Oregon as they board a plane
for Japan July 22 for a month
of adventure and international
understanding. Steve hopes to
visit in the home of the
Japanese student who lived
with the Curtis family last
summer under the Labo
exchange program.
Trish Mahoney looks for
ward to July, too, when a
Japanese guest will arrive to
spend a month with the
Mahoney family. Trish's Labo
guest will travel with the
Wasco County group, but
spend her time at the Mah
oney ranch. So, although we
are not a "host county" this
summer, we will have a
continued cultural exchange

send in your application as a
host family for an Internation
al Four-H Youth Exchange.
The IFYE's will be coming in
to Oregon during the summer
months, and more host fami
lies are needed. It is a great
way to learn about another
country. ..by sharing your
