Guide Leaders needed voice I would like you, as parents, to sit back for a moment and remember the good times we had as kids. Do you remember the first time you put on a Cub uniform or a Brownie uniform? You had a feeling that you were already grown up, your heart swelled with pride. How about ti"he first badge that you had to work for? Remember the feeling of accomplishment when you were presented with the, badge and rushed home so Mum could sew it on your uniform. Those crazy songs we learned around the campfire that we still find ourselves humming after all these years. Remember the year you flew up to Scouts or Guides? What an event! Wow were we proud! Now we could go camping and light our own fires and do our own cooking almost like Mum and Dad. We had responsibilities now. We learned to be good citizens, to respect other people and their property, to respect our nation and our church and to be proud of our own community. Whenever we put on our uniform we felt proud and were glad to let everyone know we were a member of the Boy Scouts or Girl Guides of Canada But let's get back to today. What happened to all those kids that were Scouts or. Guides? Today they, are parents with kids of their own who are looking for a place to go and something to do. Let's not deprive our kids of the same opportunities that we had in the Scouting and Guiding movements. Let me put it bluntly. If we don't face up to our responsibilities and- do something in a hurry, we will not have an Scouting or Guiding in Vanastra this year. We need people for the Group Parent Committee, leaders for the Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Scouts and helpers for the Cubs. We Need YOU! We have had the same leaders in Brownies ~and Guides for the past five years. However, because of working hours and other conditions they cannot make it back this year. What are we going to do? Are we going to let the groups fold? I think as parents we have an obligation to the community and our kids to keep Scouting and Guiding alive and well. Let's get out and support all of these groups. One of the greatest feelings of pride and accomplishment in this life is to have a child, our own or others,' look you in the eye and say, "Thank you for helping me grow to be a better citizen and person." At this time there are no leaders for Brownies or Guides. Is there no one in Vanastra who cares enough to see that these groups continye to function? As leaders,of the Brownies and Guides, we feel that a commitment of • five years work with these children arrySidney's son is in world competition Harry Sidney of Vanastra hears about his son's ac- tivities in a special' way, through the pages of a newspaper. An August 21 article in The Sudbury Star featured Ken Sidney in a story titled "Sidney makes orienteering national unit." Dr. Ken Sidney, 34, coach for the Laurentian University cross-country ski teams, finished second m the Canadian men's orienteering championships, held in Kamloops, B.C. in August. He is one of the rookie members on Canada's four - man team travelling to Switzerland for the world orienteering championships. Orienteering requires the physical stamina in running and the ability to read a map and compass. In com- petitions, the actual race area is kept secret and has never been used before until the competitors arrive. In individual events, runners follow a course ap- proximately 15 kilometres and must finish within 90 minutes while the relay course is 12 km. for each runner, who must finish withing 65 minutes. Dr. Sidney has been in- volved in orienteering for over eight years and is not unfamiliar with in- . ommunity . news Lions and Lioness Regular meetings begin this week for the clubs. The Lions Dinner meeting is September 2nd and the Lioness dinner meeting is September 3rd. Try and make it. With help from Lions members on Saturday, the Lioness have their project at the school completed. Railway ties were placed around the activity centre on the playground and filled with sand. Thank you. Cubs The Vanastra Cub . Pack will start regular meetings again on Monday, Sep- tember 14thhat the Vanastra Recreation Centre from 6:20 - 8 p.m. Registration will be held that evening. All boys ages 8-l0 years old are welcome and the fee is $10. Please bring OHIP number. Future meetings will be held every Monday evening from 6:20 - 8 p.m. For more in - forma do n please contact Jim Thomas (Ake la) or Meryl Thomas (Bagheera) at 482-9467. ternational competition. A year ago, Dr. Sidney was the coach of the national orienteering team which travelled to Switzerland to a training session In Switzerland the Canadian team should face very hilly conditions but a very fast course and a total of 25 countries are taking part in the world cham- pionships, should not go by the wayside. What thoughts will run through the minds of these children when they see that, nobody cares? If you are interested in being d leader of one of these groups, please contact Diane Ryan (Brownies) at 482-3886 or Meryl Thomas (Guides) at 482-9467. Remember it's up to you. -Signed by Meryl Thomas, June Jeacock, Diane Ryan, Sandy McLachlan.

(James Fitzgerald photo) World ret iird day held at summer. playground The final week of the Tuckersmith Township Playground concluded with a bang ..., mostly that of bubble -gum bubbles ex- ploding as the kids at the playgrounds attempted to beat the world record for the biggest bubble -gum bubble on World Record Day. The kids were in high spirits and did very well, even if they didn't make or break any records. The contests to see who could run faster, jump higher or just plain spit farther resulted in a lot of personal records being set, even if the bad weather kept them indoors at times. The final trip -of -the -week also went very well, all the way to Canada's Wonderland and back. Attendance for the day was excellent, the weather was the best of the week, and Wonderland was great! Thanks are due to all the parents and kids who sup- ported the program this summer, especially those who helped in a volunteer capacity. Thanks go to the people at the Van Egmond House, the Egmondville United Church, Paul Carroll, Mel Graham, Reg. Knight, and the people who run the Stanley township ball diamond outside Varna, as well as the hall in Varna, for all the help they gave us this summer, (oh yes, thanks to the staff at the Rec Centre, too). Hope we see you again next year!
