Girl Guides’ New Garden
For years the Black Gate, the entrance to Newcastle, England for the south was a Black Gate indeed, a desolate rubbish heap and a disgrace to the city. But now beside the Norman keep of the old castle that gave Newcastle its name, is a charming garden with seats on tho grass, flowers in the beds, and flowering shrubs along the borders. It is a transformation scene worked by Newcastle's Girl Guides to celebrate their coming-of-agc, states a correspondent. Having done this good work to the south side of the Black Gate, the girls are now attacking the weeds and rubbish to tho north. Children in the neighbourhood, who have never before seen a flower growing in the grass, have now a garden of their own to play in. Newcastle is begging its people to nothing to spoil garden, and is even turning its attention to other dad patches.
