During the Easter term, Miss Paulson kindly taught second and first class First Aid, passing many of the Guides. We are also grateful to Mrs. Crozier, who came to teach us Morse on our newly bought buzzer. VVe are very much interested in this method of signalling and hope that some of us will be able to pass our Sig- nallers' Badge. One of our chief projects this year was compiling a Friendship Book, containing pictures of Canadian life Cindustries, trans- portation, sports, fashions, .birds, animals, stamps, pictures of our company, and Hags of the many nations from which Canadians comeb, to be sent with others from com- panies throughout Manitoba to countries of liberated Europe. These books were judged for the Bessborough Shield and we were pleased to hear that we had received an honourable mention. Ann Gostling, Margaret Killick, Mary Lou Sime, and Doris Twidale attended Guide Camp last summer, the first three at Ponemah, Lake Winnipeg, and the latter at Pike Lake, Sask. The camp was grand fun and even better than our anticipation. To make up for peeling masses of pota- toes, consuming rice and gaisin pudding once a week, and swatting mosquitoes, there were games, sport and stunt nights, swimming, campfires apple-pie beds, and midnight feasts. This year a good deal of badge work has been done, Jane Wallace and Ann Drew have passed their second class, and several Guides have almost completed the Work for their first class badge' and have earned the following proficiency badges during the year and at Guide camp: Athlete, Artist, Child Nurse, Cook, Homemaker, Hostess, Knitter, Laundress, Needlewoman, Pioneer, and Swimmer. All in all, we have had a very success- ful year, and we would particularly like to thank our captain, Mrs. Gostling, who has given us so much encouragement in our work and arranged such an interesting year for us. ANN GOSTLING. MARGARET KILLICK. BROWNIEIS Brownies, Brownies, we are called the Brownies, .Merrily we trip along, as we sing our Brownie song. N November an enrolment and fly-up was held. Mrs. 'Girling, D.C., visited the pack and enrolled Helen Gregg, Elizabeth Nairnsey and Katherine Vlassie. Golden Hands were presented to Johanne Wintemute and Ruth Simonds. The visi- tors and parents played Hey, Little Lassie and Skip To My Lou with great aban- donment, which clearly showed they could catch the Brownie magic of the afternoon. In December the Brownies attended the District Tea which was put on by the local association for the benefit of provid- ing uniforms for underprivileged Guides. Shortly after this, Mrs. Oliver found it impossible to continue with the pack, and since then it has been greatly handicapped. It has been impossible to find a new per- manent Brown Owl. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Girling have done their best to keep things skipping along. Mrs. Purdie offered to train the Golden Bar Brownies, and Delphine Davey, Eliza- beth Gill, Isobel Jones, Glen Murray and Katherine Young are hoping under her inspiration to earn their Golden Hand and Wings in June. Last week two Cadets came to our aid. Marion Swan, Brown Owl of the First Presbyterian pack, and Evelyn Murray, a former Rupertsland girl, and they have taken over as Brown Owl and Tawny Owl until the end of the year. We are hoping that by next term a Brown Owl will have been found. To do good turns is sometimes very hard, And so we we have to be upon our guard, To do our best in everything, As well as form our Fairy Ring. A DISTRICT COMMISSIONER
