International boundary lines have a way of dividing people as well as territories, but the one running between Rock Island, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont, has become a bond joining the citizens on either side of the Canada-U.S.A. border in a spirit of friendly cooperation and goodwill. Popularly known as the "Twin Cities", Rock Island and Derby Line have found that there are many advantages to be gained by living with "one foot in both worlds".

Canadian and American youngsters "face off" on the international boundary line at Rock Island, Que. Although the boys and girls attend different schools, their interests outside school are the same as those of children everywhere. In the winter the favourite sport is hockey and the fact that each city has its own hockey team adds the zest of an "international competition" to many of the sports activities.

An apartment house straddling the Canada-U.S.A. line has certain advantages. All of the T.V. antennae are situated on the south (U.S.A.) side of the roof, since no taxes are paid as long as the television set is on the American side.
