EDMONTON, Alta. Nine hundred fifty-six Plast members - 450 each from Canada and the United States, 22 from Austra– lia, 17 from West Germany, 12 from England, two each from France and Argentina and one from ltaly — are participating in the international Plast Jam– boree-78 in Alberta, Canada, August 4-17. The "plastuny" represent each of the eight countries in which branches of the youth organization exist today. After their two-week stay, few will return home with the same Plast badges they had pinned on their uniforms when they first arrived in Edmonton. Badge swapping is a tradition at such gatherings. Australians and Argentinians will no doubt return with badges from camps held in Middlefield, Ohio, or North Colebrook, Conn.; Canadians will be seen wearing badges from Plast events in England or West Germany; Americans will sport French or italian badges. Many will also trade neckerchiefs. (Each troop s a neckerchief of a particular color.) rBy far the most valued items, however, are kanga– roo pins or neckerchiefs with small kangaroos Plast youths begin their exhibition of pioneering skills, marching and synchronized exercises at Hawrelak Park embroidered on the tip - from Australia, of course. in Edmonton.
