Guiding in Clinton got off to a
fine start in the late 1920's, but
little is on record of these early
troops. Then in 1936, Mrs. .Sane
Castle organized - the troop again
and served as Guide Captain, Mrs.
Lonnie Matthews was Brownie lea-
der, Then in 1938 Rangers were
begun and Mrs. Sam Castle was
Ranger leader. War broke out,
and the companies 'were closed
down again while their leaders
went away from town -to 'join their
husbands in the service.
— At this time Sam Castle and
Clarence Rozell were in charge
of Scouts; Percy Gunn of the
-Cubs and Hovers were organized
by M. J. Schoenhals and Alex
Haddy. There • was no district
camp .:at 'that
Again -in 1946 Mr. and Mrs..S.agr
Castle were instrumental in re-
forming the Guides, Brownies,
Scouts and Cubs, Later Mrs,. Cas-
tle became Guide Commissioner
which she resigned last year due
to- ill health after many years of
devoted service.
Mrs. Cameron Proctor became
commissioner this year. Brownlee
leaders at .. present are Mrs.
liar Jervis, Mrs. George Wonch
and Mrs. Douglas 'Bali.
Guide leaders are 'Mrs. H. A.
(Bud) Graham, Mrs. L. G. Winter,

DID YOU KNOW. THAT BY
writing to P.O. Box 419, White-
horse, Yukon-. . .• showing a
little bit of interest in that north-
ern and most westerly part, of
Canada . . . you can get regular
copies of the Newsletter issued
by the Yukon Travel Bureau ...
And -from there you can get fur-
ther addresses, and plan an entire
.trip to these storied places such
as Dawson 'Creek, B.C.; 'Ketchikan,
Juneau, Skagway, etc. , . . Think
of travelling by the Glacier
Queen on an Alaskan cruise . .
during the next heat wave here in
Huron . . .
AMAZING HOW STORIES GET
started . . . Remember back in
publie school when we were taught
that all Eskimos lived in igloos;
Indians :lived in tents and Detch-
men wore wooden shoes.;, . . Well
somebody is making a good bit
of money selling leather moccasins
in the Usrited Kingdom . . . be-
cause over there they think, 'that
Canadians wear them . . . They
have the same idea about us, that
we had about the Dutch . . .
Generalities taught to school chil-
dren have a habit of clinging on
into adult life . Seems to us
that motion pictures of other na-
tions (realistic ones, not Holly-
wood posed affairs) . . . and even
TV shows will aid in spreading
more knowledge of other nations.
