There is much to learn The Road to Adjustment In 1909, a group of determined girls almost broke up a Boy Scout Rally in London' Crystal Palace by appearing ii strange adaptations of their brothers' Scout uniforms, anc insisting on being allowed tc join the game of Scouting. Lord (then Sir) Robert Baden-Powell, being an understanding man, worked out a plan f similar organization, suitably adapted for girls, and thus the Girl Guide Movement was born. Within a year, it had taken vig-is root in Britain and spread Canada, Australia, South Africa and Finland. Canada's first company the 1st St. Catharines Company Ontario, registered with the parent association in England January, 1910. This year, with more than 175,000 Brown-Girl Guides and Rangers, and 25,000 leaders, Guiding in Canada is marking its Golden Jubilee -- 50 years, of training rou.ig c-mtj^ r t- ^^^rA ; Tiealthy, happy and ulSfflP^HW^*' zenship. What do Guides and Brownies do besides lining official routes, looking trim and neat in their blue or brown uniforms? When girl joins, she promises "to do her best". She learns to follow the four Signposts of Girl Guiding: Intelligence, Handi-•aft, Health and Service, for all-round development of her personality. She learns to follow the wishes of the majority, to do her share of the work, to The CBC-TV four-part series, "The Road to Adjustment" is designed to be of particular terest to Canada's farmers and fishermen. Programs will examthe problems of the small er who is tied to older methods which no longer cope with to-day's demands ("T he Old Road"); the farmer who, realizing he must change, has adapted his farm to handle grassland crops and feeder cattlein order that he can supplement his income by doing other work ("Detour"); and the farmer who has mechanized his operation and runs it as a big business ("Throughway"). The final show deals with the case of Canada's Maritime fishermen and the hardships they now face. This CBC-TV series runs for four weeks, beginning Wednesday, March 2. A*,-' (accept guidance from her lead-<F'#) I ers. Through a carefully-developed series of tests, she learns ithe elements of homemaking, | and of how to enjoy life out-i doors. From the moment she be-! comes a member, she learns the j importance of good health, by following accepted health rules ! and studying nutrition and ! child care. She may w i n proficiency badges by developing hobbies, interests which may lead to a chosen career. She learns to appreciate the simple things of life, acquires a love of nature, and undergoes an all-round spiritual development impossible to attain among the artificial amusements o f to-day. Through contacts with other girls of her own age from other parts of Canada and the world, she makes new friends and learns tolerance and understanding of other cultures. This spring, from coast to coast, a "River of Gold" will bloom in the form of thousands of golden tulips, planted by Guides and Brownies as a Jubilee "Thank You" gesture to their communities. Special Jubilee Camps are being planned during the summer, each attended by girls from every province i n Canada. Every Brownie Pack and Guide and Ranger Company will observe birthday celebrations, with birthday cakes and pageantry. Canadian girls -- and their parents -- are indeed fortunate to have shared Guiding during the past 50 years with other girls around the world, now numbering four-and-a-half millions. As yet another generation of 8-year-olds solemnly promise "to do my best", we are proud to wish Girl Guiding in Canada a "Happy Birthday", to wish them many, many more, and to say, as their late, great Founder and Chief would have said, "Well done, Guides!"

TREAT FARM TRACTOR WITH CARE The farm tractor does the work of men and horses but it is sometimes a killer. There is an annual toll among farmers whose tractors overturn and otherwise cause death or injury to the men or children driving them. Children are sometimes victims since they often are given rides on the machine and on farms many precocious youngsters are allowed to operate the tractor long before they are of an age to qualify for a car driver's li-For safety's sake, children should never be allowed to ride or drive these working machines.
