Mcl Iroy — 519 - 238-2818 RR 2, Grand Bend Served Guides for 15 years 0 The Exeter Ranger group will be losing a very active leader when. Mrs. Robert (Bobbie) Luxton moves from Exeter to Lion's Head, later this summer. Mrs, Luxton has been involved in all phases of leadership and organization in the Brownies, Girl Guides and more recently, Rangers, in Exeter for almost 15 years. Even earlier, she began her involvement with the groups when she was a Brownie and Guide herself, in Windsor. Then • in 1946, her family moved to Exeter, and she joined the Guide group here, At that time, girls stayed in the Guides until 18, and began Rangers after that, Now Guides end at age 14, and the Rangers are for girls 14 to 18 years of age. While she was still in high school here, it bothered her that although there was a Guide company, there were no Brownies, So she and a friend, Mrs. Lillian Anderson, began Exeter's first Brownie pack in • 1947, Shortly after that, her family moved to St. Thomas, so she finished her term as a Girl Guide, and took up full-time leadership of the Guides there, After moving back to Exeter in 1950, she began to work with guides here, and continued her work with them until March 1959. "It was much more difficult to become involved then," she said, "because the number of training schools was limited, and we often had to travel quite a distance for the training sessions." Mrs. Luxton gave up her work after her daughter Joanne was born, but resumed it again when she became District Com- missioner for Exeter and Huron Park almost five years ago, The Ranger group had become inactive here, however, so she decided to start it going again, and has been their leader since September 1969. "It is more challenging to work with the teenage group, and to keep them interested," she said. These girls plan all their own programs and service projects, trying something new if they fail, and something more difficult if they succeed at a particular project. "This is how the girls grow in character through their MARRIED RECENTLY — Christine Jessie Cameron, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Cameron, and Barry H. Morlock, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Morlock, Crediton were united in marriage at Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, June 3, 1972. The couple were attended by Joan Cameron, and Jim Morlock. After a wedding trip to the Muskokas, the bride and groom will reside in London. photo by Jervis THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL.

Although the Rangers are the most challenging group to lead, Mrs. Luxton believes that the Girl Guides are the most difficult, They are just beginning to form their own ideas and organize, their own activities, she ex- plained, but in that age group, "one day they are little girls, and the next, they are young ladies," Nevertheless, Mrs. Luxton thoroughly enjoys her work with all ages. "I'm in favor of all youth groups," she said, "but the Brownies, Guides and Rangers seem to have a moral aspect which is emphasized more than in some other groups. A girl pledges her duty to God, in her own faith, and I think this is very im- portant," She explained that camping also plays a very big part in guiding. "The true guiding spirit really begins here," she said. The girls have to share the duties, and just generally learn how to fend for themselves, under any con- dition, But the program provides adequately for those girls who are not so inclined to the out- doors. One of the top awards a guide can win is the "Gold Cord." In order to achieve this honor, a girl had to follow a fairly specific program, and the kinds of badges required didn't leave a lot of lee- way for individualism. Now, however, the Gold Cord is being replaced by the "Canada Cord." Although there are just as many worthwhile emblems and badges required for this course, they are less stringent, and give the girls more freedom to choose the areas in which they are most in- terested. Mrs. Luxton believes it is unfortunate that there is so little publicity given to the work of the three divisions. "Many people think of us only as do-gooders in blue uniforms," she said. "We often feel we're not getting across to people." But the rewards of the work Mrs. Luxton has been doing far outweigh any drawbacks. She has seen her own daughters grow through Brownies and Guides, and last year her daughter Joanne was one of five girls chosen from Ontario to attend a national camp-out in Saskat- chewan. Last Thursday evening Joanne also received her "All Round Cord," for her guiding achievements. And Mrs. Luxton has seen former members of her company assume leadership roles. Last September for example, there was no company of Guides in Exeter, for the first time in 25 years, because of lack of leaders. In January, however, Mrs. Harold Chappel, one of Mrs. Luxton's former pupils, became Exeter's new Guide Captain. The value of such service, as Mrs. Lux ton has given, was evidenced at a surprise going away party, given in her honor by her Ranger company. I'I was just overwhelmed," she said. But in summarizing her work with the girls, she said, "I've always felt I got far more out of it than I ever put in." Centennial books ready for stores President Barb Hearn chaired the regular meeting of the Ladies' Legion Auxiliary June 26, with 28 members present.
