New 4 H Program Labo to Start in Kansas in 1977
State 4 H Leader Glenn Bassett says the international 4 H exchange, Labo, originated in Japan and is in use in over 12 states. In 1977 about 1 000 Japanese youths aged 10 to 12 will travel to the U S with roughly 100 coming to Kansas for six week host family stays. Advised youths will be guided by advisers who may have little contact during their stay. American youths will visit Japan the following year for six months. Implementation will begin in an Extension district with plans for continuity pending.
