Over 50 attend Thartksgivirig service By Helen Owen On October 16, Gwen Pemberton, on behalf of the United Church ladies, welcomed about 50 ladies, and one or two gentlemen to \a Harvest Thanksgiving Service in, St. Andrew's United Church, Bayfield. The speaker for the evening was Jean Bennett and her subject was a summary of her experiences while on a three week visit to Central America. Her accounts of personal interviews with people from Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala emphasized the regimes of fear under which they lived - the brutalities perpetrated against innocent people and the struggles' which were being made to survive under such conditions. In addition she stressed the deplorable living conditions, the lack of food and the scarcity of water as well as the primitive housing conditions. Seeing these things with her own eyes, Mrs. Bennett, described the flimsy buildings in which families, very often large with many young children, endeavored to eke out a living from scanty crops, and often haunted by the fear of guerilla attacks, death and imprisonment. In each area she visited she encountered similar stories of hardship and suffering,• and yet the stories which she related were tinged with hope and determination for the future. In the series of slides which she used to illustrate her talk their was evidence of family commitment, efforts to produce crops and endure with the minimum of I encouragement. The sturdy attitude was perhaps best shown in the pictures of a 93 year old woman who walked all down the Mountain to meet Mrs. Bennett and her fellow travellers, and then climbed back again (leaving them far behind) to be there to welcome them to her home when they finally reached the top! The service included solos sung by Len Carter and an address by Mrs. Pemberton on the theme of `Prophets from the Old Testament to Today." At the conclusion of the meeting the audience had an opportunity to view examples of crafts which Mrs. B.ennett'had brought back from the trip.
