in Sharon Johnson of Shelton went to New Zealand last month as an exchange student under the American Field Service Americans Abroad program. She wrote about her experiences in this letter. Hi Everybody! It hardly seems like I've been here in sunny New Zealand for one month. The people are friendly, the land is hilly and green, and the weather is hot and sunny. Thirty-seven other AFS students and myself were greeted by a traditional Maori Indian welcoming ceremony. The speeches and songs were done in the native Mauri language and none of it was understood by us. The Maori's are very beautiful people with Polynesian features and dark brown skin. The songs and dances have much rhythm which expresses thoughts of war or peace.

Since I am child number eight, our brick house is quite large. My mum and dad enjoy gardening which is proved by lovely gardens of flowers and green lawns. Over a Kaimai mountain range is a 36-mile drive to the ocean. My family has a trailer there, and most of my before-school days were spent at the beach. The beaches are clean and sandy, and the water is warm. The waves, 10 to 15 feet high, are" perfect for body surfing. We travel there for the weekend every Friday afternoon when school lets out. One week before school started I was taken to meet my school headmaster, Mr. Reid. He arranged for me to be in Seventh Form, which is the New Zealand pre-university year. This year is not compulsory for students and the reason for attendance at this stage of school is to receive scholarship funds to the universities. There are 34 students in the Seventh Form, 17 boys and Ezra Benson to speak to Mormon meetings Ezra Taft Benson, eight years the secretary of agriculture in the Eisenhower administration will address the 780 Shelton and Elma members of the Mormon Church along with the 2,700-plus Olympia area membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints February 24 and 25. Elder Benson is a member of the Council of the 12 Apostles of the Morman Church and is a long time official of the Boy Scouts of America and director of the CPC International. He will bring a special message from Harold B. Lee, the president and prophet of the church, concerning the importance of strengthening and preservation of the home in combating outside influences that strike at the home and the sacred relationship of husband and wife and children and parents. To this end Elder Benson.has called a special February 24 conference of all church "heads-of-families" at 7 p.m. in the Olympia Stake House, located in Olympia at the intersection of North Puget and Yew streets. The February 25 general conference meeting will be held in the Olympia High School auditorium at 10 a.m. Benson will be the featured speaker. The public is welcome to attend. Ezra Taft Benson 17 girls. My classes include chemistry, biology, history, English, art and physical education. My time schedule is not the same each day. For instance, on Monday morning my first class of the day is biology, but on Tuesday I don't have biology until after lunch. This seems to cut down the dull, day-to-day routine, but it mixes everybody up. I wear a uniform along with 1,100 other students. Our school colors are green, maroon, and gold. The girls wear a green jumper, beige blouse, beige anklets, and'brown lace-up shoes. The boys wear gray shirts, gray shorts, gray knee-socks, and black shoes. On cool mornings the girls wear green blazers or green sweaters, the boys wear maroon blazers or gray sweaters. Being as I am a Seventh Former we have permission to design and make our own uniform, which we haven't done yet. Our school is big, with many buildings, even a swimming pool. Many people find humor in my accent and the way I spell and say some words. 1 find it funny the way they drive on the left side of the road and having the steering wheel on the right side of the car. At this time I would like to extend my appreciation to all of those who made it possible for my being here, my parents, friends, and the AFS adult and student chapters. A big thanks for all the wonderful going away gifts I received.

"With the environmental problems surrounding solid waste disposal, it is important that the county have this opportunity to consolidate all landfill operations at one site," Senator Sandison said. He said the bill will permit the county to exchange lands with the department of natural resources or a private owner to block up holdings for a landfill. "Lands received by the stale in the exchange," he said, "will be administered in the same manner as lands which were traded." The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for action, Senator Sandison said. Guaranteed Work Free Pick-up & Delivery Ins. Claims Handled 2226 Oly. Hwy.
