AuburnThe news from Compiled by Mildred Lawlor Phone 526-7589 Guest talks of Costa Rica The UCW met on June 20 at 8 p.m. with a good attendance.

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.
