Guides Receive Honors
In Toronto Ceremony,.
the platform, one by one, as their
names were called, to receive
their Gold Cord Certificate from
Mrs. Louis Breithraupt, Honorary
President of the Ontario Council
of the Girl Guide Association.
This is oue of the most impressive
ceremonies ever to take place in
a Guide's life, and any girl who
works hard enough to earn her
Gold Cord will have the memory
Of a very precious moment to
carry with her through life.
Deseribes Northland
The address, entitled "The
Challenge of Today," was given
by the Most Reverend Robert J.
Rennison, Anglican Archbishop of
Ontario, Speaking of his own
early missionary days spent in
the Diocese of Moosonee, which
reaches from the North Pole
southward to near ICapuskasiug,
Rev. Rennison told of his exper-
iences in Canada's northland
among the Indians as well as
whites and of the understanding
that can be built among all men
regardless of colour, race or
creed, if patience, love and kind-
ness are practiced by all. Life is
what one makes of it, the Guides
were told. The discipline, fellow-
ship and skills learned as a Guide
stand you in good stead no mat-
ter what life may hold for you,
whether it be a career of adven-
ture or homemaking.
The girls were reminded what
a wonderful blessing it is to be a
Canadian anct the Archbishop told
them it was a joy beyond words
to look into the faces of so many
Girl Guides who had earned the
highest honor they could—they

Norma Keller and Rena Mur-
ray, Guides of the First Exeter
Company, accompanied by Mrs.
R. J. Keller, Mrs. E. R. Kirby and
Mr, • and Mrs. Robert Luxton,,
travelled to Toronto on Friday to
attend. the Gold Cord Certfieate
Presentation at Convocation Hall.
Norma and Rena were among
187 'Guides from all parts of the
province of Ontario attending the
ceremony in Toronto, all of them
having obtained the highest pos-
sible award in Guiding—the Gold
Cord.
.A. tour of the museum, Parlia-
ment Buildings and other places
of interest was planned for the
girls and their guests in the after-
noon followed by a banquet and
the presentation in the evening.
Welcomed by the Ontario Pro-
vincial Commissioner, Mrs. D.
Bruce Wilson, the girls were con-
gratulated on their hard work
and at times self-denial of plea-
sures, in. order that they carry
on their responsibilities and de-
termination to earn their Cords.
Commissioner Speaks
Mrs. Rankin Nesbitt, Chief
Commissioner for Canada,
brought greetings to the girls
from Guides across the Dominion,
and expressed her own hope that
these Gold Cord Guides would not
only keep on their Guiding activi-
ties in the field of leadership, but
that they find their place as use-
ful citizens in their own com-
munities.
Following these messages of
welcome the girls then ascended

Odd Bits
By B. A.
Until Tomorrow
There are those among us that
would agree that spring house-
cleaning went out with parlors
and dust -covers and six -children
families. They tbelong to two
groups. The members of one keep
homes that have no need of house-
cleaning.
Those of the other group (to
which we subscribe) are just fac-
ing up to their own knowledge of
procrastination. And there are ev-
er so many reasons why we should
put it off if we 'concentrate on
the tproblem.
For instance, now into April,
the windows don't look nearly
so muddy since we've had a show-
er or two. And who can resist the
sunny days outdoors when we can
find something to putter at in the
garden,
Then we might as well Wait tor
the spring mud to clear up before
attempting the porch and floors..
Besides, where would we ever be-
gin, it we ibegan.
And really, on the ,dull days,
when we can't work outside, the
place doesn't look in need of
housecleaning at all. Eventually,
though, spurts of energy and
guilt get the better of us. Per-
haps by fall there won't betoo
mach lett to do.
Ready
Now's the time to round up
candles and matches to put in a
place where we can find them at
a moment's notice and the child-
ren can't.
Careful!
In Kingston, the Department of
Public Works has decided to pick
up leaves raked only from the
front lawns of homes. It's going
to be tricky when someone
cheats ---and -who could resist?
No Laughs
The n•ew puppy next door found
out about the black tat one even-
ing last week. In his best hump
and tgrowl, friend cat made it
clear that life was not a matter
to he taken lightly nor rwould
there he any 'clowning on his own
doOrstep. And he cared little
that he'd sho'w'n a poor sense of
humor, lost a friend and brought
disallusionment to the youngster.
Auxiliary Raises $279.00
The Ladies' Auxiliary to South
Huron Hospital realized $279.00
from a ibenetit movie in the Lyric
Theatre last Thursday night. 'Man-
ager George Thompson 'donated
the entire proceeds of the picture
to the Auxiliary. The sale of
homemade candy amounted to
$28.35 which is included in the
proceeds.
