FROM A ROU ND HOME POLICE c_________________REPORT by Roy Forrester (continued from page 2) Leave It To The Kids! Plcking up theSaturday Toronto Star for sorne unknown reason we read through an article titled "Klds drive own back-to- school retail surge". Apparentlyparents are out of loop on choice of brandnaines for their kids who are becomrng fashion slaves to the labels of Tommy' Hilfiger, Ralph, Lauren and Nike. Finding out what's hip is a snap - just look around. So the guys have it - loose clothing this year. Many parents are leaving the decisions up to the kids and they can outfit themselves wlth 'what ever' aIl on a fixed budget and no more. 1 t i s stated however that, the kids are waitlng until school is in session for a week or two just to see what is the 'in' for school dress this year. Turning over a few pages further we corne to a group of 12 kids in Uine and find the trend for boys to be sloppy with shirts down to the knees;, baggy baggy pants, and shorts well below the knee. You may wonder what this ail leads to. It goes back to a recent golf outing with Bunting, Carman, Staples and Forrester at the Pebble- stone course in Courtice. We play ni 'ne holes, neyer declaring a winner nor neyer knowing scores. This brings us back to the club house at- about noon in Urne for lunch of a sandwich, muffin and a beverage. It's a time to relax and peo ple watch, those driving off and those cornpleting their game on the ninth. Along carne-a grandfather with we suspect two grandsons. Just finished their nîne holes of golf. 1I'm sure the four of us could not keep our eyes off the two kids. They were immaculate, dressed alike with shorts well midway down the caif of their legs and the crouch down to their knees. They were two peas in a pod and no doubt conscious of our presence as we were of theirs., I just had to thumb through the Sears catalogue - "super baggy fits" - oversized slouch, wide legs. The two kids were as interesting as the forty foo t putt by Bill Carman. It made for a good feeling-for our future generation- grandpa and all. Talking about fashion (rends - what about those new hats for the O.P.P. Sharinga Heaithier h~ Future%% was rear ended by a I 7-year- old Hastings youth. Both dri- vers 'were ,bî,ought to Memorial Hospital- for treat- ment of minor injuries. Vehicles sustained $3,O0 damage. The Hastings youth was charged with carel-ess driving. The accident occurre d on Mill St. Newcastle. Aug. 30 - An 81-yea r-old Leskard Rd. resident Iost con- trol of his car due to a med- ical condition. The car hit a parked truck on Leskard Rd. There was no damage to the truck, but the car sustained $7,000 damage. Aug. 31 - Anl elderly womian was awakened this nighit by a person walking by her, bed- room window carrying a flashlight. When the person entered the woman's home through a basement wîndow she screamed and scared the suspect off empty handed. The elderly woman is 92 years old and lives- in Newcastle. She didn't called police titi 9 in the morning. Serices and Repairs To Ali Makes Of Vehîc!es Used Auto Parts ê Complete Auto Body Service'1 Used and New Tires Service Cals Here it is September again. Back to school time and you are probably considering all the possibilities for extra-cur- ricular activities. If you have a daughter you may have con- sidered Girl Guides but were not sure what the organiza- tion was aIl about. Everyone recognizes our girls in blue and think of us in the out- doors, camping and hiÉking or selling cookies but Girl Guides of Canada- Guides du Canada has made a lot of changes to our programs 50 they are appropriate to our changing Urnes and suitable for ail girls regardless of race, religion or physical ability. Girl Guides of Canada was established in 1910, and has growri to over 270,000 rnem- bers, mun cornpletely by vol- unteers.

There are over 10 million members world wide, rnaking us the largeSt ail feMale orga- nization in the world. In Canada a girl can become a Spark at age 5. At age 7 she becornes a Brownie, a Guide at age 9 and a Pathfinder at age 12. Atter Pathfinders a girl can chose between, Cadets, Rangers or Junior Leaders. At age 18 we hope she will take ahl her knowledge and ýexperience and become an aduit leader. A girl can join at any age and many girls are encouraged to join by their friends who are having such a wonderful Urne. Authorized Sales & Service Centre for: The aima of Girl Guides of Canada' is to help girls and young women becorne responsible citizens, able to giveleadershiÉp and service - to the community, whether local, national or global., "We believe Guiding is uniquely suited to the needs and aspirations of girls and young women today. t inspires an ethic of co-opera- tion while encouraging lead- ership potential, it fosters in girls a sense of self esteem and pride in their own gender and equips thern to function as persons in their own right lu these complex competitive limes", excerpt frorn Policy, Orgartzation and Rules. There are too many high- lights and memorable moments in one year to men- tion here but one of our favourite sayings is "if it's not fun, it's not Guiding." 0f course ail of this cannot pos- sibly happen without our extremely valuable aduit leaders and we do need new leaders this year.
