Inspects Cadets In 'ICW: Parade
Ta most people in the Clin-
ton area, Wednesday evening,
December 11 had no particular
Significance, but to 14 young
girls ages eight teenine, it was
a memorable one. It was their
enrolment as Brownies, after
six weeks of training, which
took place each Wednesday
evening for a period of an hour
and a half.
Self-concious in their newly
,acquired uniforms, they smiled
and fidgeted nervously before
a group of shyly proud parents,
their leaders and fellow Brown-
ies of the 2nd and 3rd RCAF
Clinton Brownie Pack.
The Brownie enrolment cere-
mony is one of the most solemn
and impressive occasions in 'a
Brownie's experience. This
group was honoured to have
District Commissioner Mrs.
Florence Corrie, Clinton, her-
self a novice to such procedur-
es, conduct the ceremony.
Madam Commisioner was
-greeted by Brownies Melanie
Pullen. and Sue Ann McDonald
and escorted to a colourfully
bedecked chair - of - honour.
Brownies and their leaders
then formed the traditional
Fairy Ring, which Madam
Commissioner was asked to
join by Denise Devoux,
A reading of the Brownie
Story was given by Fluffy
Owl, Mrs. Monica Duguid, for
the benefit of, those ,pre_ sent
Who were unaware of the
meannig to the simple enrol-
ment ceremony which followed.
Brownies, during their train-
ing periods are referred to as
Tweenies. They are made to
realize during this time that
to be a Brownie they must
help others, obey the laws of
God and country, and be a
cheerful helper. This in Brow-
nie language is known as the
Brownie Promise, Law and
Motto.
She must also know the sal-
ute, sign, handshake, the mean-
ing of smile and good turn, the
Fairy Ring and Grand HoW1.
In -addition she must know how
to fold and tie her own tie,
brush and part her hair, braid
and also how to wash dishes.
It goes without saying they
put a good deal of effort into
their training period, and are
very aware of their future res-
ponsibilities.
(By Mrs. S. Middleton)
The Christmas concert pre-
sented last Monday evening by
the Sunday School of St. James
Anglican Church, - Middleton,
was a decided success with a.
good crowd present in spite of
rough weather,
The rector, the Rev. E. J. B.
Harrison, was the genial 'chair-
man for the occasion, welcom-
ing all present and paying tri-
bute: to the splendid group of
Sunday School teachers, who
work faithfully all year -and
culminate their efforts with a
splendid program.
"We rejoice to see all these
children here in shining array,"
stated Mr. Harrison. "They are
the potential of the parish for
future years,"
From the opening song,
"Away in a Manger" and the
"Welcome Recitation" by Linda
Wise, the program never drag-
ged, but gained interest and
momentum.
' The beginners and nursery
rhythm band was a novelty in-
deed with toy instruments and
gadgets, producing a reneark-
able effect.
The audience was much im-
pressed by the quality and var-
iety of this concert.
The roll call of th eprimary
beginners', nursery -was answer-
ed by a memory verse.
"Fishers of Men", an action
song by little folk, was con-
ducted by Mrs. Ed Wise.
"Christmas Bells", with each
child carrying one letter and
its song and recitation, was
very lovely indeed.
Bruce Miller gave a splen-
did reading, "The Shepherd
Boy" and his effective costume
enhanced the effect.
We particularly liked the roll
call of the junior class conduct-
ed by Mrs. Ray Wise in the
form of a Bible quiz, pupil san-
swelling each question with a
After each' new Brownie re-
peated the Promise, Madam
Commissioner placed the Brow-
nie pin on her tie, the Six em-
blem on her right breast and
gave the Brownie handshake.
Each then rejoined the Fairy
Ring where Brown Owl, Mrs.
Peggy Russell, requested the
Grand Howl be performed in
honour of IVirs. Corrie and
guests. This is the ultimate in
greetings a Brownie can give,
and is used only on very special
Bible verse as their name was
called.
A special feature of interest
was presented by Mr. Kelvin
Jervis, in the form of a movie
of "The Prodigal Son" as a
puppet show, with the rich
Eastern colour and background
of costume and scenery,
During the evening, we had
noticed the absehce of the
Christmas tree. This was sup-
plied very uniquely and effect-
ively by the juniors, dressed as
carollers with stocking caps,
etc., who came marching up the
aisle carrying a -lonely big tree,
while lustily singing "Deck the
Hall", "0 Christmas Tree," etc.
The Sunday School superin-
tendent, . Mrs. Donald Middle,
ton, then led the audience in
carol singing, so all present
participated hi this old and
new-fashioned concert.
Mr. Harrison moved a vote
of thanks to the SUnday school
teachers, Mrs. 'D. Middleton,
Mrs. Ray Wise, Mrs. Ed Wise,
Mrs. John Cole, Mrs. George
Wise, Misses Elaine and Barb-
ara Smith, to the organist, Mrs,
Joseph Storey, to Mr, Kelvin
Jervis and to the appreciative
audience.
The singing of "Jingle Bells"
heralded the arrival of Santa
Claus, who distributed presents
to all the children.
Never have we seen Santa
in such an exuberant mood,
as he greeted everyone with
witticisms and heartily blessed
all the girls and teachers' to
their confusion and the delight
of the audience.
After the recent unnerving
news events, assassinations, jets
blowing up, etc., this lovely
Christmas concert, presented
throughout with dignity a n d
reverence, made us feel that
once more our feet were en
solid ground and the eternal
verities still exist, wonderous
and unchanging.
