Guide and Scout News Tr The Port Perry Girl Guides and Boy Scouts have 'resumed activity for an- other season. We are very pleased. to report the lower level of 'the new build- ing ready for use asa meeting place. However the upper level still needs a good deal of work on it to finish it off for use, The reason is that we have all but used the monies' entrusted to us for this purpose. We are about $3400.00 short of the amount required to finish the new.addition. This financial pro- blem presents a challenge to the Group Committee and provides additional purpose in planning the new season. We have been very fortunate in be- ing offered considerable assistance in the construction of this extension. Our labour, has all been of an exceedingly high calibre. A lot of the work done has been contributed either in time or materials or both. The concrete floor with the exception of materials and machine rental was entirely voluntary. The leaders have also assisted greatly by budgeting all their requirements out of their own dues, To all those who have assisted in any portion we give our sincere thanks Boy Scout Apple Day is this Satur- day, Octobei@2bth. The monies- de- rived therefrom+are used for the local furtherance of Scouting and its allied interests. We are depending on your support and hope that you will find pleasure in contributing to the success of this effort. In this way we help the children to help themselves. Buy an apple.
