Today the picture is better - in fact in Clinton we can be proud to have a healthy and active association of Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Guides and Brownies. This week, this world wide organization celebrates its founding by the late Lord Baden-Powell. Here the an- nual church parade will take place at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Rat-= - tenbury Street East on Sun- day, Feb. 22, to be followed at 11:30 a.m. by a Pancake Brunch at the Clinton Legion lasting until 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available from any Beaver, Cub or Scout leader or at the door. It's easy for us here at the News -Record office to catch the enthusiasm which exists in this great movement for youngsters from an early age to their teens. It rubs off on us from the different leaders with whom we come in contact. Their work is 100 per cent voluntary and they are doing a great job. And, it may take us another year to express. our appreciation but we would like to say thank you especially to Mary Freeman and Wayne Wigelsworth who provide the newsy column each week covering the association's activities.

Council noted that they may be>able to give another donation later in the year to help the parent co-op, pre-school classes to purchase more equipment. +++ Council learned that the ministry of in- tergovernmental affairs is carrying out a study on the interest charged for tax. arrears. Presently municipalities are allowed to charge an interest rate of 11 per cent per month on unpaid taxes. However, some municipalities have com- plained that this rate is too low and say that the present rate does not match bank borrowing rates and isn't a stiff enough deterrent to delinquent taxpayers. The ministry is studying whether the rate should be increased, or dropped completely. +++ Council agreed to grant the Clinton rec committee up to $10,000 of their 1981 budget. The interim grant is usually given to the rec committee to operate on until the 1981 budget is set. Students. to perform Jungle Book The winter term at Clinton and District Christian School is wellunderway and is a busy one too. The annual public speaking competition sponsored by the Legion always stirs up mixed feel- ings. Everyone from grades 4-8 must present a topic. Both staff and students alike are caught up in the ex- citement of preparing a youth musical entitled "Jungle Book" to be presented in early March. Amid practices, set designs and costumes, there is truly some direction to it all. At present grades 5-8 are playing houseleague volleyball. Soon finals will be held. The girls' volleyball team is preparing to par- ticipate in a tournament to be held on Saturday. Exhibi- tiongames played with Clin- ton Public School girls really help to show up this school's weaknesses. Good luck to everyone at the tournament at CRSS on Saturday. oto tie m "i•-boekey mane, of the tion teams and their guests were treated to hot dogs and drinks after their games.

Plans set. for Guide -Scout Week Guide - Scout Week is from the Sunday before February 22nd to the Sunday following the 22nd. Guide - Scout Week, formerly known as Boy Scout - Girl Guide Week originated in the 40's. By 1949, there were so many special weeks, it was decid- ed that the week should be dropped. Many communities continued holding the com- bined week and so, in 1970, Guide - Scout Week was re- introduced. The week offers both organizations an excellent opportunity for great public relations with the variety of activities that are being held, and also offers both organizations an opportunity to help their members better understand the principles of our groups — the same prin- ciple shared by millions of others around the world. Guide.- Scout Week is held this week because of -Think- ing Day, on February 22nd which was the birthday of both Lord and Lady Baden- Powell, the Chief Scout and Chief Guide. In 1926, the first Thinking Day was held to honor, their joint birthdays. Since that time, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts have con- tinued to set aside that date. as a time to think about their brothers and • sisters in Guiding and Scouting around the world. Pennies collected During Guide - Scout Week here in Canada, companies and units collect pennies for the Canadian World Friend- ship Fund. The money col- lected is used in -a variety of ways. Part of it goes to the World Thinking Day Fund, The Four World Centers, and the Mutual Aid Scheme. As well, the money provides assistance o those com- munities who have a her elected for inter- na tonal events, and is used t6ring participants from a member country to take part in programs set up in our provinces. All countries belonging to the World Association of Girl Guides send money, from their own Thinking Day Funds, to the World Fund to help with the cost of training girls and leaders and to sup- port projects in countries which request assistance. This year, children are ask- ing that each member give the price of their chocolate bar or treat for a few weeks to the Thinking Day Fund. Events Events this week in Clin- ton include a Skating Party on February 15th, a Church parade to the Presbyterian Church on February 22nd, and special displays in many of the store windows downtown all week. A rose will also be given to any baby born on the 22nd in the Clinton Hospital. The Clinton - organization Guiding in Clinton started in the late 1920's, but no records are left of this early Company. Then, in 1936, Mrs. Sam Castle organized the Company . again and 'served as the Guide Captain. Her helpers were Mrs. Jean -Jacobs ._and Mrs: Tom Morgan. The Guides . held their weekly meetings at the Scout Hall which was several rooms above a store on Huron Street. Camping wag, _enjoyed on the shores/of take Huron "at' Burke's Beach ,' and Kit- chigami. In those days, the first duty, on arriving at camp, was to fill an oversiz- ed potato sack with clean straw which became their bed for the camping period. In 1938, as well as a Guide Company, there was a Brownie Pack under the leadership of Mrs. Lonnie Mathews, a Ranger Com- pany organized by Mrs. Sam Castle and Miss Dorothy Mutch. These organizations were sponsored by the Clin- ton Lions Club. War broke out and the Companies were closed down until 1946 when Mrs. Castle again started the Guides and Brownies. Mrs. Castle was appointed the Guide Commissioner and held that office until 1959. In the following years, many others have given their time to the Guides and Scouts. For the 1980 - 1981 season the groups are - The First Brownie Pack, who hold their meeting on Tues- day evenings at the Legion Hall with Brown Owl Janet Cameron, Tawny Owls Florence Elliott and Sherry West Wawanosh Mutual Fire Insurance Company Dungannon, Ont.
