On Saturday evening the Guides met in the Oddfellows’ Hall, where the final meeting of the year was held. The president of the committee, Mrs James Campbell, presented the efficiency cup to the Swallow Patrol, congratulating them on the excellence of their work throughout the year. Commissioner Mrs Clouston thanked the lieutenants, R. Graham and Helen Clouston, for the capable manner in which they had performed their duties. Before closing the meeting R. Graham, on behalf of the Guides, presented Mrs Clouston with a handsome box of stationery as a small token of appreciation for the help that is always meted otit to the company. The company then proceeded to the Railway Reserve, where a camp fire had previously been set in the form of the trefoil. The fire was set alight by the three youngest Guides who in turn explained the meaning of the three parts of the badge, after which a most entertaining concert was given by the various members of the company, a feature being a mock wedding. Before supper was handed round a collection was taken up. The proceeds are to go towards the purchase of trees which will be planted in a reserve by the Guides. Boy Scouts-
