Its pur- pose was To give accurate knowledge of the United Nations Organization, so that, armed with this knowledge, they may return to their communities to arouse interest in the Organiza- tion. Elizabeth Forbes and John Gazzola were the representatives from the l.D.C.l. Their se- lection was made on the basis of efficiency in Grade l2 history. The Lions' Club of Inger- soll generously paid the expenses involved. The seminar consisted of lectures, films, and discussions on the achievements and the prob- lems of the U,N. Mr. David Ennels, liason of- ficer ofthe United Nations, New York, Dr. Har- vey and Dr. Gynne-Timothy of the U.W.O. were three of the many very interesting speakers. A dance, a banquet, and a visit to Fanshawe proved that the seminar was not all work and no play, When the four day seminar closed, all the students felt that it was worth while and that it had fulfilled its purpose, John Gazzola, Elizabeth Forbes, Grade l3 Page 'I8 Visites lnterprovinciules More students should take advantage of the opportunities which are offered by Visites lnterprovinciales. ln a few years the organiza- tion has accomplished a great deal in foster- ing better relationships and understanding be- tween the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. By a very simple plan visits can be arranged for any student who realizes the need of be- coming better acquainted with our neighbours. Last summer through Visites lnterprovin- ciales, I was very fortunate to have as a guest, Miss Nicole Goulet, from Quebec City. Nicole was not a perfect stranger to Ontario, having spent a summer in Toronto a few years ago. The maior purpose of her visits was to learn to speak English more fluently. ln a very short time we discovered we had many things in common and have continued our friendship through correspondence. lt Nicole is a typical example of a French Canadian, then l am anxiously awaiting the day I can visit Quebec and become acquainted with her people and with French Canadian ways and customs. As new bonds of friendship are formed, the barriers of language will automatically be surmounted. Julie Cragg, Grade 12A THE VOLT

My Visit to Quebec Visites lnterprovinciales, a non-profit or- ganization run only by contributions from various people, is trying to break the barrier existing between the English-speaking and French-speaking provinces. Because the Eng- lish-speaking people are in the maiority, we of this group tend to think of the French as a backward race. The differences between the two sections cause a lack of co-operation which greatly weakens the strength of our nation. Through the arrangements of Visites Inter- provinciales I spent a month last summer with a French family of ten. Noel Veilleux and his family live at St. Benoit-Labre, in the county of Beauce. This village is one hundred and eighty miles east of Montreal, sixty miles south of Quebec City, and about forty miles from the border of Maine. Because of the proximity to the United States, nearly everyone is, to some extent, acquainted with the English language. St. Benoit-Labre, with a population of about eighteen hundred people, resembles any village in Ontario. The arrangement of build- ings includes the usual service stations, and general stores, a blacksmith shop, and a mill. The dominating feature is the large, white, stone church with its tall spires. Noel Veilleux and his wife, who own a furniture store, have eight children ranging from two to fourteen. The mother does all the sec- retarial work for the store. The eldest boy, Jean-Marc, helps in the store and on deliveries. Jeanette, the eldest girl, aided by a hired girl, does the housework. Jean-Marc has finished at the local school and is now taking a course at the seminary in St. Georges, eight miles from St. Benoit. The French people were very friendly. I was offered the best rocking chair of the sev- eral each household had. When they learned that I was from Ontario, they were very inter- ested and asked me many questions. Although some of the farming methods are backward, they drive new cars and have well-equipped homes. At first it was difficult for me to follow their conversation. Because they used English a little and because l became accustomed to hearing the French language, by the end of my visit l had a fairly good understanding of what they meant. It was a very enioyable visit which I shall be happy to repeat if ever the opportunity comes my way.
