ITOR Mk) Plans Prepared to Introduce Junior Achievement in Salem Headed by the Salem Exchange club, a movement ig afoot to bring to Salem the Junior Achievement program, which is in operation in 28 states with a high percentage of success. Junior Achievement is a nation wide, non-profit, educational pro gram in which youngsters 15 to 19 organize and manage their own small-scale business enterprises with the guidance and counsel of adult advisers drawn from local business and Industry. At a meeting of the Exchange Club Tuesday, with outside speak ers present, it was decided to name a committee of about 15 persons to see if the program can be started here. Four Speakers Heard ' Speakers Tuesday were Richard Ballou of San Francisco, western regional representative of Junior Achievement; Eugene Caldwell of Portland, who spoke from the busi ness man's point of view; Guy Hoyt, Portland banker, speaking from the point of view of a Junior Achievement adviser; and Bernic Lowcnthal, a Portland student, who spoke as a participant in the pro gram. s Business ventures organized un der the program operate just as any business run by adults. They operate in close cooperation with the high schools, and each unit organizes in the fall as a corpora tion. In each company are from 15 to 20 youngsters who comprise the board of directors, the working force and the sales staff. They select a product to make or a service to be performed. They capitalize their business by public sale of capital stock at SO cents a share. The country over, more than fiOO.000 shares of stock were sold last fall by 3000 Junior Achievement companies. Gross sales this year will be about $1,000,000. The youthful concerns keep records and pay taxes. Local Firms Sponsor Each company is sponsored by some local business or industry which furnishes three advisors. The movement has attracted the attention of the New York Stock Exchange, which gives an annual prize for the best annual report made by a company. In Salem what is known as Plan 3 is considered suitable for a city of this size. This would mean about six companies totaling pos sibly 100 youngsters. The annual outlay to get it started each fall would be about $;)00, which would be subscribed by business con cerns, not necessarily those spon soring youthful companies. ' A&L. THE CAPITAL JOURNAE The companies produce a large variety of things, including jewelry, lamps, detergents, furniture, toys, barbecue stands, shampoo, scarves, house number signs, etc. Each company is liquidated at the end of the year so a maximum number can get Junior Achieve ment training. One of the pur poses is education and training in the free enterprise system. Tho young operators pay themselves wages of from 15 to 25 cents an hour. Geist Will Go To Workshop Mclvin H.
