o ‘â€"â€" Â¥eur Jubilee Year is only NWalf over and how busy‘you‘ve . Béen! First the huge Nation@l Birthday Cake which was cut in uary by Chief Contimissioner Mrs. Rankine Nesbitt right mt in Poronto; then, for provincial birthday parties, smaller 8 w were taken Back to the provinces by the Provincial Comâ€" sioners attending. April and Miy were taken up with your P Cobkie Sates; and now you havé all those lovely golden to look after! We hear that there will be special Interâ€" Provintial Jubilee Camps, héld in Canada‘s provinces | this susumer to mark your Jubilee yeir as well. {. Ard all the while you have been carrying on with your ~Mhr programs . . . for instance planning "Good Turn" proâ€" * jects, like visiting an old people‘s home and with your youth wnd vigor, turning back the clock . . . entertaining them . . . \igiving of your time rather than your money, which after @ll is "Our time is never more valuable in the sight of Almighty God", she went on, "than when we are using it to help someone j else, and the fifteen hundred volunteer Guiders and Commisâ€" . sioners who are giving so willingly of théir leasure time to make Guiding available to our yotlng people cannot help but wokth much more! _ Al this and niote T léarned by talking with District Comâ€" missioner Mrs. A. Wilkins, whose long association with Guides and ‘Brownies in the Weston area made her a perféct "target" for my barrage of questions regarding your wonderful organiâ€" gation, and especially about your 50th anniversary. . â€" Mrs. Wilkins, I would say, is a typital léader. She will be forever young, for in her eyes is a youthful sparkle, a love of children and a sense of humor. These attributes, according to Littan Wilkins, are the qualifications looked for in Guiding leaders. Building, plantâ€" ing, cultivating is human nature, and it is fun to watch things develop â€" whéther one builds houses, plants gardens or cultiâ€" vates charfcter. I asked about the need for leaders and was told they are eonstantly in demand. Hundreds of Brownies and Guides have been two years on a "waiting list" in order to get into the organization simply because there is a shortage of leaders. ‘The little ones often pick their own leader . . . a favorite "big" girl . . . that nice lady in the next block who bakes such wonâ€" derful cookies, or perhaps the lady next door. Ofter it is someone with no children who wishes she had a dozen! What better way to get a dozen childrén? or over); a Brown Owl must be over 21; a Guides Captain must be over 21; f&nd a‘ Lieutenant must be over 18. A wouldâ€"be leader need not have been a Guide or Brownie to be eligible. Necessary attributes are a real interest in girls of Brownie and Guide &ge, enthusifism, imagination (able t "pretend" a bit!) frikndliress and a semse f hunfor. New feaders are on three months‘ probstion (for oBvious réasons). Leaders take a four week training course and can become a Brownie junior leader, called a Tawny Owl, (18 years of age This farâ€"reaching organization (represent'ed in 44 countries, total membership 5 million) has Special Branches. The Lone Gufde Branch is for the girl whose family lives in the northern bush, or on @ Brdi#fe farm miles from any community. She can become & part Of the MOvemeht as a Lone Guide, taking part in the progrinis by medns of the Company Lettér. The Extenâ€" sioh Br&néh is for girls Who are physically handicapped . . . Weston S#mitéritiin has Extension Brownies find Girl Guides, as do &11 childréh‘s W#&pitals and institutions for the handi¢apped all across Canada. Handicapped girls living at honte are brmght into Guiding through the Lone Guide Branch. Mrs. wWihttns goinfed out that thesé branchés, with programs which are completed withift théir owh limitations, have it many cases given handicapped Ifttle ones an incentive to overdome mental hurdles caused by their disabilities, and énfibled nfany to take their place in normal life on & basis of near equdlity. _ Mrs. Wilkiis told me that Guiding in Weston dates back 25 years. There are three G@#de companies and five Brownie packs in the town. In the North West aréa (covered by this newspaper) there are 74 Guidé companiés, 100 Bibwilie packs and 3 Land Ranger companies and 1 Air Ranger Flight. Uniforms for BroWriles a#d W@uided cost ardund $12.00, which includes dress, hat, tie, “., sdks, Briefs and pouch. Guiders‘ and Commissionérs‘ uflifofins tange from $20. to $30.

She l600ked extremely smart in the navy suit uniform and beret of the Girl Guide Executive. Miss Sylvas pointed out that the founder of the organizaâ€" tion, Lord B#@enâ€"PoWéll, wisely realized that only a happy girl is & fully heffithy one â€" a girl who will develop into a good woiman and a patriotic citizen â€" and he made the aim of the Girl Guide Movement that its members be educated to use their leisure time pleasantly and profitably. Recreation here, said she, is on a very high level but not based on recreation for play‘s sake alone. Its purpose is to encourage and strengthen the natural characteristics of the girl, who is funâ€" damentally sturdyâ€"bodied, stalwartâ€"minded and stoutâ€"hé@rted. A Guide or Brownie is a lover of fair judgment, likes to win, but knoWs how to lose. fn her games she fights hard for victory, But is every ref@idy, firmly and sincerely, to clasp the hand of a victdrious opporient. ‘The foundation of the program is a spiritual one . . . open to those of every race, color and créed who profess belief in their God and a desire to serve Him. realize this." élebrate 50 years of Guilding in Canada, moré than mters of a milidh goldéh tullps are blooiming mcross plaritéd by 6,500 Guide and Ranger conipanies and plcks, representing over 200,000 brightâ€"éyed, enthusâ€" i #o OVbH greater Welghts . . . and with Hitle ones “mmumma wonderful Movement ”,*â€"w‘icm-nmlfim Address Is No Handicap We mmflww M& 1st Octobér th our comâ€" wtunitias â€" the "River of G@old" as you call it â€" is your way of saybi ."thimmk you" to your suppoiters ahd we say thank you right Need More Leaders Aim Is To Help MWappy Jublite Yéear! ds and Mrs. Hugh Sykes of Riverstone drive, Weston, was hostess to the Richview Women‘s Institute branch last Thursday.
