Isobel Jones and Anita Dubeau Convenors Quota Club of Huronia Korean students wish to correspond Dear Sir: It is my great pleasure to write to you. I expect you will be pleased to accept my appeal regarding oversea pen pals for our students. Iam an English teacher in a noted high school in Pusan. Korea. This school has about 2,500 students of both sexes. I am eagerly seeking foreign students who would like to correspond with our students. There are many Korean students who want to exchange letters and friendship with foreign pen friends, and they frequently request me to let them have A salute to Ont. nurses Dear Sir: Every year a week is set aside in Ontario for "Nurses Week". This year May 4 to the 9 has been chosen. The Ontario Nurses Association is sponsoring the activities planned for "Nurses Week", 1981. The theme for the week will be "Discover Nur- sing" Nurses in our community are planning activities to inform and educate the public to the many fields and services in which they are involved in our area. Displays and information will be presented by manv of the local health facilities at Huronia Mall on Mav 8 and 9. Bv the end of the campaign, it is hoped that the public will be more familiar with the various aspects of the profession and the facilities available in our community. Helen Newman President Ontario Nurses Association Local 188 foreign pen friends. Through out my foreign language teaching career. I've noticed this would help not only their English and emotional life, but also expand their knowledge of foreign lands. This would also promote world wide friendship and mutual relationship as well as serving as a true foundation of world peace. I feel it is necessary to publish this simple wish among the boys and girls of the world, therefore, I courteously request you to run this letter in a corner of your valuable paper. The only information I need of a student is his or hers' name, address, sex, age, hobbies and picture if possible. I expect to receive many letters from your readers wishing to correspond with our students (welcome group or class requests). I will appreciate it very much if you let me have the chance to do this for my students. This would be a warm and thoughtful favor. Awaiting good news. I remain.
