Achievement in Clinton, the girls ^ learned much about the work of : other clubs. There were dis- 9 plays of the products manufact- 3 ured by some of these clubs and •J seminars describing the projects and activities of outstanding Jun ior Achievements organizations around the country. Sailors said the girls were selected to attend the convention because of their outstanding work with the Clinton organization. Sailors explained that the Jun ior Achievement program was organized to demonstrate how the financial system of the country works. Miniature companies are formed, officers are elected, and a stock program is initiated. Shares of this stock are sold to Clinton area merchants and in dustries. The companies actually manufacture products and de clare a dividend at the end of 30 weeks. The “companies’ in Junior Achievement are assisted by the Torrington Bearing Com- C ommunity Cash 3 Lb.

Each of these organizations has supervi sors and managers who assist in Junior Achievement Since both of these girls will be back in high school this year, Sailors feels that the program will be much stronger Is it enters its second year. Rev. Setzler Attends School Of Alcohol Studies The Reverend John L. Setzler, pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church here in Clinton, was one of 290 professional and non-pro fessional persons who completed the course of study last week at the Ninth Annual Southeastern School of Alcohol Studies at the University of Georgia in Athens.

The Southeastern School of Alcohol Studies is planned to meet the needs ofpersons who are seeking a better understanding of the many problems related to alcohol and alcoholism. The approach of the school is an obvious attempt to follow a person-centered approach, and therefore does not dwell upon such traditional areas of con cern as the moral implications of the issue. Using the insights of, professionals in the field of alcoholism from clinical chap lains to psychologists and profes sors in the field of medicine the School states as its purpose’ . . .to offer a broad survey of the many problems related to al cohol and alcoholism and to sti mulate those who attend to make practical application in their own communities of the knowledge gained. * Those attending repre sented all walks of life, but all were admitted because of their interest in persons' and the needs of persons in their communities. * * * The person who coined the phrase “giving the bride away” never, ob viously, paid for a daugh ter’s wedding.
