Nestleton UCW Afternoon Unit Meets in February The meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Emerson, of Nestleton. As members were welcomed to this unique home they were pleasant- ly greeted by many works of Art that the members of this talented family have created. Leader Jean Williams welcom- ed everyone and voiced her ap- preciation to Anne Emerson for inviting members of the UCW in- to her home. Jean read a poem entitled 'Life is a Treasure." As it was close to Valentines Day Jean explained that the "roll call" should be a poem or story based on Love. As Anne was presenting the devotional as well as the pro- gramme Jean then turned the meeting over to her. The first two verses of hymn, "Love Divine, All Love Excell- ing"...were sung...then the Scrip- ture reading was from 1st Corin- thians - Chapter 13. Anne gave a very sincere and thoughtful devo- tion based on Love conveying the thought that if we haven't love we haven't much of anything...especially so if we don't love God. The second hymn was "Thine Forever Godl of Love." Music for the hymns was supplied on tape by Mrs. Gwen Malcolm. The devotional was closed with Prayer. Anne then began her pro- gramme...using as her topic "highlights" of a trip she had to Guatemala...a few years ago. She presented a very informative talk on the Culture of the country showing a lovely piece of Tapestry depicting the Quetzal bird which is the national bird of Guatemala. She explained that the children learn to weave the beautiful tapestry at a very ear- ly age as some of them are getting quite adept by the time they are five years old. . Two picture albums were pass- ed around to coincide with what she was telling the members so it made it easier to understand. There were pictures of houses, churches and the terrain of the country. There were lakes, beaches and several pictures of the different kind of markets which Anne enjoyed very much. It was Easter when they were there which is the most religious of all the holidays for the people of Guatemala. The girls and women scrub themselves thoroughly especially their hair which must be silky and very shiny. MR.

Slides of these crea- tions were shown and found to be very interesting. Anne was wear- ing a creation of a much different nature but also very beautiful. She brought home a beautiful piece of tapestry such is used to make wedding gowns in Guatemala and had a dress made for herself. The bodice was made of the tapestry and the skirt in a contrasting shade of plain material. They make pottery there too...but it is made by hand and is fired by building a real live fire around the object. Anne car- ried one of these pots all the way home...and that's literally. In taxis, through Airports and on the plane as well...and the ladies had the pleasure of admiring it all through her talk. Leader Jean Williams thanked Anne for her delightful indepth talk of this very interesting coun- try. A short business period was carried out...then joining hands all repeated the Mizpah Benedic- v vi 25 ve Now you can get the extra meas in total swine performance pigs/sow/ year 2.6 feed conversion 160 days to market 105 index Vf 2.5 litters/sow)/ year See your Shur-Gain Service Centre for more information today! tion, to close the meeting. The social time was enhanced by freshly brewed coffee, sand- wiches and squares as they all sat around the cosy fireplace.

Nestleton Presbyterian Church The regular morning service in Nestleton Presbyterian Church was conducted at 11 a.m. by Rev. D. Kemble...retired minister from Peterborough. The organist was Mrs. Shirley Scott. Psalm 98 was read responsively and Scrip- ture passage Jeremiah 23 and St. Luke. The sermon wgs based on the text -- "Heaven and earth shall pass away - but the word of God shall never pass away." Some worthwhile thoughts on...""What is this world coming to?"

Swann is still recuperating from heart surgery and hopes to be returning in the spring. € Port Perry Feeds Ltd. 40 Vanedward Drive, Port Perry - 985-7363 H & M Wright Feed Co.
