This province will receive one group of 24 high school students and 2 chapel-ones from Winnipeg for the riod July 17 to 23. A similar group from this province. will aooomm in Montreal and vicinity about mid-August. The students are within the ages of 15 to 18. . . It is the desire of the promobers of the program that the students be billoted in private homes, preferably where there are members of their own age group. It is proposed to have the visiting students from the province accomBa-nied, where possible, by students from the homes in which they are illeted. The hosts would be expected to serve the students breakfasts and an occasional evening meal. Families willing to provide free accommodation for these students are asked to write or phone (4-4226) the Department of Education as soon as possible. Two students to a. home would be preferred, but accommoda- tion for one would also be acceptable.
