The negotiations with the teachers which started the first of March were very amicable, Mr, Hill stated, He said the con- tract is for a one-year term, previously it was for a two-year period.

Urban-Rural Exchange is' on againl Now in its third summer, this program of- fers an opportunity for 12 to 15 year olds from farms and from cities to live in and learn about the other environment. In a typical exchange, an urban child will spend one week on a farm, followed by a week-long visit with the city family for the rural boy or girl. With the goal of increasing understan- ding between urban and rural families, each visitor will participate as a member of his or her host family, taking as much part as possible in that family's normal ac- tivities of the week. Hopefully the urban child's first-hand experience as "a farmer's Son or daughter" and the farm youth's week as a "city dweller" will help make them and their families more tolerant and knowledgeable of the other life-style, In this way, the program is both an oppor- tunity to learn and to teach a chance to find our the other's point of vie* as well as a chance to 'Show him how you see things.
