GIEL GUIDES. ( From the " Chronicle’s ” Special Correspondent. ] The St. Andrew’s Ist Bulls Company of the Girl Guides spent a pleasant evening on Tuesday, with the Boy Scouts led by S.M. Kemp, the Cubs under the leadership of Miss N. Wilson (Akela), and many of the townspeople. The evening, held in the Sunday-school, was to celebrate the first anniversary of the movement in Bulls. A few round games were indulged in at the commencement, and at 8 p.m. the Guides were called upon to “fall in,” and after inspection, the horse-shoe was formed and badges and service stars were presented by Mrs. Jones, the company’s captain. The captain congratulated Guide Winnie Kemp, who had at- | tended all tho parades, and as a memento of her good progress, she presented her with a suitable gift. Drill, marching, and physical drill was then conducted by Lieutenant McGregor, which was appreciated by those present. Competitions were held between tho boys and the girls. A haka was performed by the | Scouts, and Miss Wilson led the chorus of camp songs of the Cubs and Scouts, I the Guides replying by their songs. | Items during the evening were rendered by some of the Guides, Vera Jones sang and recited, Zelma McGregor sang, Minnie Kearney played the piano, and Muriel Jones recited. Tn the centre of the, supper table, was a beautifully iced two-tier cake, inscribed “Ist Bulls St. Andrew’s Girl Guides,” with one red candle to represent the age of the company. This was lit by the smallest guide, Vera Jones. Before cutting the cake, Captain .Tones read telegrams and messages from Wanganui, Marton, and Wellington, and apologies from Miss Newcombe, the Provincial Commissioner, and Miss Warburton, the District Commissioner.

The Vicar, the Rev. H. E. Jones, M.A., congratulated the Guides on their anniversary, and proposed the toast of the company. He thanked Mrs. McGregor for making the cake. Miss Wil-

son, Akela Leader, spoke kindly on the Guide movement and congratulated the Captain and Company, and further good wishes were expressed by Scoutmaster Kemp. At the conclusion of the proceedings the Vicar called for cheers for all helpers, especially the ladies’ committee, and welcomed the presence of such a large gathering of townspeople, especially Mr. Stewart, the new Presbyterian Minister and his wife. All joined in singing “The Birthday Song,” and the meeting concluded with “God Save the King.” CLIMBING THE LADDER. | Some people insist that there is no chance for “extras” to ever become stars in the motion picture business. I Ben Lyon and May McAvoy are two ’.of the screen’s best known players who J insist that there is a chance —a great I chance —for extras who are willing to ! work and who have something to offer the screen . Ben and May are eo- | featured in First National’s photoI play, “The Savage,” which is booked 1 to be shown at the Bulls Town Hall on Saturday evening.
