tho Provincial Girl Guides Associa- tion which takes’ place today at The Charlottetown ths following report to the Canadian Council of the Girl Guides Association, Toronto. submitted by the Provincial Girl Guide Commissioner, Mrs. Gordon f. MacDonald, will prove interest- ng:

"Our Guiding efforts in the pro- vince have been strengthened and stimulated this past year. Decen- tralization has been a keynote. Leadership still remains the most pressing problem Our province would welcome a discussion on this vital subject if possible at the Do- minion Annual Meeting."

"Is our present Guide program too ambitious for today's volunteer leaders to carry out successfully? Does this factor discourage many suitable persons from undertaking leadership in Guide work?

"Our three new Provincial Com- fﬂlllCQlr-JHHHIICG, Music and Hos- pitality, have proven most valuable additions.

llotsrs Reminded That Party ls Only Ono “lintalnted" lly Oommunlsm

OTTAWA, April 26 -—- The Pro- gressive Conservatlve Party has opened its "unique" national mem- bership drive with a reminder to Canadian voters that it was the only party “untainted" by Com- munism, "with the Liberals wooing the CCF. and the C.C.F. being sup- ported by the Communists. . " The drive itself was described by Richard Bell, national director of the party. as "unique in Canadian political history."

“Membership in the Party,“ snid Mr. Bell, "is open to all who sup- port Progressive Conservative prin- ciples. The party is n truly demo- cratic organization. and we sock to have the largest possible number of persons actively participating in its organization and direction.

one more indication of the now generally acknowledged fact that the party is ‘on the march’ to vic- tory in 1949."

As a guide for a number of people who want to join the party and help it but are inexperienced in politics, “a number of excellently compiled booklets have been releas- ed by the Ottawa offices of the party, and in one of ‘these the peo- ple are urged to take a hand in politics. They are told, that the po- litical parties are “your servants" also that. "it's your money that is being spent." Politics, the booklet emphasizes, is not a "dirty busi-

to join and help the Pro rcssive Conservative party one booklet de- clares that the P. C. Party stands alone as having been "untalnted by Communist support." It reminded Canadians that in the 1945 cam- paign the Communist party actively campaigned for Liberal candidates. and the Communists also showed favor for the C.C.F. program.

"With ths Liberals wooing the C. C. F." this booklet asserts, ' "and the C.C.F. being supported by the Communists, the Progressive-Con- servative party stands alone as hav- lng been true to its principlea—-the prlneiples of freedom, security and opportunity. We believe that these objectives can best be secured un- der a. system of private competitive enterprise."

"The Progressive - Conservative Party," the booklet states. "unlike the C.C.F., is a party of all classes. It draws support from labor and management, producer and con- sumer, and it recognizes that each has rights~that each has respon- sibilities. Society cannot benefit from class war-—it can progress only if we work as a team. Only a party which draws support from all walks of life can build a better Canada."

One million young Canadians vote for the first time in each Fed- eral election, another booklet aim- ed at enlisting the interest of young people asserts, and three out of every seven voters are under 35 years of age.

"Any political party,“ it con- tinues, "which fails to establish im- pressive support among iris im- portant group soon ceases to OI- at.’

"The purpose of this booklet." it continues, "la to help young Pro- gre lve Conservatives to win these votes. They will be the most im- portant aingls factor in winning the next election for the Progres- sive Conservative Party."

Than follows a vast amount of detailed information on how to form local organizations for the young people. Stilhanothcr book- let is a helpful guide to the for- mation of women‘ organisations.
