Guest talks of Costa Rica
The UCW met on June 20 at
8 p.m. with a good attendance.
Maureen Bean welcomed everyone
and gave the Prayer to Worship.
The missionary hymn Where Cross
the Crowded Ways of Life was sung
and Ila Cunningham was pianist.
Grace Cartwright read the
scriptures from Acts 17. Kay Lapp
gave the devotional on the Mission
for the Millenium giving an idea of
the future of the church in this
changing world. Maureen then
introduced the guest speaker Miss
Susan Gross, who while working
with Canadian Crossroads
International, served in Costa Rica.
She lived with a'local family and
taught the children who she said
were adorable and very affec
tionate. The native people are poor
but very friendly. The language is
Spanish and Susan said a few
often-used words during her talk.
Bananas and coffee are the main
crops grown.
Susan's mother Mrs. Carmen
Gross and her sister Barbara came
to visit her there. Susan showed
excellent pictures of the country
taken as they toured it then. It is a
country of mountains, volcanos,
alive and active, and also fertile
land in the valley. There were
forests, both jungle and rain forests
and incredible trees covered with
Spanish moss. There are numerous
butterflies and an area filled with
hummingbirds of all varieties.
Growing rampant are impatiens,
hibiscus, calla lily, orchids and
many others.
Recently Costa Rica has become
a tourist attraction and no wonder
from the pictures the UCW had the
pleasure of viewing.
Kay thanked Susan and wished
her an excellent future in her work.
Collection was received by
Maureen and Grace, followed by
prayer. The hymn Jesus Saves
closed the worship and the meeting
was turned over to President Joyce
Bean, who opened with a thought
provoking reading.
Kathie Dunbar read the minutes
and they were approved. Discus
sion followed regarding work at
Camp Menesetung. There is to be a
special UCW Day at Saloam
United Church, London on July 23.
Registration is required by July 8.

and social half hour closed the

information to use in their fight to
eliminate their township as a candi
date site for the county landfill.

pleased with the efforts of the peo

"When this began, there were some

then the local people have turned
around 100 per cent. They are
bringing in all kinds of information
that might be used to eliminate the

One of the items brought to the
attention of the committee at the
recent meeting was a letter from
former and beloved West
Wawanosh native, author Harry J.
Boyle.
In his letter Mr. Boyle said he
was "appalled" when he heard that
his "boyhood haunt" might be
"invaded by the waste dumpers."
Mr. Boyle said he felt considera
tion should be given to retaining
some parts of the dwindling rural
sections of Ontario landscape,
adding that progress in the past had
