TODGHAM (RIGHT) PRAISED ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM «.- William Brennen, Chamber President George Roberts, Program Chairman George Fletche: Junior Achievement Program Described Oshawa Jaycees were on their feet with eager questions after a speech last night by Ronald W. . Todgham, President of Chrysler Canada Ltd., asking them to back a "Junior Achievement" program in Osh- awa. "Junior Achievement", or JA, is an organization in which high school students set up com- panies to manufacture products or perform services for profit. The organization sells stock, its products and services in order that the students involved can have a business experience. "That," Mr. Todgham said, "is one of the great character- istics of Junior Achievement -- the understanding of how busi- ness and industry operate, and the enthusiasm for participa- tion in business, that it evokes in young Canadians of high school age. "Today in our country," Mr. Todgham, who is also Chairman of the Board of Junior Achieve- ment of Canada, continued, "there are more forces working to undermine public faith in the free enterprise system than per- haps at any other time in our history. The whole business of ing a service for profit seems to be suspect in the minds of more and more people every day . . . the minds of our young people are beset with argu- ments against the very sysiem that has given them so many opportunities. UNDERSTANDING "Many of them," Mr. Todg- ham continued, 'falling for that old idea of government-provided pie-in-the-sky, are being turned against a system which they do not understand simply because they have never had a chance to understand it." If Canada's economy is to grow and prosper, Mr. Todg- ham said, Canadians must lay the groundwork for a continua- tion of faith in the free enter- prise system through teaching young people how it works. "We must accept the job of convincing the young people of our country that it is a good system -- that it can and does work." Junior Achievement is one way this can be done. Personal, first-hand experience is essen- tial, Mr. Todgham pointed out, yet the day of the family busi- ness, in which teen-agers could producing product or provid- learn a business from their par- Several Strange Santas Emerge In Color Contest "Anytime but Christmas," the postman pleads every day as he dumps a batch of 50 or may- be 100 colored Santas on the desk of Mrs. M. M. Martin, business administrator of the Oshawa Shopping Centre. "But who wants to color Santas in July?" is her jovial reply. Since the shopping centre started the 'Color Santa" con- test Nov. 22 Mrs. Martin has received about 700 entries and expects to have 1,000 by the Dec. 13 deadline. Most of the youngsters join- ed the dots to form just Santa's head but some found a head and shoulders and others dis- covered almost the whole body. The nose, which was always the standard fire engine: red, pre- sented definite difficulties to the younger group Some have it long and pointing to the left, others are somewhat stubby and aimed right while many were content to give Santa no nose at all. The beard was the outlet for the children's imagin- ation. Some flowed with fiuffy cotton batting, others glistened with sequins and others droop- ed with several layers of thick white paint. To win the $10 first prize, $5 second prize or one of eight prizes of $2 for third, children have to join a series of dots to form the outline of a Santa and then paint or crayon him. Entry forms were printed in a shop- ping centre circular published in The Times Nov. 22. The prizes will be awarded in three age categories, four to seven, seven to 10, and 10 to 15. POSTMAN WILL DELIVER ESTIMATED 1,000 ENTRIES ents, is over, and "today's young people normally don't get a chance to learn what business is all about while they are receiving their schooling." OBJECTIVES 'All too frequently," he said, "the only objective in school is to pass the examinations and get out of school. The important relationship between work and study -- the need to develop a broad background of learning in preparation for the demand- ing assignments of adulthood in the world of business and indus- try -- is often missing." But a teen-ager working in Junior Achievement would be able to relate what he learns in school to the world of business. "Gentlemen," Mr. Todgham concluded, "if you should undertake to -establish Junior Achievement in Oshawa, I be- lieve you will be doing some- thing that in years to come you'll look back on with a great deal of pride and satisfaction.' MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Junior Achievement plans to open a campaign for member- ship in Oshawa schools early in 1968, a spokesman for William J. Brennan, executive vice-pres- ident of Junior Achievement of Canada told The Times. There are over 4,000 "Achievers", as they are called, working in 10, centres in Canada. Winnipeg has 700, Montreal 500, London 100 and Vancouver 1,000. Junior Achievement was founded in 1919 by Horace A. Moses, then president of the Strathmore Paper Company in Springfield, Mass. It was plan- ned as the city youth's equiva- lent of the rural 4-H Clubs. In) 1929, it was introduced to New York City, and its present oper-| ating format took shape. Jun-|ties for motor oil and gasoline, was ior Achievement sells stock at one dollar a share, and all Achievers are _ stockholders. They form companies of about 20 youths who decide to produce a specific product or service. One company makes coat hang-| ers, another dinnerware and kitchen utensils, while another goes into photography -- por- traits, school functions, dances -- and another films television programs to sell for a profit. Each company keeps its own! books and does its own selling. é Police Network © Tracking Harris She Times | OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 | aoe | Oshawa Times Photo ICY SURFACE ON BRIDGE BLAMED FOR CAR SMASH WHITBY (Staff) -- Icy road conditions on the Ritson Road bridge caused a car to spin out of control on the Mac- donald-Cartier Freeway yes- terday afternoon and resulted in $800 damage to the auto.
