IsI !F.U. Youth
Exchange' Will
Be Continued
by G. Austin .
For the past two years the Nat-
ional Farmers Union has received
su bstantial grants from the Depart-,
ment of the Secretary of State
which made possible two large

ively. •
• This year , dile to budget limit-
ations, all organizations'
formulating projects on a national
scope , are asked to reduce the

result Local 335 , as well as all
other Locals, will be able to send
only one young person on the

The east-west exchange will
take place in July. The young
people Will travel by train to the
host region, and spend ten 'days
in the home of an N.F.U. farm,
family, Following the exchange
all of the exchange participants
from across Canada will be
brought together for a seminar in
