Permanent Victorian Centre for Guide Training and Camping. Dear Guiders, 23rd Junt!, 1933. The Executive Committee has in mind at present a project in which I think you will be very interested, and that is to acquire for Victoria a permanent centre for Guide Training and Camping. As you know, we are at present enti1'ely dependent on the kindness of various people for the homes, schools and properties which we are allowed to use for Guiders' Training weeks and for Camps. More weeks and week-ends, both for general and campcraft training, could be held had we the place wherein to hold them . New Zealand, Canada and New South Wales have already found it necessary to acquire such centres. It would be essential that such a property should be within easy distance of Melbourne, so that it could be in constant. use by Companies for hiking as well as camping. Lady Somers was the first to suggest and hope for this, but the time did not then seem opportun e to appeal for money. Now, however, it seems possible that this might be a time to acquire a property at a more reasonable price, also with the Centenary, during which there will be various Guide activities, so close at hand, a favourable time to ask f01' money to buy and endow it. By endow I mean a certain sum to be put aside, the interest on which would be available to meet rates and taxes and necessary repairs. We hope that a sum of £5000 would be sufficient to buy and endow the type of property we want. We do not propose to make any large public effort to make money until the beginning of next year, but thought it might be possible to stal"t to do so in the Guide organization
straight away. There are various methods by which this might be done; for instance, individual Guides or Companies might like to subscribe small amounts which could be sent to tbe State Secretary at Headquarters. Com· panies or Districts that are having some effort for their own funds might possibly like to give a certain portion of the proceeds towards the purchase of a Guide House. The main thing is to get this scheme as widely known as possible amongst the Guides. A sub-committee to deal with the collection of this money is to be formed, the Convener of which will be Mrs. Norman Brookes. Another matter which is being discu!>sed is the part the Guides are to take in the Centenary celebrations and tentative plans are being made to hold an All-Australia Training Camp for Guiders and possibly a Camp for Guides in January, 1935, and also a Scout and Guide Rally towards the end of the proposed PanPacific Scout Jamboree. We also hope it may be possible to hold a Handcraft Exhibition some time during the Celebrations. The previous Exhibition was, I think, appreciated by the public, who were interested to see what the Guide Handcraft Training could lead to, and I believe we could have another which would be even more appreciated, and therefore would be of great help to our Guides' Movement. It would also bring in a certain amount of money, and would be one way of helping by our own efforts to swell the fund to buy 0UI' Guide Camp-House. With best wishes, yours sincerely, SIBYL CRA UVEL, Deputy State Commissioner.
GUIDERS' CLUB. GENERAL MEETING. The first general meeting of the chlb wa held at 60 Market Street on June 26th for the purpose of passing the Constitution and ByLaws, and electing a committee. Up to date the management of the club has been carried out by the Guiders' Conference Committee. Miss McKinnon was in the chair, and about thirty members were present. Reports were read by the secretary and treasurer. ThE Constitution was then discussed and many alterations Were made. Owing to the fact that there was not a full attendance of members, and most of those present showed a disinclination to accept the responsibility of office, it was found necessary to postpone the elections until July 18Lh. Before this date nominations may be sent to the secretary with the permission of the nominee. It will be regrettable if it is impos~ible to persuade suitable Guiders to undertake the responsibilities of office. It is granted tnat the ideal situation would be "one Guider one job," but in this case it is unavoidable that some-
one will have to undertake a double duty. How" ever, the most arduous part of the work has already been done by the Guiders' Committee, and the new committee should have only routine work to do. It is to be hoped that thos.! Guiders who make use of the Club will not expect others to run it for them. LIST OF FURNISHINGS NOT YET DO ATED.

