and fauna of far-off Trinidad
Pictures of Trinidad were
shown by Mrs. Ross
Hargreaves of Thames Road
at the spring general
meeting of Hensall United
Church Women. Trinidad
was named by Columbus
Hensall
Hilda Payne
Bertha McGregor
when he , first sighted the
island and saw the three
mountain peaks which dis-
tinguish the landscape.
This is a tropical country
and vivid colours are por-
trayed in the flora and birds
of the region. There are over
300 varieties of edible
bananas and they are used
for many purposes as well
as eating. Once the beautiful
blossoms have fruited the
tree dies down and sends, up
new shoots from the ground.
Many recipes contain
bananas and coconuts which
are also prolific. Furniture
is made from the locally
grown mahogany trees and
houses are mostly built on
stilts to allow free circula-
tion of air underneath.
Trinidad is, of course, -also
famous for its steel bands of
drums made from old oil
barrels.
For entertainment, Betty
Beer sang four numbers,
"Blue Eyes", "Crying in the
Rain", "Sing me back
home" and "Why me,
Lord?" accompaning
herself on the guitar and
Mrs. Sadie Hoy and. Hilda
Payne gave a dialogue, "The
Lord's Prayer".
The devotion was led by
Mrs. Helen Scane and
focussed on hope and faith.
Spring and Easter each
signify hope, and faith is the
awareness of Jesus Christ as
the living Lord - the
message of the resurrection.
The test of faith is action in
a time of crisis.

came by, was a folder from the University of Guelph
outlining "Summer Campus '78".
For a family who are tired of the traditional
summer holiday, this would appear to be one great
alternative.
For two weeks during, the university offers
courses from bookkeeping to parenting in sports for
older teenagers and adults plus a wide range of ac-
tivities for the younger set.
The prices for on -campus accommodation and for
the courses are quite reasonable. Additional informa-
tion is available from the Office of Continuing Educa-
tion, 145 Johnston Hall, University of Guelph, Guelph,
Ontario.
Universities are nice places to be around but
they're especially great during the summer when you
can appreciate their natural and man-made beauty
with out running onto someone. In my books Guelph
has one of the best looking campuses around,
