I The work of re-forming a Guide Group in Otaki "after a lapse of 15 years was completed a.t a ceremony recently held in the Raukawa Hall. This is an event to which the residents of Otaki have enthusiasiically been looking for ward to for a long time. The bulk of the work of preparing the recruits for their tenderfoot badge, which they must have before being enrolled, was done by Miss Purvis with the capable help of Mrs. W. Wilson, who is herself an ex-guide captain and was "interested in the movement for a long 'period prior to coming to Otaki. Prior to the enrolment ceremony the captain of the First Levin Guide Company, Mrs. F. ' Chainey, together with the disirict commissioner, Mrs. M. Kircaldie, and a captain of the Lone Guides, Miss Jarmin, travelled to Otaki to test the recruits for their tenderfoot badge. The enrolment ceremony was begun with the investment of Miss Mary James as company leader and Miss Beryl Ross as patrol leader. Following this some 20 recruits were enrolled and received their badges. Games were then played, followed by a call to the "campfire." A'^dainly supper was provided by the parents and promoters of the movement. Miss Purvis will be the acting-lieuten-ant of the company.
