' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1931 PAGE FIVE Interesting News of Youthful Oshawa Girl Guide News To-morrow's Rally The outstanding event in Osh- Bwa on Saturday is the Girl Guides' big summer Rally on the grounds of Col. Phillips' residence on Centre Street. It will be a pretty picture to see the green lawns dotted with the blue-clad Guides, doing their in- tricate old country dances, and first-aid work, as well as signal- ling. games and marching. Then the Brownies will add their touch of tawny color to the pictures, and the Sea Rangers with their white. topped nautical hats add still an- pther blend. Last week, thanks to the presi- dent, Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, a practise was held on the lawns of Parkwood, and to the music of the birds, the Guides went through the program." On Thursday a full rehearsal was held on the grounds of the Commissioner, so everything is now set for full speed ahead. The honor of carrying the flags for the various companies has heen allotted to Margaret Wal- lace for 1st company, to Annie Andersen for 2nd company, to Joan Townsend for 3rd company and to Mildred Stacey for 4th company. . The program starts sharp at 3 o'clock with the grand march of all the companies with their flags, "which will be deposited at the foot of the terrace during the Ppro- program, and formally taken again for "God Save the King" at the finish. The district, ~~~ sioner, Mrs. W. E. Phiimps, will take the salute as the companies pass from the Guiders, and will receive the friendly smile of every Guide in the march. | Brownies' Singing Game Do you know the age-old story of the beautiful Princess chained to the rock, who is rescued just in time by the handsome Prince ? No--it is not the movies. It is an old classical myth, and the Brownies will enact it all to mu- Bic. All the companies will sing "0, Canada," the camp hymn, "Ged who touchest earth with beauty," "The little piggee" and the Girl Guide Hiking song. Then with a maze and a whistle the hundred Guides will wind in and out and off. It will be worth seeing and hearing, Mrs. O. S. Hobbs Is in charge of the singing. Miss Lois Mundy is directing the country dancing. The signalling squad will be led by Miss Howden, while the first 2id demonstration is under the supervision of Miss Alice Fitches. Miss Bernice Werry will take charge of the games, The Par- ade of the Badges will be mar- shalled by Miss Yvonne Hazze!- wood. The crew of the "Marco Polo" will show how the Sailors hornpipe should be done, under the direction of the skipper, Miss Elsie Ross, while the first mate, Miss Dorothy Robertson will lead ea Rangers through. the in- tricacies of the Semaphore alpha- bet. The refréshment under Mrs. R. Daniels. Mrs. James and Mrs. Copeland, has planned a dainty tea to be served after the program under the trees. 'The Brownies have the sale of ice cream, assisted hy Mrs Corbin, Mrs, Begg and Mrs Ramsden.

There was a real contest be- tween Second and Third to see which "was sending the more Guides to camp, but the ribbons go. to 2nd by a small margin, and that because the majority of their fifteen go to the hig camp. Fourteen to Niagara and one to Clear Lake for 2nd., and six to Niagara and nine to Clear Lake from 3rd. ' . vatulations, Guides! In a recent province-wide con- test for finding wild flowers, which was announced over the radio by 'Magistrate Jones of Toronto, three Oshawa Guides won the prizes. Annie Anderson and Yvonne Yourth tied for first place, and were presented with autographed corjes of Magi- strate Jones' beautiful "Wild Flowers", well bound in cloth. Maisie Yourth, who.came second received from this lover of flow- ers and children, a copy of a book on mushrooms. All «the girls belong to 2nd. Oshawa company.

If you are going away for your vacation, don't for- get to return any hooks you may now have out to the library, before you go. And of course, you'll want some books to take along with you for those days when it's just too warm to play--days when a shady tree and a good book are the only things that make you for- get how warm it is. Then for he boys and girls who are spending their vacation in Oshawa, the library is open every day and there are just rows and rows of good stories waiting for you in this big cool room. ~~ HE WAS "HIGH HAT" A small boy was sitting rather close to a fussy woman in a crowded car and he kept sniffing in a most annoying way. ; Finally she asked: "Boy, have you a handkerchief ?" A The small boy logked at her for a few seconds, and then in a digni- fied manner replied: "Yes, I have; but I don't lend it to strangers."

