by S. Jerome and M. Duntanorti
Guides and Scouts
As a Cub leader and
mother of a Brownie and
a Cub I feel it is time we
put a "spotlight',: on a
member of this com-
munity who .has helped
Guiding and Scouting in
Vanastra. She has given
us a taste of her talents in
three songs that our
children are learning.
Mrs. Esther Handy,
along with Mrs. Moira
Robinson, wrote a song
for our Brownies last
year. This song has since
been published ;n Beaver
What, a Guiders
magazine. Really
something to be proud of
isn't it? The Brownie
Song goes to the tune of
Let the Sunshine In, and
here are the words to the
song.
Brownie Motto
My mommy says I'm
seven and a brownie. I
should be
And I'll always lend a
hand to everyone I see,
A smile I'll wear upon my
face with each good turn I
do
For the Brownie Motto
helps me when I'm
feeling down and blue.
Choru8:
So let the Sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Brownies never lose
Brownies always win
So let the Sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Always lend a hand
And let the Sunshine in.
And when I reach. the age
of ten
I'll leave my brownie ring
To search for new ad-
ventures
And new songs I'll learn
to sing
But one will always stay
with me no matter where
I go
For, it is my Brownie ...
Motto
And it helps me as I grow.
The Scouts have their
• song and the boys are,,,
working hard at learning
the words.. Mrs. Handy
built this song around the
Scouts law. The tune for
this one is If You're
Happy and You Know It.
The Cubs have just
received their song. It is
based on all aspects, of
cubbing, their grand
howl, the law and
promise and of course the
fun of making friends. It
goes to the tune of
Clementine.
The Guides have just
received their song. This
was the hardest one to
write, taking over a year.
This one goes to the tune
of the Battle Hymn of the
Republic
Three cheers goes out
to Mrs. Handy, from all
the groups for showing
her interest in us' and
sharing her talents with
us. We also hope that the
songs will become well-
known' in Guiding and
Scouting throughout
Canada.
A part . of being a
member of the Guiding or
Scouting movements is
to say a heartfelt thank
you to those people who
have helped us
throughout the year. The
people we owe this
thanks to are: Vanastra

Now that draperies are
so expensive, decorate
your apartment or home
with a neutral -colored
material, such as muslin.
Later, use the muslin to
line more expensive
draperies.
Put inexpensive clear
glass bowls, vases or
glasses in a shallow box
filled with sand and place
in the sun. After a few
months, the glass will be
permanently tinted a
variety of beautiful
colours. The longer the
glass is exposed to the
sun, the deeper the shade.
To redecorate an old
picture frame, spray glue -z:
on it and sprinkle
aquarium rocks or small
shells evenly on the
frame. When dry, shake
the frame; spray glue
again and fill in the bare
spots. Repeat the process
until the frame is com-
pletely coyered.

their mother by'inviting
them up front fo a couple
of games. Ned!ss to say
the Brownies ractised
these games ahead of
time, and had problems
getting their mothers to
co-operate.
The fathers of the Cubs
had a little surprise as
well when they were
called up front to sing and
give the Grand Howl. The
fathers had a good
chuckle while the
mothers were per-
forming, but they en-
countered stage fright as
well.
