1FYE DELEGATE
RETURNS FROM ITALY
Rosalind Miller, Alaska’s Inter
national Farm Youth Exchange
delegate, is home from Italy and
plans to spend Thanksgiving in
Palmer with her foster family, the
Harold Winegarners.
She gave her first talk about
her European experiences in
Juneau after her arrival there
November 22, Mrs. Lydia Fohn
Hanson said this week. Mrs.
Fohn-Hansen is associate direc
tor for home demonstration work
of the University of Alaska Ex
tension Service. The Extension
Service works with the National
4-H Club Foundation to sponsor
the international exchange of
farm youth.
After the holiday, Miss Miller
is to speak to groups in Palmer
and other Alaskan towns. The
purpose of the IFYE program is
to promote understanding be
tween nations. American farm
youth abroad help explain their
home country while they learn
about another country’s way of
life. When the IFYE delegate re
turns, she (or he) tries to bring
this understanding back to her
home state through talks and
colored slides. Miss Miller spent
six months in Italy. She returned
aboard the Queen Elizabeth No
vember 8 and took a bus trip
across the states to Seattle.
Miss Miller is the first Alaskan
born exchange since the IFYE
program began in the territory in
1951. She was born in Flat where
she attended grade school. The
Winegarners offered her a home
with them in Palmer. She was
graduated from the Palmer high
school and was salutatorian of her
class. She attended the Univer
sity of Idaho a year and a half
before she returned to Palmer in
1953. She was working in the
Soil Conservation Service office
when the 1953 IFYE delegate,
persuaded her to apply for the
trip.
Stewart Tope of Anchorage.
Following a short wedding
trip, the couple are now at home
in their home at Sutton.
