A very special thanks goes to George Wraith and his wife and family. Mr. Wraith let us use one of his very large trucks for the Brownie float (no charge). and., also a Ski Whiz trailer plus their own car was loaned to the' Guides fortheirentry! That's not all! We were 'told that the truck would be 'put in their large, heated, well lit building for our convenience if we'd,, like ' to decorate it on • Friday night and Saturday morning. Upon our arrival (husbands and children toq) we were welcomed and made right at home and then helped at every turn by different members of the family right up to the * time we left after 11:30 p.m. That's' still not all though! Part way through the busy evening Mrs. Wraith and her girls appeared as if by magic with a lovely lunch — on a table complete with a white tablecloth — set up near thetruck so that we wouldn't be interrupted in our work. We also spent all Saturday morning preparing our float and when we were ready to leave for the parade there was very little outside of the truck's ° front windshield that remained uncovered. We had plans to put some of the Brownies on the truck around our Toadstool in 'a little "forest clearing" complete with paper trees,' magic pool, flowers and little Brown Owl, • but no sooner" had we left the safety of the •garage than our plans (and our float) were drastically altered. The wind whipped * about snatching off the poinsettias,, the pool and anything that wasn't actually nailed down and after a stop for some things here and there we gave up:and headed for town. Every inch of the way seemed like a mile and when we finally arrived in our spot there was very little of our gorgeous effort • left. Everyone pitched right' in and helped us out once again w The, parade 'mU$t go on aboard in place of the little forest etc. In all honesty it's also true that the ° Brownies themselves made far better decorations. for the float 'than any grown -up -made trimmings, no matter how fancy they might be. Of course, everyone was delighted when they heard they'd won a second prize! ,' The time and effort spent on - phone calls, or making the little hats and ties for each one of the Brownies to wear was also considerable and out thanks go to all the people who took part in . these behind -the -scenes activities. From the time the idea began, and the truck ph..s driver so kindly donated, through the growth of the project as it expanded from just one Brownie Pack into all four of them, right up to the final minute of the parade on Saturday many many people helped us in a large variety of ways and it's important to state that NOT ONE person refused, no matter what was asked of them. Goderich is a wonderful, place to live and the people in it are the greatest. * * * BROWNIES .

There's no . doubt that we'll need to find a bigger bank to keep it in as we watch it grow.

Our new Guides are working hard on their Tenderfoot tests. In the '';3ist few ,weeks Judy.Langridge, Joan Coulter, Sandra Meriam, Beth MacEwan, Wendy Webb, Halley Hunter, Jane Graham and Margaret Hill have passed some knots. The Guides tested successfully on their knowledge of the trail laying signs were Gail Williams, Lynn Mansell, Shelly, Claudia and Margaret Hill, and Kell oss. • Eleanor McMillan, Shelly, Claudia and Margaret Hill, and Kelly Ross also passed their Kim's Game (a memory testing game). Captain Ainslie • took Patrol 000 Leaders and some of the older Guides to the Fire Hall to learn fire precautions and firefighting from our Firemen: The Guides are busily preparing for their Christmas Dance to be held Decernber 8.

The evergreen Christmas tree, safe with intelligent use, can present a serious fire hazard if improperly handled. The difference lies in the tree's moisture content — a condition over which -you have a surprising degreeof control. There are three simple steps to safe enjoyment of your favourite tree: h Don't purchase a tree that has dried out. Trees that are too dry have brittle branches ,that shed needles easily. Test twigs and needles for flexibility. fire safety 2. Store tree outdoors, preferably under shade, until it. is to be used. If it must be stored indoors, re -cut butt and immerse in water. Maintain water supply. 3. When tree is to be erected, re -cut butt diagonally. Stand tree in water and maintain water supply for duration of tree's use. A tree handled in this manner will achieve a moisture content equal to, and in many cases greater than, its , moisture content when cut, and will stay fresh, green and safe through the Christmas season.
