How about adding more swings and slides at the park uptown which is central, or else providing a park in the north- west end to balance things up? Sincerely, An Interested Mother. Clinton, Ontario, February 7, 1963. ED NOTE: While it is against our ,policy to print un- signed letters, we feel justified in this case because it perhaps is a point being questioned by many people. While the letter may be war- ranted we think it shows a lack of foresight on the part of the writer, as it is ridiculous to assume that the Recreation Committee can set about build- ing an extensive park and play- ground system in one year. It should be realized that a start has to be made some- where and if the committee gains support, we have no doubt but what they will continue their playground expansion and will indeed increase facilities that will be handier for all the children in town. However, money remains the deciding factor and there is little doubt in our mind that the committee would be happy to provide the facilities if the taxpayers are willing to pay for it. However, to copy a trite (but appropo) statement — "Rome wasn't built in a day"—and we think it would be much too costly to build Clinton's play- grounds in one year. But we have good reason to believe the committee has the interests of all Clintanians in mind and will continue to work towards this end on an econom- ical and reasonable basis.

Karen was, also congratulat- ed by the other Guide officials on hand and was presented with gifts by the Clinton Girl Guides and Brownies, the Local Association of Guides and Brownies and the Guide Com- mittee. In thanking the groups for their gifts, she said she had not expected to receive any. "The Gold Cord is enough for any girl to receive," she com- mented. Mrs. Parker Evans, Owen Sound, area commissioner, also congratulated Karen for her achievement and commended the local Guides and Brownies for their impressive ceremony. Mrs. Evans also paid trib- ute to the work of the leaders and the parents for contrib- uting to the success of the local groups.

The candles represented her progression through the tender- foot, second class, little house emblem, woodcraft emblem and the all-round cord. In these various classifica- tions the Gold Cord Guide must learn hand signals, recognize various birds, trees and flow- ers, have a working knowledge of first aid, be able to cook, sew and operate a home, be able to look after an infant and have an awareness of na- ture. Many Badges A list of the proficiency bad- ges earned by Karen are as follows; childhood, citizenship, first aid, music, industrial, an- imal friend, friend to the deaf, gymnasist, skating, pioneer, camper, gardner. A resume of the work en- tailed in attaining these bad- ges was given by the girls who took part in the candle lighting ceremony. The Brownies also took part in the ceremony with four lit- tle girls reading a poem en- titled, "Salute to a Gold Cord Guide".

Mrs. Proctor challenged the grade 12 CHSS student to live up to the principles of Guiding throughout her life and urged her to continue to work as a Guide leader.
