Poth are ports and both are affluent,”* said Player.

DICK’S APPLIANCES 1348A Marine Dr. West Vancouver §26-5621 Player said a long-term relation- ship would not impose any demands on West Vancouver “other than an eapression of the intention to con- tinue the exchange program over the years." Sentinel student Jodi Tanaka, who took part in an exchange program in Shimizu last month, said it was very easy to adapt tc the Japanese way of life. “*We were treated very kindly and very well. | learned to understand their culture so quickly that [ forgot that I was a new one,”’ said Tanaka. we ee urges Another student, Rahim Rajan, said it would be a ‘‘shame’’ if the ex- change prograin was not continued. “There are more advantages than disadvantages to making this ex- change program a long-term one," said Rajan. WVSB will send Shimuzu officials a lettr agreeing to enter into a long- term exchange program with the city. The program will only involve the three secondary schools in West Van- couver (Sentinel, West .Van and Hillside), and efforts will be made to try to find corporate sponsors.
