WORLD CHIEF GUIDE VISITS DOMINION
She was met by Miss Ruth Herrick, Hastings, Dominion Chief Commissioner for Girl Guides. Because her Commonwealth tour has made such demands on her, Lady Baden-Powell will spend a month resting in New Zealand before beginning an official four of the Dominion in April. She will remain in New Zealand until the end of May, when she will return to England. She is staying at Heretaunga. Lady Baden-Powcll’s present tour is being made to foster the growth of the Girl Guide movement and to meet and address guides and their leaders everywhere. While on her way to New Zealand in the Wahine a message from the World Chief Guide was broadcast in Guiding countries to mark “Thinking Day,” which fell on February 22. This date is Lady Bnden-Powell’s birthday and was also the birthday of Lord Baden-Powel.
