Then came the candle ceremony
in which each Guide and Brownie
went forward with her lighted
candle, dropped her pennies in the
"Pot of Gold for World Friend-
ship" and stated those, of whom
she was thinking in different
countries. It was significant that the first
Guide to take part, thought of
Mrs. E. Carew -Jones, Rosalind and
Linda in England and Brown Owi
also thought. --of them. It was
through Mrs. Carew -Jones' efforts
that the Guide Company and
Brownie Pack were organized. In
her "capacity as a Guider, Rosalind
also worked with the Brownies,
and just before they left Canada,
Linda graduated from a Weenie
to a Brownie. (Later it was de-
tided to send the Carew -Jones' a
cablegram for Thinking Day).
After the ceremonyat which 14
Tweenies, nine Brownies- and nine
Girl Guides were present, 'the
Brownies renewed their promise
and, -the Guides repeated their
promise. The Guides held their
