Groups join to honor founders of Scouting If Exeter council member Dorothy Chapman had her way; every job ap- plication form would have a place to record whether applicants had ex- ' perience as a paper carrier or been a member of the Boy Scout or Girl Guide movement: "That tells something about the person," she explained Saturday night at Exeter United Church, where Three Kirkton girls earn Duke's award Karen Atkinson, Sonya Fletcher and Laurie Hawkins, former 1st Kirkton Rangers were presented with their Gold Stage, Duke of Edinburgh Award pins, at a recent ceremony at Perth MPP Hugh Edighoffer's Strat- ford office.

William Mason Studio of Photography Exeter 233-0134 local youu, groups were marking Thinking Day and Founder's Day. This year, the Scout and Guide groups decided to have their own church service on the actual day of the celebration, rather than march to one of the local churches on the following Sunday as had been the previous custom. Mrs. Chapman was on hand to outline the reason for celebrating the events, noting that both were in honor of the founders, Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. She explained that Scouts and Guides around the world have the same promises dealing with God, Queen and country and the will- ingness to help others and obey the law. While those laws and promises were outlined by the founders some 75 years ago, they are still popular to- day, and call on young people to be honest, truthful, loyal, friendly and helpful. , She concluded by noting the organizations teach young people how to be self reliant, to plan ahead and to reach out to others. Rev. Richard Hawley also had a message for the young people, their feeders and parents•at the Saturday evening session. He- noted that Scouting and Guiding are based on Christian principles ani the young people should remind'themselves they are lovable and capable and so are others around them. Peter Snell accompanied the music portion of the program, which includ- ed songs by some of the groups and a skit on the Lord's prayer presented by the Boy Scouts. By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Rev. Peter Derrick was in charge of Holy Communion service Sunday at St. Patrick's church; Gary Jeffries was reader and Mary Kooy provided music.
