Girl Guide Irene LaPrairie, Maryland Drive, recipient of the
*‘Canada Cord’’, the highest award presented to a guide.

LOCAL GIRL WINS AWARD
The ‘Canada Cord’’, the highest award a Girl
Guide can earn, was awarded to Miss Irene
LaPrairie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.J. LaPrairie,
Maryland Drive in Sidney, by Mrs.'E. Garrison, Area
Commissioner. The award presentation was made at
a Banquet held at Holyrood House, Victoria, on
. Wednesday evening, 24 March 76, in honour of all
the Guides of lower Vancouver Island who earned
this award.
The ‘‘Canada Cord’’, itself, which is a special Red
| and White Cord, for the Guides, was presented to
Irene, by Mrs. Dorothy Lee, Division Commissioner,
| at the Mother and Daughter Banquet in February,
which was held at Sanscha Hall.
This award, accumulates 8 years of dedicated work
in the Guide Organization: Irene spent 3 years as a
Brownie, 5 years as a Guide, 3 years as a Brownie
Leaders Helper, and is currently a Ranger with the Ist
Saanich Ranger Company.
Some of the work required to earn this award is
. difficult and varied. They must have a thorough
knowledge of the Guide Organization, plus their local
| organizations and take an active part in their com-
munity affairs. They spend many days camping and

are required to have a sound knowledge of
Wilderness Camping and many more outdoor ac-
tivities. They spend 15 hours of voluntary work ata
Hospital or rest home and work voluntarily for the
community whenever required. They must carn a
large number of Badges and Emblems in various
ficlds and most of all to become a responsible citizen
in. their community, to become good homemakers
and to experience the joy of service to others, These
' are just a few of the requirements needed, but to all
the girls who are presented with the ‘Canada Cord”’,

service to the Guide Organization.

Eventful Year For Sidney Silver Threads

‘It has been an eventful year
for the Sidney Silver Threads
reports Director Muriel
Ackinclose.

The membership is now up
to 625 persons and continues
to increase as more and more
people are becoming interested
in the recreation and en-
tertainment that the centre at
10030 Resthaven Drive has to
offer.

During the year, concerts,
films, dances, dinners and
excursions were held and many
courses and classes were ad-
ded.

Health
care,
discussion group and a

courses, in-home

curriculum.

The arts and crafts classes,
offering ceramics, quilting and ‘
painting take place weekly and
other craits such as weaving,
novelties, sewing,
dressmakiug, macrame and
knitting are gaining
popularity.

The instructors of the
courses, like others assisting at
the centre, are all volunteers
who donate their time and
energy to the members of
Silver Threads.

‘"We couldn’t operate
them,’’ = Mrs.
Ackinclose said of the more
than 150 volunteers.

Although classes will be
cancelled for June, July and
August, to give the instructors
a break, many activities will
continue, and there are trips
planned for the summer
months.

Special events will also make
the season a busy one with the
annual picnic in July, oc-
casional dances, a barbeque
and a Hawaiian luau planned.

The regular keep fit exercise
group will stay in shape for the
season and badminton and
volleyball will be scheduled as
usual.

LAW REQUIRES
BOATS CARRY
PROPER PLATES

The Canada Safety Council
draws attention to the law
requiring that every pleasure
boat 5m (16 feet) long, or
under, powered with an
outboard motor or motors
_totalling 10 horsepower or
more, carry a plate issued by
the Ministry of Transport
stating the maximum load and
horsepower recommended for
it.

The Ministry of Transport
recommended horsepower
capacities are based on the
trials of a large number of
outboard motorboats tested on
standard evaluation courses.
Canadian boat manufacturers
and importers participate in
these tests, held frequently for
the purpose of assessing the
performance of the latest boat
designs and comparing them
against the recommended
capacities,

Applications for these plates
are obtainable from any
Customs Office, Steamship
Inspection Office, or from the
Ministry of Transport,
Ottawa. Fill in all particulars,
ensuring that precise
measurements are entered in
all the spaces provided. -
