No matter how much we look forward to the coming of the winter with all its magic and in spite of its wonderland, by the time we've put January behind us we are about as fed up with winter, and our- selves as we ever get.

For the first time in 114 years a woman ascended the world's most exalted and stable throne. Assizes as in other law courts of the land, the Judges' marshal closed the Courts with a form of words not heard since the end of Queen Victoria's 63-year reign in 1901: "God Save tthe Queen and my Lords, the Queen's Justices." "For the first time in British history the sovereign was abroad in the empire at the moment of accession.

This discussion was led by Miss MacGregor. Instead of doing our regular pro- ject the two groups remained to- gether and discussed the respons- ibilities of a Baby Sitter. We came to the conclusion that the job was one of great responsibility and that each individual girl should straighten out with her em- ployer just what is expected of her. Baby sitting fees were dis- cussed-and it was felt that 50c. for the first three hours (thus en- abling parents to go to a.show without a great deal of expense) and 26 cents an hour after that. The girls felt that it was the re- sponsibility of the parents to say before they leave the house just exactly -what they expect of the baby sitter. For example, if they can do their homework, if they could have a friend in, if they are going to be quite late, is it per- missible for them to sleep and last but not least, if there is any re- freshment for them. After this discussion the C.G.. LT. and Explorers joined together for a sing-song which was led by Kent Gerrow. The meeting closed with the singing of Taps.

In his address the District De- puty congratulated the newly in- stalled officers on the good work they had begun in their respective districts, works that would bear rich fraternal fruit in the future. Nothing can be achieved without hard work, continued Bro.
