She received Ovei* eighty percent in her final Perth- Huron Division test in Stratford on Monday, January 30. Alice has been ip Guides only a little ovei* two years, and so, has set something of a record in covering the work involved in Gold Cords, in that short time. To be eligible for this honor, a Guide must earn the following badges: cook’s, needlewoman’s, laundress’ hostess’, child nurse, homemaker's, handywoman’s, nat­ uralist, hiker’s, tracker’s wood­ man’s, pioneer, world knowledge, swimmer and any other two of her own choosing. Alice has three others, (those being, gardener, camper and athlete. Alice is one of three Guides in the Company ever to earn their religion and life emblem. This is an emblem given to a Guide who has fulfilled the religious require­ ments set down by the church of her own faith. Guiding, being an undenomina­ tional movement, urges its mem­ bers to attend church, and has founded this religion and life emblem to encourage the girls to learn more of them own church and attend regularly, thus fulfil­ ling a part of the world-wide Guide-iScout promise of "Duty to God.” While the religion and life em­ blem is not a requisite for Gold Cords, a Guide having earned it, shall certainly prove herself more worthy of the highest award Guiding can give. Also necessary requirements for this award, is a thorough knowledge of the history of Guid­ ing, of attendance a.t camp and a love for .Guide camping, plus the earning of the First Class Badge. In all these tests a Guide must i YOU CAN PROVIDE YOUR OWN RETIREMENT PENSION THROUGH A CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ANNUITY earn 80% as a passing mark. Letters o f recommendation from Guide people and those who have absolutely no interest in the movement are required to insure the character and responsibility of the girl. A genuine interest in the movement is naturally re­ quired and a- continuance of ser­ vice in some branch of Guiding Is also necessary. Alice has been helping with Brownies for a year now as a “Packee” and plans to continue with Brownie work hop­ ing eventually to become a “Taw­ ny Owl” when she is eighteen. Alice, as one of Ontario’s Gold Cord Guides of the year will have the opportunity, in April, of attending the Gold Cord cer­ tificate presentation at Convoca­ tion Hall, University of Toronto, along with possibly 150 or more Gold Corders from Ontario. Alice is the third Guide of the 1st Exeter Company to attain the goal of being a Gold Cord Guide, and needless to say, the Guides and leaders are extreme­ ly proud of Alice because to Alice, Guiding is not only badges and Gold Cords, but rather, it is a “way of life.” Cub Pack Expands The Exeter Scouting is expand­ ing with leaps and bounds, this year. Under the able supervision of the new’ Group Committee and the sponsoring of the Exeter Lions, we are able to accept new youngsters into the pack. In fact so many new Cubs have joined that it was necessary to divide into two packs, with “A” pack meeting Wednesday nights and “B” .pack on Tuesday nights. ■We would like to extend an invitation to all interested per­ sons to drop’ in at the Scout (House on either of these nights to see what we are doing, and I if you wish, to give us a hand. This week we welcome six new Cubs, Don Cooper, Jerry Cooper, Doug Huntley, Ray Cockwell, Bob Rielly and Fred 'Smith into pack. 'Garry Wedlake has been pointed “Senior Sixer” of pack. John Snell has earned his First Star and a Proficiency Badge, also Will receive Proficiency Badges. Good Hunting, Cubs! 1st Exeter Cub ■ Pack Need Assistance 'Citizens of Exeter; leaders and assistants! You have a good active group, now, -with great potential. Help us build yppr group and assist us in carrying out our duties. These youngsters deserve your active interest, Don’t let them down- With two packs, and more youngsters joining every week, our situation is becoming critical. At the present we have seven Cub leaders and assistants, five of which are RiCAF personnel. Some of, these Air Force people are due to leave soon, and all of them have duties which make their attendance irregular. We need permanent town people to form a reliable, nucleus which can be depended upon from week to week. If you are interested in Scout- ing or working with young peo­ ple, and would like to dp vital work outside of your own home and job, please notify any mem­ ber of your Group Committee or one of the leaders. Don’t worry See Ballet The Exeter Rangers including Marilyn Ross, Dorothy Lynn, Dianne Kearney, Iris Tomlinson, Pat Cowden, Judy Ross, L. A. Bakker and -then* leader, Mrs. H. Hooke were in London Tues­ day week to view the National Ballet at the Grand Theatre. The girls are very grateful to Mrs. Hooke for this privilege. At their meeting on Tuesday evening in the Scout Hall they voted , to usher for the Players Guild 'at their play “No Rhyme nor Reason.” Mothers Organize Mothers of members of Exeter’s five Scouting organizations have formed an auxiliary to assist the boys and girls in their activities. Officers of the newly-formed group, which hasn’t been given an official name yet, are seeking membership from mothers of ■Scouts, 'Cubs, Rangers, Guides and Brownies. Like the Scout Group Committee, which is com­ posed of fathers, the auxiliary will give assistance to leaders of the groups in the various phases of their programs, > —Please Turn to Page 12 WU now W hom me um /MM*e*rs m m mr We are LOADED with the BEST LINE of USED TRACTORS in the PROVINCE.
