two pictures of the early troop; one

up Oliver Street beside the VOGUE.

Workmen are now tearing down the dividing wall
between the Vogue and the premises formerly occupied
by Lee’s Ladies Wear. When this work is completed, one
large store will occupy the main floor of the building.
This will be known as BRANDLY’S DRUG STORE. The
Vogue, which has been operated by Mrs. B. R. Brandly
since it was established in 1950, will cease to operate as
a separate business.

Our new quarters will give us a greater floor space
for merchandising display than our present location and

will result in better service for our customers.

. THE BATTLERS «

A branch of the Canadian Girl
Guides was organized last Wednesday
evening when about 30 girls met in
the banquet room of the Elks Hall.
Miss Pauline Wightman, who has
done Guiding in England and Van-
couver Island has kindly agreed to
organize the company and to act as
temporary leader.

Six patrols were formed and the
girls showed great enthusiasm in
learning their Promise and Law. Miss
Wightman explained many points on
Guiding and its aims. After some
practice marching in formation and
singing of the Guide Song the meet-
ing was dismissed to meet again the
following Wednesday at 7 p.m.

A meeting of the Mothers’ Associ-
ation followed to discuss plans to
provide training for new leaders so
urgently needed for both the Guides
and Brownies. Mrs. Yelland, a former
ysical Education Instructress, of-
fered to assist and will take the
course. It is hoped to ar-
range a study group for those inter-
ested in Leadership. Mrs. Ringwood
offered to teach dramatics to those
girls interested.

New members welcomed were Mrs.
Yelland, Mrs. M. Blenkinsop, Mrs. J.
Howe, Mrs. J. Halfnights.

Former Local Youngsters

Two former Williams Lake young-
sters, Lorraine and Frank Smith, now
living at Armstrong, have distin-
guished themselves in their first year
of junior calf club work. They have
been awarded the Shamson Trophies,

won the Kennedy cup at the Arm-
strong Fall Fair last year when his
calf, Mount Carpenter Lilly placed
first in a class of eighteen, and he
also won the Scott trophy for scoring
the highest number of points in the
Armstrong Ayrshire Calf Club in
yearly work competition.

Lorraine and Frank are the chil-
dren of Mr. and Mrs. Albert V. Smith.
Mr. Smith has been a breeder of pure-
bred Ayrshires for a number of years
