By Erin Lobb

EXETER - Huron County youth
will soon have the opportunity to
experience real husiness first hand,
with the Junior Achievement Pro-
gram.
"We've got to instill in young
people that there is more than one
way to make a living in life," says
Rick Hundey, organizer and town
administrator.
"It's possible to create wealth for
yourself and you community by
starting a business," he said.
Junior Achievement (JA) works
with teachers to bring business peo-
ple into the community to share
their practical business and ec-
onomical experience with the stu-
dents.
Established in 1919, with a struc-
ture similar to 4-H programs, JA
now has a menu of four programs.

community who teaches concepts
of economics.
The other program, simply called
Business Basics, is a four-week
program which focuses on grade
five and six classes.
This class, which can he taught
by OAC students or volunteers,
teaches business concepts of pro-
duction, management, marketing.
and organization.

tional years, grades seven, eight,
and nine, optional requirement,"

at Precious Blood Separate
School.

icy and program requirements ex-
plain that locally designed optional
units, developed with the collabora-
tion of parents teachers and the
community, must he on the cur-
riculum.
Though nothing has been final-
ized, McQuillan feels this will be
an excellent opportunity for stu-
dents and the community to be-
come better aquainted.
Exeter Public School's vice prin-
cipal conceded with McQuillan's
remarks and added that he hopes to
