GIRL GUIDES.

CO-AIPANY ACTIVITIES. !

I c I coup was a welcome addition to the meal when All Saints’ Banger Company met on a chilly evening. Handcrafts were followed by Morse with buzzer and flags, and plans were made for folk • dancing. The possibility of a week end camp was also discussed. The Takaro (Gtb Palmerston North) Guides-went to Wellington recently, to bo the guests of the St. Paul’s Guides there. The weather was fine and an enjoyable visit was paid to the Exhibition. On flic Saturday evening there was a campfire out-of-doors. A tour of the wharves and beauty spots of Wellington occupied a large part of the ' Sunday, and there was also an interesting story on the foundation of the Bed Cross Society’s cross by Bev. Coli lard Scrub}-, at Guides’ Own. The Guides . who remained in Palmerston North spent the time preparing the company’s entry in the Y.W.C.A. table-setting display. As most of the leaders and seconds of St. Paul’s (75th Palmerston North) Company have formed a new patrol to work for the first class tests, acting leaders and seconds have been appointed. Nonna Hewitt. ChrLsie Bold. Nancy Randall and Ruth Woodfield are leaders of the Purirt, Clematis, Kowliai and Bata Patrols respectively. | while -Toy Palmer. Gwen Edwards, j Elsme Dixon and-Margaret Soper are their seconds. The company has also IS been rearranged to even up the altera- » tions, and everyone is working well. B Manuka has been chosen as the name g of the new patrol. It has been decided E to institute a test for membership in @ the patrol, as the French Guides do. E Before a Guide can become a full g member of her patrol and wear the | emblem, she must know all she can about' the plant, bird or animal her patrol is named after, its motto, and the patrol call. This will make it an added honour to wear the emblem and shoulder k”ot. and increase the know- | ledge of Nature. {
