Evelyn Matthison and Verna
Strathdee, Avonton, presented the In
Memoriam for 14 Members who had

arrangement.
Eleanor Richman, Cromarty,
introduced the guest speaker, Lillian
Spading, Staffa. Lillian returned in
the fall from teaching a senior girls'
school in Malawi. WEaring a dress
made from Malawi material, she told
of the situations and problems of the
women of Malawi.
Malawi is one of the world's
poorest countries and has a
population of over 10 million,
located in rural areas. They have to
depend on outside sources for help
with their poverty. Their life
expectancy is about half of that of
Canadians.
The women of Malawi carry most
of the burdens, working in the fields,
carrying wood on their heads, often
with a child strapped on their backs
as well. •
AIDS is a big problem and
orphans are often raised by extended
families. Many children are raised
by a mother only. There is a great
need for teachers, .especially ones
who can stay for a whole year. But
there is no money to send them.
Primary education is free and
compulsory but it is difficult to get a
basic high school education.
Ruth Ward, Monkton, thanked the
speaker.
