Gus Guide Talk We didn’t seem to get down to work this week, did we girls? Of Course, what can you expect when Captain decides to inspect the Patrols for a change. I hope those PL’s haven’t been skipping over those pins and bitten finger nails lately. So we’ve decided we must have a shining-up next week. Don’t forget to bring the Brasso and we’ll give the marks to the patrol with the brightest pins. More Nature, health hpoks and safety tests were turned in but I'm afraid you girls' are getting a wee bit hasty and not quite thorough enough. Those little recruits are work ing very hard and more power to them. We must not overlook our first class Guides. They are really trying to get one of those wonderful red badges by next summer and believe me, it's lots of work. No time for a game, so a short campfire followed vespers and taps. Captain took the Good- Night Salute. —Just for the leaders, don’t forget the Court of Honor meeting, Thursday. Captain EDGEWOOD The Revere Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Tate to discuss the ques tion of farm credit. Mr, J. V. Eagan, manager of the Royal Bank, St. Marys, was guest for the evening. The .groups discussing the question thought that enough credit is available to the estab lished farmer but there is not enough for the young farmer who is just starting out. They suggested that a lower interest rate would be more in centive for the faring' to take loans. With regards to the idea of supervising a farmer who had a loan, the groups thought that some loan agencies didn’t know enough about farming to advise the farmer properly. A young farmer, it was thought would benefit from advice from a-more experienced farmer and would probable accept his advice above that of an outsider. At the close of the discussion, Mr. Mullen, the leader, thanked Mr. Eagan for being present. Mrs. Harold Westman was named convener for the next meeting to be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Mullen.
