[\ |® "We formed Patrols and they chose to be Kingfishers and Robins. One leader had been a Guide before and the acting leader of the other Patrol had been a Brownie. They were to choose their own seconds when they had time to get to know each other, and Princess Elizabeth was chosen by the leader of the Kingfishers. Was this for diplomatic reasons or by conviction, I asked myself, and made (I hope) tactful enquiries. ‘No.‘ said Patricia, ‘it‘s because we really want her. I think she‘ll be awfully good.‘ She was her cousin and ought to know, so I had no further seruples." And that was the beginnings of the First Buckingham Palace Company as Captain Miss V. Synge relates her book "Royal Guides." More next week! ‘ELIZABETH THE GUIDE‘ ‘"Then the grand moment came. The glass doors onto the terâ€" race were flung open by scarletâ€"coated footman, and down the steps came the recruitsâ€"fourteen little girls, cousins or friends, all dressed in their best, hairs beautifully curled and white gloves comâ€" pleting the bright array: whilst skirmishing on the sidelines were the nursemaids, mademoiselles and frauleins. Did ever a company have such a band of recruits? Princess Elizabeth lying on her tummy in the summerâ€"house, said in scornful tones: ‘They won‘t be able to roll about and get dirty!‘ Crawfie at this point murmured ‘Go on Lillibet, and say howâ€"doâ€"youâ€"do,‘ and the Princess at once went forward and greeted her friends with that charm and natural ease which was a neverâ€"ending source of wonder to me." "There was a flurry of handshaking and curtsying on the part of the recruits and yet more from the nursemaids, who then withâ€" drew, leaving me confronted by the expectant children ready to be transformed to Guides. Memories of the last frenzied instrucâ€" tions of the mademoiselles, fear of spoiling their best dresses, and the awe of the royal surroundings all combined to subdue the naturâ€" al instincts of the children. Not only, therefore, did 1 have my own shyness to overcome, but, if the Princesses were to have a real Guide Company, with all the fun and adventure that it entails, I had to breakk down the shyness of these children as well as introâ€" duce them to wild escapades. MAPLE SUGAR IN JULY! Yes, that‘s the latest word from Vermont, the site of the Girl Scout Roundâ€"Up. The city of Montpelier will operate a real Verâ€" mont sugar house at the "Village Green," in the centre of the camp. During the twoâ€"week camp, sugarâ€"onâ€"theâ€"snow parties will be held three times a week. On the other days, free samples of maple sugar candy will be distributed to visitors. Each day twelve girls will man the sugar house. Montpelier residents are contributing syrup for the sugarâ€"onâ€"theâ€"snow parties but sugar and water will be used for demonstrating the making of the syrup. Seems that these Girl Scouts can arrange most everything but after all who ever heard of sap running in July? The snow is a problem, too. Refrigâ€" eration miracles no doubt. See you next week.

Expand Canada‘s foreign trade with Britain, the United States European Common Market. ] The ‘new 749 central office will serve customers in the southern portion of the Woodbridge exâ€" change. ® |__Mr. Sloski pointed out that this { change had been made because | of the tremendous growth in the area which required the installa | tion _ of additional â€" switching | equipment. . Monthly telephone service rates and the present tollâ€" free calling arrangements for those Woodbridge customers reâ€" ceiving service from this new building will remain unchanged.. He said the equipment had been designed in this way so that switching facilities common to all customers would not be tied up if someone accidentally left his receiver off the set. Also, he added, when dialing to other exchanges in the local callâ€" ing area the customer might find a noticeable‘ pause from the time he finishes dialing until the call ed paryt‘s telephone rings. This is caused by the transition from one dial switching system to anâ€" other. When the receiver is lifted to dial a call, dialing should begin as soon as the dial tone is heard. Dial tone ceases after a wait of more than a few seconds. Mr. Sloski emphasized the point that the switching equipment in the new building is quite differâ€" ent from that used in earlier types of dial exchanges. For exâ€" ample, there is no "click" in the receiver as the dial spins back to its normal position. | X | 18
