Learns To Forgive During U.S. Stay By SANDRA NEMSER One year in the United States taught 18 - year - old Christiane Canivet to forgive. When the tall, smiling French exchange student returns home to Paris this month, the bitterness and hate .hat lived in her for 10 years will have been replaced by love and understanding. Christiane told her tragic yet hopeful story in an interview at the Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. high school where all 265 exchange students in the United States gathered to spend a couple of weeks before sailing for home. Her father, a leader in the French underground during World War II, was imprisioned by the Germans and killed after the liberation in 1944. She never for- got—or forgave. She hated all Germans passionately. She applied for an American Field Service. scholarship and came to this country last July to. spend a year with a Milwaukee, Wis. family and study in the local highschool. Another exchange student, a German girl, was entered in the same school, the first German Christine had met since the war. “We had to be polite to each oth- er, but I hated to talk to her. One time she showed me pictures of her father ina German uniform. I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. I told her how my father died.” But Christiane’s foster family, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Larned, invit- ed the German girl to lunch and, with time, the French girl and her classmate became fast friends. Christiane wrote the head of the Field Service in Mil- Her most exciting experience in the United States was a speech she made before her entire high school on what Americans have to get serious.

People here have never known war or what it je We be leeery: sade During her stay iwaukee, Christiane was introduced to dat- ing — non-existent for her in Paris—and dancing. She learned to jitterbug in coed classes. She was petrified when she first. had to sit next to a boy. Brown-eyed Christiane says she will miss scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. She loves ice cream and hot dogs and con- siders the American system of education much easier than the French, -.“Here you just have to have a good memory,” she says after collecting five As in her high ‘After the Sad Ending of the Long and Critical Iliness of His Wife - DOCTOR A.
