ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY The Americans Abroad selection committee of the adult AFS chapter has been interviewing applicants from the junior class who are interested in a year of study abroad. The committee takes great care in these interviews to find a candidate who meets high standards of intelligence, conduct and maturity, and from this group of exceptional young people, AFS New York will select finalists to be placed in approved private homes all over the world. The number of finalists is limited only by the availability of host families abroad. The travel expense of the American student is largely borne by his own family, while his school and living expenses abroad are assumed by his host family. All things being equal, a year of foreign study is a "plus" on the record of college-bound people, and most foreign credits will be acceptable for college entrance, but the committee suggests that underclassmen who may wish to take part in the program should plan to complete as many requirements as possible by the end of their junior year. After concluding the Americans Abroad applications, the adult chapter will again begin a search for McHenry families who would accept a foreign student for the 1965-1966 academic year. Anyone who would like more information about taking a student into their home, please contact Mrs. Charles Liebman, president of the local chapter. The choice of family will be made early this year. Contributions to AFS ard tax deductible, and can be sent to Mrs. Liebman or to Eugene Brooke, faculty sponsor of the high school AFS club. Students from McHenry Community high school are selling Christmas cards this season to finance the AFS student exchange program in the community. The cards, in six different styles designed by young artists in the AFS group, are available for immediate delivery. The sale will be directed by members of the AFS club including Jerry Buch, Ginny Grek, Lynn Krebs, Paul Liebman and Jerry Luciano. £ FOR CHRISTMAS Make it a musical Christmas!

So many people advise setting the pot i pan filled with water so ^y6u don't hurt leaves. But watered from thebettom this way stands a good chance of being "over-watered." Unless the plant needs a constant source of moisture at its roots, and the soil consistency is right, you should never leave your potted plants stand in water. Don't those French recipes sound delicious? Well, why not try one -- say, Blanquette de Veau (FRENCH VEAL STEW). Cut 3 lb. shoulder or leg of veal into 1%" cubes. Put meat into boiling water (just enough to cover) along with a carrot, 1 clove of garlic, V*. tsp. thyme, 1 tsp. salt, and an onion stuck with 2 cloves.