The Badge Display in N.S.W. (Extract from "The Waratah"). May 17, 18, 19 saw the Badge Display in full swing. Never have there been such scenes of energy and of ingenuity u~bou.nded as in t~e previous days of preparation In Mark Foy s Empress Rooms, and the display itself spoke volumes for the amount of thought and labou~' spent for months beforehand. '. . From Wednesday, when Lady DaVId o~clally opened the display, .thel~e was a c.ontmuous stream of people mOVIng In and out, Interested in everything, from the disp.lay of horse~a;n ship given by the country GUIdes on the splnt.. ed grey horse near the entrance to the Hall, to the wonderful toadstool which stood before the Brownie House. The Campcraft and Hiking section was very attractive-a source of wonder to folk who have never camped with Guides. H ere in an enclosure was a sleeping tent - so cosy.hospital tent, equipped for all. emergencIes, patent bath cubicle, complete. WIth bath mat, a patent incinerator, many dlffe!ent types. of fires and display of hike COO~Ing and hIke shelters-the centre of attractIOn to a great many people all keen to know more. The me~u on the gum tree trunk called forth great dIscussions, and thrifty housewives were charmed with the vegetable stand and other gadget3 which help to make Q.M.'s work easier. Nearby stood the Barn in which the Carpenter's, Cyclists', Handywoman's, Cobblers, Electrician's and Leatherworker's Badges wel~e demonstrated. Hessian, brown paper and tItree bark made the Barn very effective. Benches packing cases, sacks apparently full of chaff' and potatoes, boxes of fowls' food, a saddle and harness, miscellaneous tools, and sundry small objects-even including a stu~ed cat and plasticine rats-made the place qUIte barn-like in appearance. And do we farm? We do! The model poultrv farm, piggery, and dairy leave no doubts about that. Then the nursery-with baby's wardro~e, made from small cases, with his woollies Inside his bassinet, his food in fly-proof safes, all the nursery furniture, white ~namelled, and the playthings-all made by GUIdes and Rangers. Next the kitchen and then the laundry. In the kitchen stood a table with preparations for an evening meal-an enamelled dresser made oi butter-boxes, a handsome black stove , fire

and shining door knobs, vegetable cupboard, and two substantial wooden chairs. Here also were jams and preserves and a show ca~e with food cooked by individual Guides. Across the way was the Ranger House Boat -complete in itself-with three cabins, a kitchen, bath cabin, and a bed-living room, all completely furnished by the Rangers. One entered by the steps over a surging green seaand found in the kitchen that all utensils have been made-the stove and sink from kerosene tins, safe and table of wood, saucepans, billy, griller, egg beater, all complete. The bath cabin boasted an ingenious shower, with a charming screen of green and white tile-like squares, and two green string curtain;:; at the window. The living room-twelve feet by sixteenshowed the taste of the decorators! Green curtains with applique cream flannel flower;; hunG from the four windows, and across the wardrobe. In one corner hung a hammock, and under this was a rug plaited from pieces of old silk dress-materials. Here, too, was an ottoman made from packing cases, and covered with green to match the curtains, and a wonderful patchwork quilt. There were four rush-seated stools, and a delightful easy chair made from an empty barrel. Altogether, it looked a very fascinatinglittle place. The Brownie House had a Brownie garden growing in front of it, and inside on>:! found delightful Brownie-sized furniture anJ ornaments. The Shop was supported by many different districts, and it showed a great variety of useful things. During each afternoon a concert was held, items contributed mostly by country guides, and at night came the Dance Pageant, ill which the Progress of Dancing was traced from the times of the Druids, when it was more a religious ritual, ending with modern ballroom dancing, with all the various costumes of the many stages. The Pageant was produced by Miss Davies, and the music was arranged by Miss Meek and Mrs. Blain. The Handcraft section was arranged in a series of stalls. In one, Blind Guides were engaged on Braille work; next door busy Guides were fashioning leather purses and bags. Lace makers and spinners and weavers were to be found-the spinners and weavers workingboth from carded wool and the greasy fleece. The vest, scarf and mittens knitted from wool prepared by the Guides, and the woven rug,; and scarves, were very fine. Toymakers, cobblers, raffia workers, basket makers- they were all there, and made a thoroughly interesting display. [A Public Display in any other State is much the same.-Ed.]

