A lot of parents are probably

wondering what their little girls
do when they attend seh aseh ts every

, Tuesday evening from. 6: 30-8:00 p.m.
They come to Brownies cheerful
and obedient as every real Brownie
does. The evening starts out with.

the forming of a ring around the
toadstool. Joining hands, and keep-
ing in their Sixes, Brownies, MOVs. £

_ to the left, skip around the toad-— ay

“stool singing the Brownie song.
‘We're Brownies : here! ‘s our aim
Lend a hand and play the game.
The attendance of two Brownie
~mothers every Tuesday, leads the

Brownies in their learning and

games. We have enough mothers this

_ year that we take turns leading the -

Brownies every fifth weck.

After forming their ring and singin

their gongs, the Brownies are intro-
duced to some *kind of craft to

make or work on in order to receive
their badges. They then tidy up and
form another ring, where the Brownie —
leader informs them of coming events :

and information to give their parents

The Brownies also have the chance to

ask any questions.

We close the evening with the
Brownic Prayer and a farewell song
till the next Brownie get together.

On Feb, 21st the Brownies had a
successful skating party. The.
Brownies and their mothers skated
‘from 6:30-7:30 p.m, which was
followed by refreshments of apple
and raisen tarts and hot chocolate.
We had a ball!

Brownies also had Guiding Week
from Feb. 20-27 and a Thinking Day.

Conscience is what. lurts.when.-

Thinking Day comes once a year,
every February the twenty-second
in honor of the Founder of Scouts
and Guides, Lord Baden-Powell and
the chief Guide, Lady Baden-Powell.
Thinking Day is a good day to he

_ thankful for Brownies and friendship.

If anyone has anyi‘questions con-
cerning the Brownies please contact

Nada Carin at 778-7366.
‘During Brownies Guiding Week the

pact attended Sunday. Services he
at St. Paul's Community Church the

first weekend and the following

Sunday at Our Lady of Lourdes -

Mission.. '

The Brownie uniform became a
familiar sight around the school;
‘as in keeping with tradition the
members of the pact wore their
uniforms to classes.

On Feb. 14th the pact paid a
visit to the Cassiar Private
llospital and was taken on a guided
tour by nurse Jane Guardon. The
visit was thoroughly enjoyed by

everyone and by sone of the per-

tinent questions asked it looks
as if we might have a fow aspiring
nurses or doctors.

Grateful thanks” are extended to
Mrs. Lee Patton and her staff for
making the visit possible and for
the delightful surprise of juice
and cookies prepared by Nurse
Nano Ifudson.

Hopefully the residents on the
route from the hospital to the
Youth Centre were not unduly —
disturbed by the lusty if some-
what discordant singing on the
retum walk.
