Clubs throughout the state have done a great dee I to create a better understanding of world affairs and our country's place in them. Reports from various clubs indicate that whenever possible they hafle token advantage of their opportunities to entertain and hear from foreign guests and travelers to foreign countries.. By so doing, we have he lped visitors to better understand and appreciate this great country of ours and have helped ourselves to better understand other nationa lities and cultures. Through our World Affairs programs we have learned about the cultures, art, literature, food, mode of living, health and welfare, history and politics, ge9raphic locations, etc of many different countries. Beautiful displays have been a part of nearly every program. ,; to Study sessions have been he ld on the United Nations. Programs were designed learn what the United Nations is, what it does, and what are its efforts towa.rd world peace and progress. Programs have touched upon all phases of the World Affairs program, and as we attempted to help others as well as ourselves to understand and appreciate other countries, we rea lized the immensity of our task.
