All you have to do is phone 721 Exeter, local 298. Squadron Leader G, J. Swea nor, in ,charge of the entertain- ment, says: "We think the girls in this district are missing a wonderful opportunity by not at- tending otir dances for NATO students. It's a chance for them to meet' some of the best young men from the continent and from Canada. We canguarantee time because them a goodcause there e are always less girls than boys."

Some will be guests of embassies over Christmas but Were are many who will spend the festive days alone on the station, One Toronto restaurant has invited representatives from seven countries to a yule cele- bration on December 19.
