ARTS AND GRAFTS EXHIBITION THE WITNAM HAll.

TEESDALE GIRL GUIDES' EFFORT. Last Saturday afternoon Mir Tcnrdale Division of Gi r l

Guides held an arts and era;: xiribiiicm in the Witham Hall , Barnard Castle, there bein? an excellent attendance. In village industries, Guide work was on show and sale, there were half-hour concerts and war tea. Many Boy Scouts and influential local residents were present, together w i t h G i r l Guides from Middleton, Mickleton. Romaldkirk R ' laniard Oastle. Mr G. Bainbridge was Jn<1?e of wi ld fl< rs ; Mrs Addison, baskets ; Mrs Dawson ami Mrs J . G. Hul l , needle­work, laundry and hard and soft toys. Mrs Addison and Mrs Mills arranged the exhibition ; Mrs Pierse the entertainments, and the main general helpers were Mrs Borrowdale and Mrs Hal l . Tho task of judging was difficult. Miss Mills distributed the prizes according to the following

Awards: fceedlework—over 14 years, Moll ie Burnie ; under 14 years, Siynda Harris. Socks—M Hall , aged 12,43rd Durhams. Mit ts —Gladys Wall, aged 8, l s t Durham?. Blouse (officers)—Lieut Lowson. Soft toys—H Down, aged 16, l s t Durhams, for elephant. Toys (Patrol)—lst, Barnard Castle, for doll's house. Best six knots—Brownie 1. Guide law—lst, Jean B e l l ; 2nd, Nannie Borrowdale. Laundry—Edith Hodgson, Rtfod 13.

The one impressive feature of the gathering was the fresh, vigorous and healthy appearanoe of the Guides, one and a l l , from breezy Teesdale. and the sustained enthusiasm of the leaders throughout the afternoon's activities. The effort was thorough, and the enterprise was manifestly luxurious under gentle restraint, hope elevating and joy crowning the exertions of the happy band. Neat, tidy, cheerful and orderly were a l l the guides, and their work was most praise­worthy, being a tribute to the exhibitors* ski l l and also to their teachers. A doll's house, made of card-board, was a very ingenious production, and a dressed guide doll showed taste and was highly imitative. The t iny beds were pretty, and the caligraphy and useful and fancy articles, and well-grown f ru i t and vegetables were attractive.

The Rev H . Feck, Curate of St Mary's, Barnard Castle, in introducing Mrs Field, of Lartington Hall , said the doctor had ruled that i t was impossible for the Vicar to be present that afternoon, and, in deputising Mr Bircham, the speaker said he was a scoutmaster, and had been for a long time, although he did not know much about Gi r l Guides, yet he felt sure the audience would go away that afternoon feeling that they could do a great many useful things. They would be delighted to see s i many members of the corps prpsent. Personally he had no idea that they were in such strong force. He now asked Mrs Field, who, early i n local residence, had associated herself w i t h the movement, to open the exhibition. (Applause).

Address by Mrs Norman Field. Mrs Field, who was well received, said : I t gives me great

pleasure to be here to open this excellent show of arts and crafts. I feel sure you have a l l worked hard to have been able to have such a splendid display. I have always found, since being connected w i t h G i r l Guides, that what tbey set out to do they carry through w i t h success. What a splendid thing i t is being a guide ! I know I should hate i t i f 1 had to •ive up being one. What a lot of interesting and useful

knowledge guiding teaches. Being prepared is a very important lesson we are taught, and, i f we remembered our motto in our daily life, we shall find how i t helps us. One of my guides tripped up and fell last winter, during that frosty spell we had, and a crowd rushed aa they always do. Two men started to pick her up- She turned to them and said : " I am a guide, ar.d we are taught first aid, don't l i f t me, my leg is broken." She told them what to do, and so saved her leg from further damage, through being prepared. Well, girls, I won't keep you longer. I hope to hear later that you have kept up the g i r l guide reputation of making a success pf whatever they undertake, (applause).
