Continues Study of Brazil LAKELET-Fifteen members of McIntosh United ChurchWo- men responded to the roll call, "A Mother I Respect", at the May meeting, which was held at the home of Mrs. Jack Fer- guson last Wednesday evening. The worship and study portions of the meeting were both con- ducted by Mrs, James Renwick and Mrs. Ivan Haskins. In further study of Brazil, it was learned that there is great inequality of wealth there and unfortunately the rich show no inclination to share with the poor. Illiteracy is a serious problem with only half of the population able to read and write and there is little hope for improvement for even if schools were available, there would not be sufficient teach- ers. Health conditions are ag- gravated by impure water sup- plies. Malaria and tuberculosis remain the principal causes of death. There are only two hos- pital beds for every one thous- and inhabitants compared to 6.4 here in Canada. Such con- ditions should not be disregard- ed, The members are reminded to take contributions for the bale to be packed at the June meeting. Lunch was served by the committee in charge.
