After a strenuous tpijr .of Australia which was preceded by an equally strenuous flsit to Canada, Lady Baden Powell, World Chief Guide, arrived at Wellington by the Wahine today from Sydney. She was met by Miss Ruth Merrick, Hastings, Dominion Chief Commissioner for Girl Guides. Because her Commonwealth tour has made such demands on her, Lady Baden Powell will spend a month resting in New Zealand before beginning an official tour of the Dominion in April. She will remain here till the end of Mav, when she will return to England. She is staying at Heretaunga. Lady Baden Powell's present tour is being made to foster the growth of the Girl Guide movement and to meet and address Guides, and their leaders everywhere. While on her way to New Zealand in the Wahine, a message from the World Chief Guide was broadcast in Guiding countries' to mark "Thinking Day,'' which fell on February 22. This date is Lady Baden Powell’s birthday and was also the birthday ol Lord Baden Powell.
