Program Tea is an off- ghoot of the Ontario Sum- mer Youth Enterprise pro- gram which began in 1911; It uses the theories of the Junior Achievement pro- gram to set up small but ness enterprises to employ students. _ This summer the program is being run in 15 centres across Ontario under. ttpe direction of_the metro Tor- Kitchener is operating out of the Junior Achievement offices on Victoria St. with atlIMgrant. "We're very open-ended on the types of jobs the stu- dents will accept as long as they are capable of doing them," said Mr. McLellan. The aim of the program is not to find permanent summer jobs for the stu- dents but to create tem- porary. part-time occupa- tions for them. "We want people to hire a service. not the student." said Mr. McLellan. “The main aim of the program is to teach the students how to set up. operate and close down a business.” The program does not try to find full-time work for the students. since many of them have never held a job before. It will introduce them to the work force gradually by employing them four hours a day, "We would also like to see these students develop Tf good work ethic ... The program will keep them off the streets, provide them with something to do for the summer and give them a chance to have some fun." he explained. 1940's Costume 27th in Paul Myslre. left. and Joli?!

Mr. Mcbellan and Mr. Myska are conducting inter- views in Twin City high schools at the present time to find students who are will- ing to participate in the pro- gram. Application forms were mailed out to high school guidance offices several weeks ago and prin- cipals and guidance officers were made aware of the program. "We can't guarantee the students money," said Mr. McLellan. “If their com-s pany makes money they willget paid." There will be no salaries " Such. but a division of the profit of each company. The directors expect to start paying regular salaries at the end of the third week of operation. when the com- panies start making money. The biggest problem for the Program Ten directors is finding jobs for the stu- dents. The provincial grant of 81,200 provides start-up capital for the business enterprises but does not pro- vide for payment of salaries. "All we want to do is cover costs and labour. We hope to ft the students a mini- mum retum of $1 an hour." Mme 16, 17 and 18 are the dates for auditions for the Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre's latest production. the musical Show Boat. Persons interested in audi- tioning should call 884-0964 or 885-3097 for an appoint- mentor more information. The play. directed by John Wright, will be performed on Oct. 10 to 18 at Victoria Park Pavillion in Kitchener during this year's Oktober- fest. "John and Jean Wright produced and directed Cab- aret for us two years ago and were a most successful team, with Lyn Beesley again do- ing the music." June Cam- eron of the sbdw executive said. . said Mr. McLellan. "Some of them could make reason- able amounts of money for their age." The auditions will be held at 9 Princess St., Waterloo, and about 30 persons are re- quired for the production. This includes actors, ac- tresses. singers and dancers. If the program is success- ful. Experience Ten might be able to employ more than its proposed quota of 40 students. However Mr. McLellan considers this prospect very unlikely in the wake of ingustrial lay- offs and general unemploy- Show Boat Auditions scheduled for June 16 "Last year we changed the SW!

This year when we advertised in the fall for or- iginal material we received absolutely none, despite the fact that Oktoberfest appear- ed to be successfully re- ceived," Miss Cameron "We had, however. many requests to do a regular musical. and so we will change the formula this year and maybe try Oktober- jest next year." The Kitchener-Waterloo branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society will be hold- ing a luncheon on 'June " to mark the 60th anni- versary of the branch in the Twin Cities. The lunch- eon will be held at the Kitch- ener Granite Club at noon.
