Gayle Keyes, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Stuart Keyes, Oril- lia, (formerly of Stanley Town- Ship), was one of 24 Canadian Girl Guides chosen to attend the Swedish Girl Guide Camp in Swe- den. this summer. Mrs, Keyes is a granddaughter of the late Mors, Nelson Keyes, F.:grtiondville, In the following article she tells about the Scandinavian Tour. Seandina,vian Tour Excitement, not fear, brought butterflies to our stomachs as we saw the skyline of New York slowly fade into the misty dis- tance. The day we had spent in this amazing city had been pack- ed with sightseeing, The visit to the Empire State Building, Rocke- feller Centre, the U.N. and the Girl Scout Headquarters was to supply interesting and varied con- servation for the 10-day boat trip ahead. We allocated little time on board for sleep. The main activity was preparing a program which we could put on when we arrived at the International Camp in Swe- den. The boat trip ended hs we once more set foot on dry land at Copenhagen in Denmark. Here, Danish Girl Guides acted as our hostesses and showed us the main sights of the city. These included the Rosenberg Castle, Fredericks- borg Castle, Trivoli, The Little Mermaid, the King's Residence, and many others too numerous to mention, The cleanliness and beauty of Copenhagen's parks impressed us most. Whole blocks are given en- tirely over to nature. Paths wan- der among rock gardens, between quiet green trees, beside peaceful blue ponds, and up and around colorful flower-covered terrain. Thus we also acclaimed this city "Wonderful Copenhagen" as the song has done. We were fortunate to have a chartered bus at our disposal to tour Denmark This trip through historical Denmark was called "The Fairytale Tour". Well nam- ed it was, for we not only saw beautiful cathedrals and castles, but also the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. From Denmark we took a ferry across the waters to Gothenborg, in Sweden. There we were enter- tained in a Swedish home and shown 'the sights of the city by two Swedish Guides. Sightseeing included a ride in a large flat- bottomed boat on some of their many canals. After these enjoyable days in Gothenborg we went by bus through the settle landscape of Sweden and Norway to Oslo. For four days in Oslo we saw such sights as the ski jump, the Viking Ships, Fram, Town Hall, the Ron Career Opportunities In The Royal Canadian Navy The Royal Canadian Navy has some of the finest and most mod- ern ships in the world.

A. Mackay. Once more our eyes became ac- customed to the beauty of the Norwegian and Swedish landscap- es as our bus Wok us to Stock- holm, where we spent four days of walking and riding through this ancient city of the north, Of course, since Stockholm is noted as the Venice of the North, we spent one afternoon in an open boat seeing the sites which the city had to offer. A visit to the architectural wonder of the world, the Stockholm Town Hall, and VallinbY, the completely modern subdivision, built by the Swedish Government, were two of the main interest points during our stay. Then by train from Stockholm to our main destination, Camp Vastgota,rean. A few minutes af- ter arriving in camp we became aware of the international feel- ing, as in the opening ceremonies the flags of each country attend- ing the camp were marched onto the field. During our ten-day stay at camp we slept in tents, ate OK( own cooking, sang beneath the sun and stars, and made many lasting friendships with girls from every country. In each group were placed four foreign girls with 26 Swedish Guides'. There were three groups in each village, and 29 villages in the whole camp. Our days were filled with many international meetings where we not only learned about Sweden in every aspect, but also felt a new closeness to the world of-:a peace- ful tomorrow, For if the youth of today can live in peace, it gives a promise of a peaceful tomorrow. English, Greek, German and Can- adian girls sat side by side and walked step by step with no feel- ing of ill will, just the eagerness of youth to be friends. Another highlight of our trip was our stay in a Swedish home. Each Canadian girl was invited by a family to live as a member of that family for five days, and thus learn without prejudice about the Swedish people. Our trip home was again a 10- day boat ride. This was spent peacefully and in pensive mood, and vowing for better understand- ing among people, even if this was only found in our own family homes, „for as many a wise man has said, "Peace at home makes for peace abroad". 0 Huron County Farming (D.
