to which the President referred when he handed us the challenge
of working out ways and means by which people can learn more of
each other. The Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club has struck up
correspondence with the Royalton Pirates baseball club of Southern
Rodesia, Africa-- sort of big brother-little brother relationship
which may well be an example worthy of enulation. Various types
of sports tourneys can be conducted via transoceanic cable or by
letter, thus eliminating the prohibitive expense of intercontin-
ental travel. We are continually getting requests for used sports
nead
equipment not available in the countries in which the requests
originate. Maybe your school or group could pick up one of these
as a project. Sports magazines are much in demand abroad. Collec-
tions of them shipped to a port of embarkation will be transported
beyond that point by water carriers without charge. If we can be
of help to you by providing the names and addresses of contacts
in other parts of the world, feel free to call on us. Pen-pal
relationships are excellent and, of course, inexpensive, etc.
We like the statement that this is "do it yourself diplomacy".
