prepared also to give talks, sometimes
illustrated by slides, about their home
land.
“One of the great things about being an
IF Y E host family is that you don't have to

out, “because the delegates come wanting
to share in your life, your usual work and
leisure activities."
This year. Oregon expects to host six
to eight IF Y E delegates beginning in
May, Miss Redman adds.
“I t would be ideal to be able to select

delegates can sample a variety of Oregon
family life styles," she explains.
