The occasion was the ob- servance of Scouting week and also the dedication of a new Brownie Flag. Scouting was initiated by Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell a distinguished military officer whose career culmlooted in his heroic defence of Maieking in South Africa. He was asked to write a book for boys based on his army training manual "Aids to Scouting". After testing his theories with boys at an experimental camp on Brownsea Island off the south coast of England, he wrote "Scouting for Boys" in 1908. It was an instant success and British boys, and sub- sequently boys throughout the world responded to the ideas and programs by for- ming patrols and organizing themselves as Scouts. It soon became evident that this was vital job and B.P. (now a Lieutenant -General) was asked by King Edward VII to devote his full time to this growing . youth movement_ Scouting came to Canada in 1908 and was incorporated by Act of Parliament on June 12, 1914_ B.P. was married in 1912 and his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell is chief of the Girl Guides of the World_ B -P died in January 1941, in Kenya, Africa, at the age of 83_ Brownie Leigh Anne Taman presented the Brownie Flag to Rev. William M. Bennett for the Blessing of the flag and Brown Owl Eleanor Ritchie read the lesson from Joshua, where Joshua is ordered to cross the River Jordan_ Brownies, Tanya Grillmeyer and Melanie Van Patter, assisted by Harry Baker and Philip Du Boulay collected the offering. The Rector was assisted at the altar by Server Andrew Erickson and Miss Cindy Cluff taught the Sunday schoolers. The Rector, in his sermon addressed the young ladies attending along with their two Tawny Owls, Charlene Porter and Ruth Anne Knights and expressed his desire that they have minds of their own; not so that it gets them into trouble but enough that they have some back -bone when they enter into the world, not be as jelly -fish, but not so rigid that they become statues and are unable to hear any one elses views. He used one of the verses read by Mrs- Ritchie to stress his point, which was, "Be strong, be of good courage; be not afraid; neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord Thy God is with thee wither soever thou goest." In the immortal words of Baden-Powell; Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die you can die happy in the feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best". "Be Prepared" in this way: to live happy and to die happy; stick to your Promise.. always.. even after you have ceased to be a young person...and God help you to do it.."

The March scripture Selling Your House.... CAN YOU OVERCOME OBJECTIONS? When you meet with a prospective buyer on your own, without the old of a real estate professional. you'll find you have to cope with many objections from the prospect. Some of the objections to your house are real; others may be designed purely to get you to lower your price. A prospect probably will claim that the price is too high (a natural part of bargaining). Con you back up your price ex- pectations with any sort of documentation? A prospect may claim that your older house (whatever its age) will need more maintenance than the other house he looked at across town. Can you explain how all houses need malntenante of some sort, and can you point out specifically what you have or have not done? A prospect may voice doubts about the kitchen appliances, plumbing, wiring. and a doxen other things. It's Important to be prepared with answers based on fact and actual knowledge of construction.

Baptist church news By Sandra Talbot Pastor Bodenham, guest speaker for morning and evening services took his morning message from Hebrews Chapter 11 (VS 1- 16). "Now faith is the sub- stance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The evening message was taken from I Timothy Chapter 6 (VS 7) "For we oro.iaht nnthinp into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." The Bible has something to say about nothing. If you accept Jesus as your own personal Saviour you will not end up with nothing, but you will have something. Your Salvation! The closing hymn was "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine." enjoyed Mabel Wallace's childhood memories' of Bayfield. It brought back to her memories of her younger days. Mrs. Ran Fields was with her mother when Ethel was ushered into this world. Then came the following letter from Albert Livermore with a Christmas edition of Ideals": "Dear Lucy: "My sister Maple Howes sent me a copy of your column from the Clinton paper, I was so glad to see that you are able to get your little piece in the paper sometimes, if not every week. "I do not get the paper regularly now that I have lost Ruth, in fact I seldom get to Clinton, but the sight of your column reminded me of you in the days when we used to look forward to reading it every week. "A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but I don't forget old friends, so I was shopping today and I saw this book and thought you would like reading it, so I am sending you one as my Christmas greeting. "I hope you are keeping better now and not suffering too much from that old complaint. I too am not smart on my feet since I had that stroke last February, but I am thankful it was not worse. A week from today (December 22) I will be 90 years old. "I can't write but Ruth's typewriter comes in handy, so please excuse the mistakes. "Bye now, with best wishes for the new year. Albert Livermore, Etobicoke" Carl knew the Livermore family and Lucy was in- terested in his stories of younger days. They called occasionally and Lucy heard of their travels from Mrs. Livermore and also corresponded with Maple Howes as longus she was able to write. Then carne the note from the Right Reverend William A. Townshend DD. LLD. He was the retired bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron and well known in the Clinton, Goderich Township and Bayfield areas. Mrs. Townshend was formerly Miss Kathleen Elliott, daughter of Thomas R. Elliott. Her husband was also a native, from the Lake Shore Road, South Bayfield. She attended Bayfield Public School which her husband also attended for a few years as a boy. They both graduated from the Clinton Collegiate. Miss Betty Elliott, a younger sister resides with the Townshends. ++ "Dear Lucy: "Betty Elliott,' Kathleen and I thank you very much for your Christmas greetings and for the good news that you rivere living in your home again. I know that you will be surrounded by many good friends who are interested in your well being. "We rejoice, too, Lucy, that 'Rambling with Lucy' is again appearing in the Clinton News -Record. We read it with much pleasure. The Mabel Howard Wallace story appealed to us greatly; old Mrs. Ran Fields was one of God's gentle women, we never had a better neighbour. We were glad to learn that Mabel still remembers Billie and Nellie Townshend. We had fun together. "We hope Lucy that God has many good things in store for you in 1978. God bless, preserve and keep you Lucy. Sincerely, Bill Townshend." Smile "Things are really rough," remarked one businessman to another. "This morning Opportunity knocked at my door, but by the time I pushed back the bolt, turned the two locks, unlocked the chain and shut off the burglar alarm, it was gone. 4 41.
