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. 0 Hold Joint Party M IOOF Rooms The OtIclfeliows and Rebekah No. 88 and 306, their wives and husbands, enjoyed a Christmas party in the IOOF hall Thurs- day night, December 12, Progressive euchre was play- ed.
