I have had many adventures but never one as exciting as the one I'm going to tell you. I was living in a backyard with my brother. We faced one danger. It was a boy who collected ants!! One morning as we are going to the blos- som tree he came. He saw my brother and caught him. I knew I had to do something. I went as fast as I could go. I caught on to the boy's pants. I climbed up his pant leg and signalled to my brother that I would get him out somehow. The boy went to his room and put the ants in a glass cage. After that he went to lunch carrying the glass cage. After I crawled down the boy's sleeve to the table, I had to cross a big bowl to get to my brother. As I started to cross the bowl I lost my balance and fell into the bowl which was filled with soup. The boy drew me out and he put me in the cage. After he finished his lunch he put the glass cage in the garden and left it. I saw my friend Buzzy Bee. I shouted through the air holes to him and he understood. He went to the lock and pushed it out of the hole and we were free! My brother and I thanked Buzzy and made for home, and safety. Sandra Funnell, Grade IV. Fuzzy-Brown Bear There once was a fuzzy-brown bear Who went to a small country fair He caused such a muddle And no end of trouble So soon he was the only one there. Margot Brown, Grade IV.

C L.- . .LLlZ SCHIIUL ACTIVITIES 16th Brownie Pack The Brownie meeting began last September with Brown Owl, Mrs. Nelson Colville, Louise's mother, and Tawny Owl, Mrs. H. Zoltok, Karen's mother. We have 26 Brownies, who are divided into 5 Sixes or groups. The leaders of each Six are called Sixers and they are Marion Bjorklund, Dilys White, Lynn Folliott, Anita Urquhart and Karen Zoltok. In january our Brown Owl had to go away and Tawny Owl was left in full charge. Two of our Brownie mothers, Mrs. C. Urquhart and Mrs. R. Chant came to help us. In February we had a lot of fun on our Tally- ho. We had lots of thrills jumping in the deep snow and then we went back to Guide House for hot dogs, ice cream and soft drinks. Brownies is not all play, however, as we col- lected toys and clothing at Christmas for the needy children. New Brownies try to pass their skipping, ball throw and their darning so they can receive their Golden Bar. Then they try for their Golden Hand. When they receive their Golden Hand, they are first class Brownies and are now ready to work for Proficiency Badges. Some of these Badges are Skaters, Swimmers, Toymakers and Athletes. These Badges are fun to work for, Last month we sold lots of Guide Cookies and during the year, we have tried always to carry out our motto and LEND A HAND . Marion, Dilys, Lynn, Anita and Karen. 16th Guide Company The Balmoral Hall Guide Company has had a very successful year under the able leadership of our Captain, Mrs. G. H. Sellers. The Guides worked very hard all year at their test work and as a result a great many second class and proficiency badges were earned. As part of the work for their Hostess badges, four second class Guides entertained at a Guide and Brownie Christmas party on December 13th. St. Johnis Ambulance First Aid classes in which the whole company took part, provided the instruction for the First Aid badge. The 16th Company was represented at the Thinking Day Service at the Auditorium and at a Division Patrol Leaders' Conference. On April 29th the Company had a church parade at St. Luke's Church. Although it is an annual event for most church companies, a church parade was new to the Balmoral Hall Company. This year we entered the competition for the Bessborough Shield and we are placing great hopes on our entry of baby garments. We want to express our thanks to Mrs. Sellers, our Captain, for her enthusiastic uplift to our Company and to the mothers who have so gener- ously given up their time to help us. On with guiding!
