GIRL GUIDES

NEED FOR OFFICERS

COMMISSIONER SPEAKS

Girl Guide officers, committee members, and others interested in the- Guide movement, visited the association clubroom in the Kelvin Chambers yesterday afternoon to hear an address by Miss Kuth Herriek (Ilawke's Bay Provincial Commissioner and Deputy Chief Commissioner). Miss Horriek, who-was introduced by Mrs. Martin Tweed, said shq wns glad to have the opportunity of meeting the vice-presidents and committee members present. Vice-presidents, she said, were very useful in finding girls suitable for Guidcrs and for persuading sceptical people to give Guiding a trial. New Zealand's need was at present Guidcrs 'and more Guiders. The uniformed helper not only assisted in entertaining and propaganda work, but could do much in persuading sceptics that Guiders were not as she had heard them doscribod, 1(a lot of uniformed peoplo rushing about drilling unfortunate children. There were now children wishing to join all tho time- and ■ not enough people to do the drilling. Guiding had gone ahead in leaps and bounds, said Miss Herriek, and they must keep it going ahead by doing as the Chief Guide (Lady Baden Powell) had said: "Talk more of our doings and our needs; write more about our hopes and our aims; and do all in our power to draw in other women of all ages, so that they might go forward and help the young people and at the same time place' our movement in a niovo substantially recognised* position." Tea was served by x tho Guiders, assisted by patrol leaders. Among those present were- Mrs. J. G. Coates (president of. the Wellington Girl Guide Association), Mrs. T. C. A. Hislop, Mrs. Sprott, Mrs. Arthur Duncan, Mrs. TV. Young, Mrs. C. E. Richardson, Mrs. "W. 11. Hose, Mrs. E. 11. Rose, Mrs. T. Young, Mrs. Gf. A. King, Mrs. J. G. Hughqs, Mrs. Levy, Mrs. Harcourt Arthur, Mrs. A. E. Brown, Misses Peterson, JI. Ward, and S, Bell. . ■ .....;', . ■
