This year there are 40. A total of 237 Americans are taking part in the 1958 program, with 132 serving abroad and the remainder in the United States on such projects as a chapel and youth center of American Indians. All Volunteers The workers are selected from volunteers who apply through their denominational boards or through the National Council' of Churches. A joint committee of denominations makes the choice. The workers pay their own fares to the camps and provide for their own maintenance.

It costs them between $750 and $800 to work in Europe. Sponsoring groups provide housing. For some, though, the cost is not high. Julia Savage of Evansville, who's working in a refuge center of North Africans in Marseilles, France, was practically on the scene as a university student in Geneva.
