She had attended the 13th District Musnc Contest held iu North Liberty and found it a rewarding experience. An astonishing civilization which existed on our continent over 2500 year ago was revealed to the women as Mrs. Brede showed slides and narrated her recent trip through Central America. The Maya, a remarkable civilization which existed at that time collapsed, but the people remain today and in the forest clearings. Year after year ruins which were a part of that civilization, many still unearthed, continue to come under scrutiny.

Since jade is not found on this continent, the question always is, "where did it come from?" Central America countries arc prxir and the visitor can still find women washing clothes in streams and lakes while living close by in mud huts with thatched roofs. Then going a short distance one can be in a large dity with all modern conveniences. Traveling by the Indians is on foot and packs carried by o*en take their wares to town on fiesta and market days where coffee, jwttery, textiles, beans, lumber and flowers may be bought.

Most Central American countries griTw coffee, some have banana and sugar plantations, ami a few grow cotton and corn. El Salvador is the smallest country but the most densely populated and it is here the visitor can find a volcano on every horizon. According to Airs.
