Job As Carrier Builds Leaders

As Prince Edward Island joins today with the rest

‘Canada, and with the United States, in observation Newspaper Boy Day, it means that honor is being nid here to almost 200 “junior merchants” who make ly deliveries of The Guardian .and The Evening atriot across the province. Tt is natural in both Canada and the United States br such recognition to be extended because there is ied ‘up evidence in both countries that carrying news- pers serves as the' best possible first stepping stone ard a successful career, whether in business or pub- affairs.

In Canada, Prime Minister Diefenbaker made the tart toward his career as a newspaper carrier boy. The

me is true of President Eisenhower in the United states. A roll call of the top figures in business in the ¥0 countries would show that an enormous proportion them started out in the same way. :

ACTICAL LESSONS LEARNED

e who understand the “facts of life” about the yspaper carrier boy’s role — typified by the carriers D call daily at Island homes with The Guardian and he Evening Patriot.

When a boy joins this large company of carriers — ost 200 of them out of some 55,000 such boys in panada — he is exposed at once to training which will fand by him in any career as he learns practical lessons n salesmanship and in the importance of promptness, purtesy, self-reliance and thrift.

He learns first responsibility: to his customers, to he company which furnishes the product he sells and D himself as an upright young member of the business 0 unity, with a need to establish a reputation for pliability and to preserve it.

He learns to make his deliveries without fail in

y kind of weather.

He learns the value of courtesy in his daily contacts.

jUSY BOY IS GOOD BOY He learns to account for every penny he takes tn d to pay his just debts promptly. He learns to tuck vay something for the future, generally to be used in rwarding his education. _ All the things he learns are among his needs as roundwork for building any type of successful career.:

All the time he also building character, for it is a ruism that the busy boy is a good boy.

‘And, perhaps, as you read this issue of your favor- ie daily paper, you will want to spare a moment to hink over these facts about the “junior merchant” who elivers it to you — think them over with appreciation -- nd thereby share in today’s observation of National Jewspaper Boy Day.

The importance of the role of the newspaper boy, Jong with the value the boy gets out of his work has een recognized in messages issued by — outstand- | ng North American public figures.

ASIC PRINCIPLES LEARNED President Eisenhower, for instance, in a personal apenee to newspaper boys and giris, said: “...You are rendering a valuable service to the pub- c. Further, you are learning princifles basic to any © areer the future holds for you. You are learning how

» become dependable and loyal citizens in your adult —

“You have already proven your ability and willing- ess to be a part of your community. I know your abil- jes will continue to grow with the years. The country epends on the industry of young citizens like you, ow and in the years to come. I extend best wishes for our continued success and happiness.”

The reasons for this are not hard to grasp, for

é years. He is in Grade VIII Souris School. .
