him in the province of Cappadocia, in Asia Minor, A little son was born to them, and they called him George. Ho was brought up quite strictly in the Christian faith, When he was still a small lad his father died. To return to her own people was but natural, so young George and his mother took the long jour- ney back to her country, where he was sent to school and brought up. He proved a good scholar and showed a special aptness for being a soldier, When George: left school he joined the army. and soon was put in charge of a body of men, He was promoted several times, until while still a young man he was in command of all the emperor's troops. Now the emperor was not a Christian, but hated them and he did not know that his favorite was a Christian. So when the order was sent to George to take the army and go and wipe oue all the Christ fans, killing every one of them, he was surprised and afraid, He emperor commanded, ha would be put to death. But George was no 'coward. He wag true to his faith, and he sent word to the emperor that he could not kill the Christians, as he, him. self, was one. Now the emperor was fond of George and did not want to put him to death. So he offered him bribes of money and fame and high position if he would give up his religion, But George remained true, So the emperor had headed. Years afterwards, in England, when the Crusaders were going to fight the infidels to try and take the tomb of Christ from them, they wanted a patron saint--one who would be an example not only of manly brave soldier but algo a true and noble Christian, And they chosa George, and call- ed him St. George. And they took for their flag, a red vertical cross on a white ground, to show the red for the blood of Christ and the white for His purity, And later, that flag was called the Flag of St. George, and was the flag of England for many years. that him be- bers of the company arrived for the regular meeting. Two new girls were enrolled last night--Peggy Henry and Ethyl! Ralph. They were enthusiastically welcomod into the company, There are still about fourteen girls to be enrolled before the company is complete, Stalking was introduced for the first - time, last evening, to the Guides of 2rd Company. They seemed to find the game of creep- ing around as silently ag possibly, lots of fun and some succeeded in going quite a number of paces be- fore the one blind folded could tell in what direction they were. Stalk- ing will be very useful to the Guides when they go Into the Woods to look for and study birds, for it shows them how to move very sileatly. Patrol games included some hard questions on the legends and patrol carried off the honors for having the largest number of ques. tion correct. The Guides are habit of watching the bulletin #hoar! and the Company chart which are hung up.at the begin- ning of every meeting, forming the SEA RANGERS Skipper Ross was 'on deck" last night after her holiday last week and had some information to give the Rangers about thelr uni- form which ghe obtained when she visited Girl Guide Headquart- ers during the week, A number of the Rangers have received stars on the Sea Ranger Test Chart. Others are working to get theirs complete very soon. There was a very busy time last night when the Rangers were all occupied in making Turks' Heads for thier charts, Skipper Ross and Mrs. Ratcliffe were instructing. Signalling, dancing and singing some "Sea Shanties" composed the. latter part of last night's pro- gramme, There were fourteen Rangers present, Brownies The Brownies certainly had an interesting time Wednesday learn ing all about their own flag. Brown Owl then took some of the second class Brownies for thelr compass directions and all are an- xlous to see how successful they will be when they try their final test, Pack Leader showed the others the correct way to set a table. Any of the Brownies who want to pass some of thelr second class tests will have an opportun- ity if they come early next Wed- nesday.

Joan Townsend's Boy Scout Scout Editorial There is a story which is told, of a man who visited a large marble quarry and went around speaking to the workers. On accosting one of them, he said to him, "What are you doing here?" The man continued on with his work, hammering his chisel into the stone and between beats of his hammer he "Karning my six dollars a day." Another man, when questioned In the same fashion was not so polite, and replied "Blasting rock, what do you think I'm doing?" Still a third man was questioned, a minute and looked at his ques tioner. He had a bright, happy look in his eye, and he turned to his work and viewed it with pride. "I don't quite know what I am doing" he said after a while, "I may be building a big Cathedral, or a magnificent business building, or I may be creating the material for some noted Sculptor to make a famous statue. But whatever it is I am taking part in, I am doing my little bit to make this world a little better place to live in." The visitor left him so he back to his work punctuating hammer beats with snatches went his of happiness. We have often wondered what asked several Scouts "Why are you Scouts?" What would your answer be Would it be selfish and narrow, giving personal benefits as the only reason, or would you have the wid- er vision of the third man in the story, ond see something beyond personal gratification? Mr. 'Mack Soanes, Rover Sponsor for the Local Association hag been appointed as Oshawa's representa- 'tive on the Provincial executive of the Boy Scouts' Association. It has come to our attention that some of the Wqlf Cubs who took part in the annual entertain- ment of the 5th -and 7th Troops are very much put out because an art- icle appearing in this paper on the following day spoke of them "these young ladies."

TRAIL RANGERS THE TUXIS COLUMN TUXIS BOYS Things a Group of Boys Can Do The Dux Tuxis Square of Tim- othy Eaton Church, Toronto, re- cently completed work on the World Brotherhood badge. Work- ing for this badge makes a very interesting project, especially for this time of year when out-door activities are limited. This "Square" closed the project with a special "Peace" meeting, hav- ing as its guests a negro boy, a Japanese, a Chinese and two Am- erican boys. KEach guest gave a short talk on the topic of his own race. Harmony Trail Rangers Harmony Tra#l Rangors on Wednesday evening had an enjoy- able time planning a skating party for next Wednesday evening, when they will entertain the Harmony C.G.LT. on the school ice, (wea- ther and ice permitting). After a lively discussion, in which all took part, satisfactory conclusions were reached, and plans wero care- fully made, Cletus Dyer told an interesting story on '"A Hero of Belgium." Glen Willson read the Scripture and Raymond Goyne and the mentor led in prayer, The meeting closed with the mizpah benediction, after which the school rink occupied the attontion of the hoys for an hour. The leadership training class, now in progress in Harmony, shortens the meetings. Simcoe St. Trail Rangers The Altair and Dreadnaught Trail Rangers groups held a joint meeting on Tuesday evening at 7.30. Owing to the sickness of Dour. Henderson, Men- tor Jack Henley was in charge. The meeting opened with a short worship service and a dis- eussion period. The boys then #plit up into two groups. one tak- ing wieture framing, the other tumbling and other exercises on the mats, each group taking their turn. Pion¢er Tuxis Group The King St. Tuxis have had week, On Monday evening 10.30, the boys had a snappy hoc- key practice at tho arena, with Molly Moffatt, our mentor, as ref- gree, On Tuesday evening a few other fellows made themselves handy with a paint brush and gave the floor of our club room a coat of paint which improves the ap- pearance of the room. Wednesday evening, Mrs. Cragg's Sunday School Class dc- cideg to entertain us, We met in the banquet hall of the church which was beautifully decorated for the occasion as it was a Val- entine party, games were played and a lively sing song helped to fill in the evening. To top the party off refreshments were scrved by the ladies, and do they know how to feed a bunch of hungry boys! The party closed by Bill Er die thanking the girls on behalf of the boys for the wonderful time they had given us and hoped that we would meet again in the near future. Freda Spenser made a very fitting reply. There were about 50 present. Friday, our regular meeting night, a toboggan party was sched- uled hut the weather conditions did not favor us. Trewman Brown invited us to his home where we all went along with the girls and had a very enjoyable evening. Much appreciation is due to our host on the way that he helped us all to have a good time, There were 45 present. <° Albion Trail Rangers The Albfong had the pleasure of entertaining members of the Ced- ardale and Harmony Groups on Friday last.
