It is planned that there will be a “Bridge of Gold,” reaching from Vancouver to Newfoundland, consisting of brilliant yellow tu- lips, lanted in each case in the trefo‘ foundation of the Girl Guide emblem. Through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Gurney. those present were taken (by movie) on a de- lightful trip to Bermuda and the Carribean. Brilliant sunny sandy beaches, waving palms, and nut brown sun bathers and swimmers. produced a mood that was hfrd to shake when it came time for results of the show to be announc- ed by Miss Gladys McLatchy, and for Douglas Boyd's comments on the exhibits.

We asked Mrs. Douglass about her childhood, following the Civil War. and she showed us some mementos her late father brought back from the war. and which Dr. Hogg has in her home. There was a trunk made of wood, small enough for a soldier to carry as he marched - if it be- came necessary â€"- and a gun complete with bayonet, which was longer not so streamlined and much heavier than the rifles used today. winter season, the rest of the year being spent at her lovely New Hampshire home. Born in the city of Lowell on the Maranide River, Mrs. Douglass said she and her husband left the city and took up residence in what was once their summer home at Dunstable, 30 years ago ,“because we liked liv- ing in a small, quiet town.” She says she finds the same restful atmosphere here ‘in Richmond Hill and that she loves Canada and its people. Dr. Hogg. their only child, was also born in the cotton mill city of Lowell, as was another famous personality, actress Bette Davis, who first saw the light of day in her parent's home just across the road from the Douglass residence.