June 12, 1931.--At the last meeting of the Marshall Saunders Bird Club, the members presented the Librarian with an engraving of - Reynolds' painting, "Don't Fly." The Mail and Empire for Fri- day, June 5th, contained the fol- lowing advertisement: "LIBRA- RIAN WANTED: For East York Collegiate and Commercial School; one whg has had school library experience preferred. The Librarian will be required t, con- duct library science classes in all forms." One by one, the large schools of Ontario are appointing full-time librarians to take care of a work which has been greatly neglected in the past. / A "dummy" of THE OCAVITE is on display in the Library. Jack Lécky, a former student, now at Central Collegiate, Lon- don, writes of their library: "We have a splendid Library here at Central. To me a collegiate would be a novelty without a li- brary. There is so mueh centred in the library. It is a marvellous place to study. In the library here at Central there are a great many cups and shields and pen- nants w~= ° Last students of the wwuwvl, all of which tend to lend a most interesting atmosphere to the whole set-up. It has become the centre of nearly all the school activities, for the societies all meet here, debates are held in the big room; in fact, almost every- thing is planned there." "Open-access'" has now been re_ stricted to the books in the Cir- culating Department. Reference books must be asked for at the Reference Desk. Call slips and advance reference request. slips are provided. The tables former- ly in the Reference Alcove have been placed in the Main Reading Room. They have been put end to end and make an admirable ar- rangement for meetings of the Li- brary Council and the Clubs which meet in the Library on Fridays.

Son Mother Nature, always That which seems impossible is always hird to beligye, yet the seeming impossible often proves to he possible, to the confusion of the one who refuses to helieve, Farmer Brown's Boy found this out in rather a startling way. The Horned Lizards, which are com- | monly called Horned Toads, had interested him a great deal be- cause they were such odd little fel- lows, and for the most part good ratured. He had caught sereval of them when first he came to the desert, and had them for pets. He had discovered that there was more than one kind. Most of them were like the one whose acquaint- ance Flip had made, but one day he caught one who was quite dif- ferent. The little horns, or points, on his head were smaller, and he was of a different color. It was the Mexican Horned Lizard, and Far- mer Brown's Boy called him Mexy. One day one of the men at the ranch noticed Former Brown's Boy playing with his pets. '"lL.ook out that one of them doesn't shoot you," said the man, "What do you mean?" inquired Farnier Brown's Boy, looking very much puzzled. The man chuckled. "Some of them carry guns in their eyes and | shoot blood," said he. Now, that was a little too much for Farmer Brown's Boy to believe and he said so. "You're trying to stuff me," said he. "When I see it. I'll believe it, Whoever heard of such a thing as any creature shooting blood from its eyes, Of By Thornton W, Burgess course, IT know I'm green out in | this country and have got a lot to learn, but you can't make swallow any such yarn as that." | The man langhed good-natured. | ly.

Mexy was feeling out of sorts, He didn't like heing handled. He wanted tn be let alene. Of course, he couldn't say so, but he did his best to show that he didn't like it. Farmer Brown's Boy didn't no- tice that Mexy was rather peeved and kept right on. playing with him. And then Farmer Brbwn's Boy was startled by a most-amaz- ing thing. It would have startled almost any one. What happened was this:« Mexy suddenly lifted his head somewhat and stiffened his neck. His eyes began to bulge out, as if they were being forced out of his | head, and a fine stream of blood | i shot out, apparently from a swel- | len eyelid, apd struck Farmer Brown's Boy. Even though he had seen this astonishing performance, he couldn't believe it until led with tiny blood spots. "My stars!" he exclaimed. "He did do it-" "Did what?" inquired the man who had warned him, coming in just in time te hear that exclama- | tion. . "Just what you said one of them might do--shot me with a stream of blood," replied Farmer Brown's Boy. "That was the queerest per- formance I ever heard of. After this I'll believe Anything. Look at Mexy now. His eyes have gone back where they belong, and he has them shut tight." Sure enough, Mexy's eyes were tightly closed, and he open them. He kept them closed for quite a while, and after he had opened them no amount of peat his queer performance. Now vou know how Farmer Bov was startled, and J guess yon will admit that you would have been startled had you been in his place. : (Coypright, gess), 1831, by T. W.
