In short, they are all "big time oper ators.” The company first met in October and will op erate until sometime in May. At that time it will be liquidated and a final report will be rendered to the stockholders. If the company is successful, it will return not only the stockholders investment, but a dividend as well. Insofar as possible, the advisers have remained in the background since the company was proper ly organized and the Achievers became familiar with their duties. But, the job of the advisers, aside from the benefits to the Achievers, is the most important part of the Junior Achievement program. Like other youth programs, it could not exist without adult leaders. There are six Ecustans who spend many off-the- job hours, v/ithout compensation, to help these youngsters and to promote the JA program in Western North Carolina. These advisers for the Nilo Company are W. F. Orr, Business Adviser, W. R. Atchison, Production Adviser, R. A. Palmer, Sales Adviser, J. D. Willis, Earl York and Eugene Eggert. The local JA organization was started in July, 1952. At present the program only includes 255 Asheville teen-agers, but plans are being made to expand it into other communities. The scope of the expansion program lies in the hands of the Board of Directors of Junior Achievement of Western North Carolina, Inc., of which L. F. Dixon and E. B. Garrett, Jr., are members. The Junior Achievement program offers ex perience in concrete business practices and pro vides an excellent opportunity for youth to learn how our business system operates.
