Native Australian
Speaks at Meeting
Of Baptist Women
Miss Wilma Peacock, a native
of Australia, made an interesting
talk at the monthly meeting of
the Evelyn Leonard Circle of the
Ludford Memorial Baptist church,
held Monday night of last week
at the home of Mrs. Ed Long.
Mrs. Bert Bishop, circle leader,
was in charge of the meeting.
Miss Peacock is visiting Mrs.
Nora Hughes and son in Plym
outh.
Australia, known as “The Land
Down Under." was described as
the largest island or smallest con
tinent in the world. Interesting
facts were given on the habits and
customs of the aborigines, who
number about 48.000 of the total
population of 7.750.000. Climate,
flora, fauna. government—the
means of “White Australia” pol
icy—the strong link with the Brit
ish Empire, religion, education,
products and industries: enter
tainment and home life were dis
cussed at some length by the
speaker.
Miss Peacock described her
trip across the Pacific by air
plane. accomplished in 29 hours
flying time, with 15 hours of sight
seeing in Fiji. Canton Island, and
Honolulu. In the past five months
Miss Peacock has spent a month
touring in Florida, where she vis
ited many well-known tourist at
tractions. She also has made
numerous trips to other points in
the eastern part of the United
States. Miss Peacock has only
one month left before her visitor's
visa expires. She plans to visit
other places of interest on her trip
to San Francisco, from where she
will fly back to Australia.
Asked what she will remember
best of all her wanderings, Miss
Peacock said "Despite the scenic
beauty and wonders I have seen,
it is the friendliness and hospital
ity of the American people that
has impressed me most, and I
shall always feel eternally grate
ful for the abundant kindnesses
shown me during these pleasant
months spent in your great coun
try.”
Further in the program Miss
Pauline Lucas, of Durham and
Plymouth, gave an interesting
the picnic held at the Norman
Smith Beach in Tyrrell County
