Hess, Strasburg RDI, has
been selected ..by the na
tional IFYE committee „to
represent the county and the
United States in the unique
“work-andvisit” internation
al program.
Although the program has
government “blessing” in
the United States, it is sup
ported by private contribu
tions to help pay each dele
gate’s expenses.
*‘This method of opera
tion,” Rentschler points out,
“emphasizes the people-to
people good will factor- of
the ordinry working folk
digging down to help build
friendship between coun
tries"
“Our delegates earn a
good share of their expenses
by working on farms in otlu
er countries, plus contribu
ting many hours in prepara
tion for the trip and the time
involved in the trip. ’ he
added.
“Our local committee hopes
to raise at least $7OO for our
share, which will —not pay
near all of the cost. The rest
will come from contributions
