What The Creators Of "Police Academy" Did For Law Enforcement Is Nothing Compared To What They're Doing To Traffic School! Clinton was chosen for an evening visit as an op- portunity for rural children to meet the distinguished president off the Guide movement. Brownies and Guides from among the 1,100 members in the area's Beaver division of Girl Guides were invited to attend the gala ceremony. Girls from all across the area took part. "It was an honor for the girls in this area to see the daughter of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell," noted Bev Thompson, commissioner of the Beaver division. "The looks on the girls' faces showed their excitement." Lord Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts in 1907. Soon afterward girls began taking part in the movement. Her father was "scared blue" that the young girls would ruin it • for -the boys, Mrs. Clay said, but by 1910 the Girl Guides were firmly established. Today it is ,the largest female organization in the world, with more than nine million participants in 104 countries and about 250,000 across Canada. Lord Baden-Powell was a 50 -year-old retired army officer when he founded the Scouts. Five years: later he married Mrs. Clay's mother when she was 24 and Lady Baden-Powell became the world chief Guide leader. The romance and marriage of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell was re - Brownie corner Mrs. Anna Gibbons helped the Second Wingham Brownie Pack with a special fork -weaving craft for the parent -daughter banquet to be held at the Wingham United Church on May 28.

See you there. enacted at the Clinton ceremony, with Goderich Girl Guides presenting a skit recalling the romance, their parents' objections and their work together. Mrs. Clay called the skit "a jolly and true story", with her husband adding light- heartedly that, "It was remarkable meeting my mother-in-law." The Clays' style and presence is one of delight and enthusiasm, charac- teristics which Mrs. Clay recommends to be a good Guide leader. She said a leader should have "per- severance, a sense of fun and enjoyment of life and love of girls." As 'her parents did, Mrs. Clay has devoted her life to Young athletes do well at meet . BRUSSELS—The Huron - Perth Track and Field Meet was held at Goderich last Tuesday and Wednesday. Several Brussels -area youngsters did well in the various competitions.

Mrs. Lorna Stuart is the convener. the Guiding movement. She acted as her mother's secretary during her parents' trips around the world. The 68 -year-old lady is now Guide president of southwest England and still devotes much of her time to travel. She said the basic prin- ciples of Guiding are the same as when the movement was founded 75 years ago. "It was' right then, it is right now and it will be right 35 years from now." Guiding, she stressed, helps girls develop their skills and talents. It offers excitement and adventure. "This is what appeals to girls and this is what girls need." The visit to Beaver division took the form of a campfire -style event at the newly -renovated Clinton Town Hall, featuring songs and cheers, skits and presentations. As well as the skit by the Goderich group, a second highlight of the evening came when the Belgrave Brownie Pack performed some action songs for the Clays. Two special presentations were made to Mrs. Clay, donations to the Olave Centre being built in England in memory of Lady Baden-Powell by Guides and Brownies around the world. The centre will serve as Guide headquarters, a meeting place and a hostel. Mrs. Clay thanked the girls for their donations, noting, "It's a great and worthwhile gift to a great and worthwhile person. When you're just a little older you'll have to come and stay." The climax of the evening came with the end of the campfire ceremony and an opportunity to meet the couple personally. The 250 people present swarmed around to shake hands, take pictures and meet the lady who symbolizes the Guide move nn ent.
