Among the activities en- gaged in was the 6th’s efforts in assisting to make the annual Tag Day for the Orange Lodge Home such a success. This season's meetings of the 6th Richmond Hill Girl Guide Company really started off “with a bang" advises Guide Captain Mrs. G. Rimmer. A few weeks after the com- plction of the building the Pres- bytery established the roll of the congregation, and local of- ficers were elected. The first act of the newly constituted congre- gation was to invite the Rev. William W. Patterson to come as their first settled minister. 6th Cir] Guide Company CUB and SCOUT NEWS ’5; GUIDE AND BROWNIE NOTES It was also revealed at the meeting that 60 letters had been sent out to parents of cubs, but only 20 of them at- tended. The present over- worked leaders advise that they will endeavour to absorb a cer- tain number of the Kaa cubs into existing packs (which are llmned to 36) and the remain- der of these cubs will have to "join the waiting list". So, before this tragic situa- tion occurs, it is hoped that at least one adult will volunteer to act as leader, with the opportunity to secure further “training on the job". Further indormation relative to the ur- gency of this situation may be obtained by telephoning Group Secretary H. Hemphill at 884- 5684.

He asked the congregation to note that the Ark was on a new cart. When the cart trembled a man reached out to steady it. This forbidden act, as recorded caused God, in anger, to kill him instantly. Dr. Binninrgton explained that the man was weary and excited and reacted naturally to sup rt the Ark and no doubt (ii of heart fail- ure. The Ark was not injured. He suggested that thought be given to the attitudes of oppo- sition to any change. He quoted changes that had been accepted and had become sacred. Oppon- ents to change should be sure that they are concerned about the Ark of God and not the new cart on which it is carried. “Hank” Hedges was the guest speaker. His topic. “Educational Television", was one on which he was very qualified to speak. He is well-known for his work on CBC‘s "Junior Magazine". In addition, he was on loan from Toronto Teachers’ College to the Metropolitan Educational Television Association for the past year to assist in setting up their program. Mr. Hedges showed a kine- scope of a Grade 3 social studies broadcast on Japan produced by META.

At present a teacher at Orchard Park Public School, Stouffville, she is also on the‘ executive of the Stouifvllle‘ Home & School Association. She is taking over the leader- ship of the YorkSimcoe Coun- cil at a difficult period, since many changes in its organiza- tion are envisaged within the next few years. Some of these changes were outlined at last week’s meeting by a panel con- ‘sistihg of Mrs. H. V. Pitcher. Mr. G. Gray and Mr. L. Smith, who is now district organizer for area D. In the past it was found that there existed a great lack of communications between the various organizations of home & school, especially between council and association and council and federation. Ln or- der to bridge this gap, recom- mendations were approved by the board of directors of the federation some time ago to the effect that councils will in future consist of local associa~ tion members appointed by their association, and there will likely be three or four councils .in an area presently served by only one council. This will en- able the council to better serve the needs of the various asso- ciations, at the same time af- ‘fordinig associations, which will remain as now, a better contact with their own council. Each council in turn will elect its own vice-president to present it on the board of managers, which is to be reduced to a membership of 54 rather than 115 as at present. Other im- provements forecast were a federation bulletin issued to all home 5; school members, acquainting -them with general home 8; school matters on a broader scale. A suggestion had also been made to produce a universal home & school mem- bership card, enabling parents to be members of more than one home a; school association for the same membership fee.
