He is working under difficulties as there are no conference workers to help him, so he has to carry this whole programme himself.

Delegations from the various countries are to some degree limited by the seats avail- able in the Tivoli Centre, so we regret that we cannot Name accept an unlimited number of applicants. If you want to make sure of a place, apply AT ONCE to your Con- Address ference Youth Secretary for a registration form and full particulars of itinerary. Since large bookings like this have to be made at least six months in advance, no (enclosed five shillings) registrations can be accepted after December 31, 1959.