Trees in Winter. (By J.H., in "The Age," JUly 18, 1931). Winter time in town does not present many o}:IPortunities for en,joying the wonders of nature, yet nevertheless an outstanding' fe ature of this season is the chance of ~tudyi n g the architecture of leafless trees. An hour's walk with this purpose in view may prove most interesting, and reveal other 'delights a.:l well-perhaps the sight of a speckled thrush singing from a topmost bough, or a host of la st season's nests which before had been screened by leaves. And what could be more picturesque than the delicate tracery of branches when viewed against a clear winter's sky Oi' the brightness of a glorious sunset? The main difficulty with regard to street trees is that the majority of them are pruned so often that their original shape is spoilt, and recognition is then more difficult. Undoubtedly there are people who like to have a tre'l cut to a pattern, but I am sure that moso true tree lovers prefer to see a tree displaying all its native characteristics. We can improvl;) little on nature's handiwork in this respect, and it is a pity that so many of us are unable to appreciate the natural beauty of a tree which gives it individuality and character. The tree which is planted most extensively in town is the Oriental plane, for it appears to thrive well in the city atmosphere. It is one of the easiest of trees to recognise from its system of branching. The main trunk is usually carried to the summit of the tree, and from this the branches are given off in a l'egular and even manner. The outline of the plane resembles a wide-shaped cone, the top oi which corresponds to the tip of the tapering trunk. The lower branches are the widest and most horizontal, the remainder gradually be. coming a little shorter and inclining more towards the upright position until the apex is reached. At this time of t h e year the slender branches are hung with brown balls, which is a further clue towards identification. They are composed of scores of hairy seeds, and if one be broken the wind will immediately cause the seeds to float away. Birds often eat these seeds in winter time, and crimson Tosella';.

with the left, and then with the right; Tawny and Pack Leader can signal the number of runs scored, according as the ball falls in front of the one, two, three or boundary, and B.O., by noting the scores, can see at a glance how far each Brownie can throw, fot" she has measured the distances of each line befor", marking it. By having two lines-for points and goalsthe game can be played by football enthusiasts. B.O. decides how many turns each player may have-i.e., innings or quarters. The game may be played as a team game, .on~ ~ide stl·iving against the other-or for mdlvldual performances, or simply as a game to see who can improve her score. As Tawny or Pack Leader has to throw the ball to the Brownie, there is practice in catching as well. L.T. "If your face wants to smile, let it. If it doesn't, make it."

Why are you called B.O.? Are there Brownies in other places? Why can't uniforms be worn as soon as recruit joins? On answering these question the childre"l found they could ask any particulars, and not be ridiculed for their ignorance, or forgetfulness . Sometimes also it helps shy recruits wh on hearing other children asking questions gain confidence and also incidentally learn quite a lot about the Pack and Brownies. H.B.
ANNOUNCEMENT! Be sure to keep Friday evening, 14th or 21st July, FREE to come and hear Miss J. D. Ross, of the A.T.T.I., who has consented to tell us "all about children-and Children's Books." We want to make sure of a really good muster, so be sure to come! Supper 3d.
The Surprise-Caps. A Brownie Pack in a chair table institution were given caps and this is how their Brown Owl gave them to the Brownies. "Once upon a time there was a Brown Owl. The Fairy Queen invited her and h~r pack to Fairyland. When the Brownies arrived they found fairies (T.O. and P.L.) with golden wands in their hands, who played games with them, while the Fairy Queen showed B.O. the fairy treasures. One Brownie climbed a fairy tree and tore a hole in her sock, but a fairy with a wand waved it, and darning needles appeared, and she showed them how to darn. A little later, another Brownie went out in a fairy boat and lost her oars. Now the Brownies had brought their skipping ropes with them, but they were of different thickness and too short to be of use, so the fairies showed them how to join the ropes together, and the Brownie was rescued. "While they were waiting for the Fairy Queen, they played games and sang songs, and the Fairies told them of their work-how they painted the flowers and helped the birds with their nests. And had any of the Brownies seen their work? Then the Fairy Queen came and with her was a mysterious parcel. She called one small Brownie to open it, and behold! a cap for every Brownie! Then she said good-bye, and calJed a fairy train to take them t o earth. And the Brownies l·an quickly home to tell their parents where they had been." L.T.
An Idea Which has worked wonderfully in our Pack! Ask all the Brownies to think out during the week any questions they would like to ask, and write them down on a lip of paper. On next Pack Meeting day, have a nice cardboard box, and ask them to post the questior.s in it. B.O. opens the papers in Pow-Wow, reads out t he questions and gives the answers required. N .B .-These are some questions Brownies asked:-
World Bureau News. The World Bureau has resumed its normal activity after a brief pause at Easter. Preparations for the World Committee meeting at the Chalet in June are nearly complete, agendas having been circulated to all members, tot-c., etc. Money for the Thinking Day Fund is still coming in. Contributions have now been received from twenty-nine countries, and the grand total to date is £432 / 14 / 4. The meeting of the Quo Vadis Council, which is to take place at the Chalet just before the World Committee Meeting, is arousing keen interest in many places. Fourteen countries will actually be represented. Others have circulated the question ·, sent out by the Quo Vadis sub-committee to their Guide and Girl Scout leaders. These countries will, if possible, send written opinions to the Quo Vadis Council. The countries which will be represented are· Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Great Britain, Hungary, the Irish Free tate, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Suomi-Finland , Switzerland, and th ~ United States of America. For a r~port on the meeting of the Quo Vadis Council see the July Council Fire.
The Council Fire. Brownie Leaders are reminded that the October C.F. will be another special Brownie number, containing programmes of Pack meetings i.n Lithuania, and descriptive articles on "Imagination in the Pack," "The Transfer 01 Brownie into Guide," etc. Advance orders al'e of great assistance to the editor in calculating the total number of copies likely tb be required. It is. hoped that this number will also contain reports on th3 Gilwell Training Course in Sweden, the Swedish National Camp, and other important Guide and Girl Scout Meetings.

