Two COLBORNE CHRONICLE, Thursday, January 14th, 1965 What a Break for Youth! With each week that passes prospects for centennial celebrations are becoming more promising, yet if they were to achieve little more than move young Canada from one coast to the other over the next few years through the sponsorship of the Student Exchange Travel Programme, Canada's one hundredth birthday will have been honoured in a most suitable manner. A report on my desk informs me that hundreds of young people who took part in the pilot programme have written to press their enthusiasm for the opportunity to know Canada better, which their 1964 travel and inter-provincial visits 'afforded When you try to analyse it, the project seems like a colossal undertaking. The objective how. ever, to establish a better understanding among Canadians, is tc be commended. Details of how this youth travel adventure was launched are interesting. Early last year, Milton L. Sinclair CN passenger sales representative in the Ottawa ticket office was asked to prepare individual itineraries for the students who would participate. At the same time, he prepared 3000 sleeping car tickets for those who would require this accommodation. Together the CN and Claude Brouillard, project planning officer for the youth travel scheme, planned each move in detail. Fourteen section cars were assigned and the first travelers to be chosen were organized in groups of 24 accompanied by two chaperones. The program will be expanded and it is expected that by the end of the centennial year some 30,000 teenagers will have benefited from the exchanges. 1964 Pilot Programme Dual Scheme On the one part, the Centennial Commission, which is the federal agency responsible for promoting interest in the centennial celebrations and for planning and implementing programmes and projects befiting the occa; awarded grants totalling $92,750 to some fifteen national organizations already engaged in youth exchange programmes, so that they might expand their activities in this field. The second aspect of the programme involved a federal-provincial arrangement whereby 936 high school students traveled to provinces other than their in 1964. Under this scheme, the federal government undertook to pay the travel costs from point of departure to point of .irriva and return, plus a $20 contribution to the provinces for each towards reception costs. The provincial government, on thu; other hand, agreed to look after selection of participants chaperones, to find host families for the visiting students, and to arrange interesting programmes and side trips for their guests. The Centennial Commissi also arranged special one-d programmes for groups sf.opping in Ottawa while en route. Cabinet ministers and Members of Parliament were invited to meet their young constituents whenever possible. The Commission also prepared and distributed evaluation questionnaires to all participants and provided each of them with these five advantages make electric heating the superior heating system completely clean Flameless electric heating can't create dust, dirt, film or soot, gentle, even heat Room-by-room or zone temperature control.
