All Saint's now, because we are moving back to Takaro, and start there next Friday night at 5.30, finishing at 7.30 p.m. We’ve been keeping up our swimming for the sport next Saturday, March 5, as we hope to do well for our company.

Last Saturday we took our tea and proceeded to move some of our property from the cupboard. Then later on during company meeting we were very lucky for our new Commissioner, Mrs Wilson, paid us a short visit. Madam peeped into our corners, then we had a Kim's game for a memory test. First Class and Second Class.

Have you started, those of you who want to pass your test this year, or your heights and weights and distances, or your time and number judging? Those of you who want to be P.L.'s and seconds this year, need to pass your second class before you can win your stripes, so polish up your morse and finish your nature collections, before the cold weather starts. There are such lots of interesting things to see just now outside. BROWNIE CORNER Tu-whit, Tu-whoo. Were you disappointed at the swimming sports being postponed? Never mind, there is something to be glad about, you have this extra time for practising in, haven’t you, so go ahead Brownies. On Wednesday last Pack No. 3 had a picnic; each Brownie invited a friend, and such a jolly time they had with competitions, games, and of course, afternoon tea. They each went happily home carrying a gay bon-bon filled with goodies. Do you know the Brownie multiplication table? 2xl are two, a Brownie’s word is true, 2x2 are four, she’s loyal to the core, 2x3 are six, she smiles when in a fix. 2x4 are eight, for school she's never late,. 2x5 are ten, first-class badge, what then? 2x6 are twelve, you see, don't forget the T. 1.8. 2x7 are fourteen, yes! Brownie folds with care her dress. 2xß are sixteen, please, Brownies breath through nose with ease. 2x9 are big eighteen, Brownie keeps the silver clean. 2 x 10 of course are twenty, she can tie knots a-plenty. 2 x 11 arc twenty-two, exercises she must do. 2 x 12 are twenty four, first-class Brownie's semaphore. Tu-whoo.