Denmark. DET DANSKE PIGOSPEJDERKORPS. During the Easter Week-End this Association held a most interesting training COll rse for Guiders and Patrol Leaders at the Headquarters Guide School in Korinth, Island of Fyen . More than 250 trainees attended. They came from all parts of Denmark which, as most people know, consists largely of islands of very varying sizes. On some there is only onc Guide Troop; on others room for manv more. One Guider came from Bornholm Island. twelve hours by sea from any other part of the country. The training consisted of lectures and of practical work. It was most amusi ng to go from group to group in the different parts of the school-out into the yal'd-into the bip'" marquee, which some of us remember as the "rendez-vous" kindly supplied by the Danee; for the Guides of many countries on wet day;; at the Scandinavian Camp in Finland two years ago--into the topmost attic of the school. Everywhere intent faces and busy finger ' showed in what an interesting way the B.P. methods were being taught, to be -carried across channels and bays to the childl'en C'f thi<; sea-bound country. A talk on the World Association, which also showed the value of the international asoect of the Movement in inculcating a sense of national responsibility and patriotism, was given by the Editor of the Council Fire. Two wonderful talks by the Chief Commissioner, Mis::; Flagstad, on "Discipline" and "The Law and Promise" will be remembered by all who heard them. We hope to publish a precis of t.hem in the Council Fire, as these talks will be of value to the whole World Movement. On one day the programme included "Four Hours with Nature," during which the whole Course was divided into groups of 50. The P-TOUPS weflt from point to point carrying out the instructions they found at each halting place. Geology, forestry, and "How to obtain food and warmth with the most primitive mac terials" were included in the four-hours ' wOl'k out of doors.
K.F.U.K. Spejderne ] Danmark. (Extract from letter from Miss Hansen, dated 1st March, 1933) . "I send you a copy of our Rules and Constitution, which has just appeared in a new edition. One of the new things is that we receive Brownies from 6 years (8 before), and Guides from 11 (12 before). Of course the plans for the Brownie work are chang-ed.

10 / 6 /33 . Dear Matilda, What is all this about Brownies, who have come up to the Company and are now Tenderfoot, being called things??? Surely the Company cannot find anything half so thrilling as the exciting names they have been called as Brownies-and isn 't it rather a pity to single out Brownie Tenderfoot from other Tenderfoots by giving them a special name?
