IF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
would like to have a very exciting
school term next year why not
become a host for AF'S International
and Intercultural Programs, Dallas
Chapter?
You would welcome a student fro
a foreign country into your home.
The student, who would be between
the ages of 16 and 19, would attend
Dallas High School throughout the
school term. Fa
This is a won-
derful way to
learn about other
cultrues and to
teach those from
other countries
about ours. If you
would like to host

1 SAW A SHORT PIECE in a local
paper this week concerning a nurs-
ing robot developed by a Japanese
inventor. The robot is programmed
to respond to human voice com-
mands. This newest member of the
nursing profession may be efficient,
but that warmth and caring asso-
ciated with nursing would be
absent. How sad! Technology is
great but please let’s not replace
people with machines.
