» a ag 4 is eae AY Happy Birthday' For Girl Guides In 1909, a group of determined 'girls almost broke up a Boy Scout Rally in London's Crystal Palace 'by appearing in strange adaptions of their brothers' Scout uniforms, and insisting on being allowed to join the game of Scouting. Gerd (then Sir) Robert Baden- owell, being an understanding man, worked out a plan for a similar organization, suitably ad- -apted for girls, and thus the Girl Guide Movement was born. Within a year, it had taken vigorous root in Britain and spread to Canada, Australia, South Africa and Fin- land. Canada's @&irst company was the 1st St. Catharines Company in On- tario, registered with the parent association in England in Janu- ary, 1910. This year, with more than 175,000 Brownies, Girl Guides and Rangers, and 25,000 leaders, Guiding in Canada is marking its Golden Jubilee -- 50 years of train- ing young Canadian girls for healthy, happy and useful citizen- ship. What do Guides and Brownies do desides lining official routes, look- ing trim and neat in their blue or brown uniforms? When a girl joins she promises "'to do her best". She earns to follow the four Signposts of ir' ~-Gwidiag: Intelligence, Handicraft, Health and Service, for all-round development of her personality. She learns to follow the wishes of the majority, to Yo her share of the work, to accept guidance from her leaders, Through a carefully - developed series of tests, she learns the ele- ments of homemaking, and of how to enjoy life outdoors. From the moment she becomes a member, she learns the importance of good health, by following accepted health rules and.studying nutrition and child care. She may win proficiency badges by developing hobbies, interests ~which may lead to a chosen car- Ske ns 4o- appreciate the love of nature, and undergoes an all-round spiritual development im- possible to attain among the artifi- cial amusements of 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 cul- tures. 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 communi- ties. Special Jubilee Camps are being planned during the summer, each attended by girls from every province in Canada. Every Brow- nie Pack and Guide and Ranger Company will observe birthday celebrations, with birthday cakes and pageantry. Canadian girls -- and their par- ents -- 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 eight-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!"' ~ Roof Collapses The roof of the South Tem- iskaming Curling rink collaps- ed Wednesday afternoon under a load of snow, and women curlers escaped injury because © they heeded an early warning. Busy with their afternoon games, the women moved off the ice when they heard omin- ous noises overhead. They call- ed the town engineer, but be- fore he arrived the roof had simple things of life, acquires a%j--fallen in. My boy is as smart as a whip! Yes sir,a regular chip off the old block. Why, already he's saving his money so he can go to.college. That's right. Yes sir, achip off the old block. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets to be a big star on the football team. He's just like the old man. Now, boy, tell 'em where you're saving your money. Speak up, boy! (c THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA, naturally! Cy Orillia Haileybury, Ont.

All Cubs and Scouts are regis- tered -with the provincial account- ant and registration fees this year were $56.00 The group quota usu- ally runs to $100.00 and for this sum the boys are insured at any time they take part in Scouting activities. j The payment of these sums is the responsibility of the group committee. The total budget last year came to $575.00. Various me- thods are used to raise this money. Letters are sent out to people in the community who reply with contributions. The Recreation com- mittee usually makes a donation to the funds and the boys them- selves hold an annual Apple Day with which you are all quite famil- iar. We are also hoping to have a bottle drive.

Mr. Tyson concluded by saying that in Haileybury we are fortun- ate in having good leaders for the Cubs and Scouts. ~ Mr. John Rundle and Mr. George Ninacs then spoke to Home 'and School members on the work of their Cub pack*and Scout troop respectively, both stressing that Cubbing and Scouting aims to mold a boy's character and to build a better citizen. In the question period that fol- lowed it was established that to be a Cub, a boy must have passed his eighth birthday. At twelve he goes on to become a Scout.
