This conference emphasizes common interests and responsi bilities of citizens in a democracy. Leaders seek to develop among the young people attitudes of under- standine, mutual respect and good will toward people of different religions, nationalities and races and to explore the meaning of citizenship in a democracy—its ijrlvil'iges and responsibilities.

Well, Miss Win kle Harris did just that. She must have a great many interesting tmnHS to tell.

She was chosen in 1951 to go on the Pulbright Program by the Institute of International Education while attending Salem CoHege in Winston-Salem. This teacher sailed for Europe ■;n Au?u.st of the same year, on the French liner, Liberte. and returned to the United States in November, 1952. She said that she toured many parts of Europe, mostly by bicycle and also visited relatives dining her stay in France.
