PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 16, 1986 -- 15 be'? was answered with a wide range of fruits and vegetables by members and visitors. Jean Adams gave many thoughts on planting seeds of different kinds when she replied to the motto: "Plant your seeds carefully to-day you are planting for tomorrow." Elizabeth Luke, the daughter of a member, gave a most interesting talk on her 6 month stay in Australia on a farm. There is no snow in Australia except on the mountains. Green fig and lemon trees grow in the back yard all year round. She and other students from many coun- tries spent a week at Agricultural College learning Australia. She was surprised to learn a field in Australia is called a paddock. She went on to say how different it was going from milking 11 cows at home to helping milk 160 cows at her home in WillowBrook. Thank you so much Elizabeth for sharing your experiences with us. We have a better understanding of farming in Australia. Your pictures were delightful. Next meeting will be at Blackstock 'Hall on October 1, at 1 p.m. Visitors are welcome.

The afternoon unit of the U.C.W. was held at the home of Florence Larmer. Following a very tasty dessert, Jean Adams opened the meeting with a poem, "How We're the Same."

A short business session was held followed by the Roll Call which was answered with a joke, a riddle or a short verse. Thelma Wright who was in charge of the programme, introduced Elizabeth Luke.
