All they needed was billets and a schedule of sight-seeing. He arranged a program that would exhaust an elephant; historical sites, band concert, dance, boat trip, canoe rides. And billets. There was no problem there. Our own kids were practically fighting over the visitors. One girl, who comes from a family of eight, snatched four of them. Kim arrived at our place with the two prettiest chicks from that entire high school: Sheila and Caroline. It was 11 p.m. they'd been on the road since five a.m., and were not only tottering, but a little shy. But we got along fine, and shooed them off to bed. The next three days and nights were enough to kill anybody over 20. The first day, they visited our school and completely disrupted the schedule, which everyone enjoyed thoroughly. By dinner-time, our two guests had lost all shyness and were giggling and talking frantically about what they were going to wear for five different events next day. Suggested curfew was 11 p.m. They went out with Kim and all three got in at three. Remember, these were city kids. They were used to concrete and asphalt and apartments. And here they were in a small town with green grass and blue water everywhere. And houses on big ' lots, with trees and shrubs and lawns and lilac bushes. Saturday night was the grand finale, with a beach party for the visitors and their teen-age hosts — about 120 people. Then. must have been 500 at it, as every teeny who could get out to the beach gate-crashed the party, I know, because I took the girls out to it and promptly lost them in the happy, milling mob. Party ended at five. Bus left at 6. In the a.m., that is. My wife kissed the girls. They gave us a thoughtful present, lugged all the way from Washington. I took them to the bus. Confusion and emotion were rampant, with tears flowing freely, and kids wildly writing down addresses. I got a big hug and kiss from Sheila and Caroline, stuck them on a bus and headed home for a few desperately-needed winks. Four nights and three days of people meeting other people and liking each other, andlearning something, and treating each other as individuals. Perhaps I forgot to mention it, but the visitors were all Negroes., By MRS. NORMAN LONG KIPPEN Mrs. H.
