They will sport bright pink T-shirts enblazoned with the motto: I promise to share and be a friend. According to Joan Howell, chief com- missioner of Girl Guides, the purpose of the new group is to help 'five -year-olds "grow and to develop caring, responsible ways of living and thinking" "Today's child of five learns a great deal in school and through television. She is ready for the sharing and caring that a group ex- perience fosters." Sparks will take jiart in a varied pro- gram of indoor and outdoor activities such as arts and crafts, games and songs. In a telephone interview with Mrs:Mary Vair, District Commissioner of the Maitee District, this new group could be formed locally, but only if "there are women who come forward and volunteer their time to lead such a group." If there were in- terested new leaders, then the group could be formed after determining if enough five -year-olds would be interested in joining. The leaders of the already formed groups (brownies, guides, pathfmders) have enough of a work load presently and would be unable to take on any additional commitments. If you are interested in obtaining further information on what is involved in being a leader give Mrs. Vair a call at 357-3655. Leadership training is available for those interested in becoming involved.
