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? Then contact

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

mythology; the wonders of its ar-
chitecture, much of which sprang
from its religion, still stand after
three thousand years. 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.
