These two crops are comparatively new to the southwestern Ontario area. The library staff would be pleased to have you drop in to take a look at this interesting and educational display. Ethel Elliott Evening Group The first meeting of our new year was hell: at the home of Evelyn McNaughton. The president, Adele McCallum opened with a suitable poem followed by the singing of "0 Master, let me walk with Thee", and a scrip- ture reading from Galations 3:26-28. Another interesting poem and prayer were selected from "My Father's Garden" by Rev. Fred Miller. The new study on Central Africa was then introduced. Who is an African? is the ti- tle for the first segment through which we learned about the people in the 26 countries making up Central Africa. In order to learn the location of these countries, we were given flags to pin on each on a larger map of the whole continent. When we pieced together a jig -saw puz- zle to form the entire African nation, we really learned some geography. We were then handed a quiz sheet which, after learning the answers, revealed the need for us to study these central African. countries. An inter- view was then conducted by Adele (who played the part of a worker with the church in Nigeria) and Nell Tweddle (a Nigerian girl about age 20. ) This certainly gave us a good insight into the family, the home, marriage and living conditions in general. In a story about an 8 -year old girl, we learned that millet and . sorghum were their crops in this area and goats provided milk and meat. They wove mats to sell in the market . place to get enough money to buy medicines and food for the baby and other family members. The average fami- ly is seven children, although many of these do not live to grow up. Plans were made for future meetings and our thank offer- ing meeting on Sunday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. when Scott Walter, a brother of our Rev. Maureen McLeod - Walter, will show slides and tell of his experiences in the South Pacific Islands area which was our study this past year. In the correspondence the following invitations were noted: to the Centre Road W.M.S. an October 23 and to a Mission Rally at New St. James, London on October 22 and 23. Our group is selling Presbyterian caldendars again this year and they may be obtained from Marg Eagleson. Marg :.,o reported on the last Presbyterial ex- ecutive meeting, noting that there was a request for a member of the nominating committee to which Adele kindly allowed her name to be submitted. The next Presbyterial meeting for our area will be at Largie on November 17. Adele closed the meeting with a prayer from the booklet, "I lie on my mat and pray." The hostess served refrshments and a short time of fellowship followed which gave us the opportunity to hear about Alie Twynstra's recent three-week tour of southern European countries. The next meeting will be held at the same home on October 24. Mrs. Jean McLean of Little Springbank visited with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Turner. Mr. and Mrs. Turner at- tended the 50th wedding an- niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cox of Centre Road.
