REfis BITTON RECEIVES hiff BROWNIE LEADERS REAP DIVIDENDS Modern parents with the welfare of their growing children at heart are often heard to say, "I like my kids to bring their friends home—then I know who they're with and what they're doing." This is sound thinking, but an equally sound approach is to go where the children are and work with them in planning their activities. Organizations like the Canadian Girl Guides and Brownies are ex- perts at helping girls combine good times and comradeship with char- acter-building. Lord Baden-Pow- ell, its founder, stated the aim of Guiding is "to develop character towards happy citizenship," and the organization has seen 50 years of successful activity in Canada. Several generations of Canadian women and girls have been Brow- nies, Guides or Rangers, and thou- sands of women across Canada have made this possible by unself- ishly giving their 'time and effort as leaders for these groups in their communities, Guiding today is more popular than ever. Each year thousands of little girls of eight look forward to becoming Brownies, while their older sisters yearn to exchange the brown uniform for the navy blue of a Guide or Ranger. But Brownie packs and Guide companies can only be formed if there are leaders —enthusiastic volunteers willing to invest a few hours a week in the future of their daughters and those of their neighbours. Women who have proudly Worn the uniform of a Guide leader or a Brown Owl say they are grateful for what Guiding has given them -- the fun of being with active, heal. thy girls—the satisfaction of a job well done, of an investment that pays big dividends, The Wingham Brownies are in dire need of a leader. Could you invest a couple of hours a week that will pay sound dividends in healthy citizens?

DECISION AT DELPHI by Helen MacInnes The name of Helen Macinnes on a book jacket is enough to make me reach for the volume and promptly bury myself in its pages. "Decision at 'Delphi" lives up to her usual standard of excellence. This is not a book to skim through in an evening; on the other hand it should be read steadily; otherwise one would lose track of its plots and its many people of varying nationalities, The central figure is Kenneth Strang, an architect of artistic per- suasion whose present magazine assignment is to take him to Sicily and Greece. Strang looks forward to his work, especially as he longs to re-visit Greece, where he had been in 1944 as a naval officer. Even before his ship sailed from New York there are sinister warn- ings about his co-worker, Steve Kladas, a photographer, a Greek, now living in America. Partly be- cause of this relationship with Kladas and partly 'because of re- newing a friendship with another Greek, Alexander Christophorou, Strang finds himself involved in a conspiracy, which imperils his life and that of his fiancee. The action of the story moves rapidly from Sicily across the face of Greece, reaching its climax among the pillars' of the ruined Temple of Apollo at Delphi. This superb mystery story will hold you entralled, There were other features of it that also intrigued me. Pos- sibly other readers will also be in- terested. Greece to me is the home of some of the most delightful tales of Calliool&SES Of Course It's in Good Condition . 1 Use It Mostly For Parking Your car would be in marvelous condition, too, if you used it only for parking . . . but you don't.

It is a coun- try whose grandeur I always think of in the past tense. There is still a Greece, a focal point for much tragic history yet and this book taught me much of the events from 1945 to 1958. It interested me, too, to see how ideas and philosophy are still a vital part of even the poorest of the people, On the other hand I was amazed at their stand- ards of living and farming—that has changed little over the centur- ies. In the course of the book also is expounded the doctrine of Nihil- ism, which, I never understood so clearly before, The beauty of the Mediterranean and the lands wash- ed by its waters are portrayed ,most skilfully. Helen Maclnnes has done a mast- erly job in this book, Greece and its troubled people become real; Athens, Sparta, Thebes are no longer place names in an ancient history text, Beauty runs riot; ideas flash into life and added to all that, the story is absorbingly good, Wroxeter, was awarded A, as was; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hyndman, Judy Smith, R.
