GIRL-GUIDE CORNER

Dear Rangers, Guides and Brownies,— I want to write particularly to the Rangers this week as they will be celebrating their first birthday on Saturday evening, and I am sure they arc already keyed up with excitement. Great preparations are being made for your banquet, I hear, and visiting Hangers will be coming from Ngaruawahia* Hamilton, and maybe also f rom land. What a glorious time you will have entertaining your friends, Rangers, and it's such stunning fun when you have helped to arrange all the details of your party, isn't it? I heard that there was .a likelihood of the icecream churn re-appearing too. ■ Will you be having a Mintic tin also, as the Guides did not their last camp?. Several humorous tales are told about it. It's a pity that Camp Mother will not to sec you all having a happy time. Well, Rangers, here's luck to you for the new year you are about to enter. I hope you will, all be strong links in the Guide chain, and that "Locklsey Den" and all it stands for will mean a great deal to you <v Lay Your Plans for To-morrow Now! Action is the thing. Do it now is the pass-word. Keeping at it* is the weapon of defence. A grim determination to win is the impenetrable armour; and The knowledge that you are right is the military, music that will cheer you on through the fiercest conflict. The ready leader has, no periods of doubt. "I Can" is his first lieutenant, always waiting, always ready. "I can't" never gets by his fortification. . - * Leadership is ' not an intangible thing. It is a state of mind made manifest by constant, productive activity. Do you want to be a leader? Do you have the nerve to be a leader. Do you have the willingness to be a leader. Do you have the Will-power to be a leader? You you have the earnestness of thought that a leader must have? Do you have the vision of a leader? _ Then you .are leader in the true sense of the word. To-morrow you will be a great leader. Isn't it worth striving for? Talk to yourself about it. Tfoe Better Way. Look into the eyes of the other man And have a care to look beneath the tan; Under the skin you'H find, if you are wise That quality eternal, which never dies. Let's to it then and find true happiness Look for the best within ourselves and bless The lives of others who are just as frail— They seek encouragement along life's trail. The story of Victor Huge will be continued next week. Guide News. Guides, Note! We are practising for the Rally to-day at 2 p.m. So roll up everyone. Tennis shoes, and signalling flags wanted. Th'o Brownies intend holding an afternoon out-of-doors next week. Won't it bo fund? Are you going to cook sausages and boil the billy, Brownies? And here's a chance for those who have finished their First Class test to show what they can do. Ranger News.
