The crews will be tran­ sported to and from work location and will bring their own lunch. Also, the Government helps to pay their wages. For $90.00 per day, you can aquire the services of a crew and then receive a $15 rebate at the end of the program.

Particularly do we thank Brownie Jane Holden, in uniform, who stayed with the display, explaining the various badge requirements, etc. to those who attended. While the response was not what the Branch hoped for, guests were present from Kitchener, Georgetown and North Bay, the latter two couples just happened to passing through and saw the invitation to “Come on In!.
