Turning to the subject of com- munity projects, the President said that the year had included a shop locally drive, a radio auca tion. a Permanent Safety Coun- cil had been organised, a Youth Development Committee had wor- ked in the interests of the local children’s home. and during the annual election the Jaycees had organized a "Get Out the Vote Campaign". From such commun- ity projects members of the Jay- cee Movement gathered a wealth of experience. He admitted mis- takes were sometimes made but suggested that this was the place to make them.

He commented that the Richmond Hill Jaycees enthusiasm was contagious.

For the benefit of the bosses he said he hoped they were as proud of their employees from Richmond Hill as he himself was as their Jagcee District President.

What Junior: Expect Jaycee Murray McLeod who is this year's president. then re- counted to the meeting of about 50 Jaycees with 30 of their boss- es and special guests, highlights of the past year. He said it was always being asked of Jaycees, "What is the Junior Chamber of Commerce" and then went on to tell the bosses something ab- out the organization. He said it was not a service nor was it a social organization although it en- joyed something of both. It is rather an organization of dedicat- ed young men training themselves in leadership. Jaycee McLeod added that “No community can be called adequately organized if no provision is made for training and utilizing the capabilities of its young men." Learn By DAoing Speaking on the subject, "What the Junior Executive Expect: from His Boss”, Mr. Edwin C. Phillips. Vice President and Gen- eral Manager of The Crane Com- pany of Canada said the listener might ask two questions. "Why Opened with Grace said by Charter President Eric Brewer, a sumptuous ,banquet followed. Mayor Ken Tomlin. Hon. Presi- dent for 1960, extended in a few words of welcome from the town to the bosses. The Mayor was introduced as the “boss of Rich- mond Hill”. He jokingly told the bosses that they were lucky â€" they could not be got rid of so easily as he himself could be by the electors of Richmond Hill. (Laughter). Trainlnx In Leadership ( by Paul Delmer) The Richmond Hill Junior Chamber of Commerce last Thursday entertained more than thirty of the members’ own bosses. It was “TheBosses’ Night”. Organized by Jaycee H. M. Barnett who presided at the meeting. it was a night of education for the bosses. It was also a night of successful entertainment. A local beauty queen, Miss Sandy McGillvray. who was runner-up and appointed Lady in Waiting to Miss Allencourt, 1959, and who later won first place in another contest to become “Miss Bayview, 1959” was present in the foyer of the Summit View Restaurant, to present roses to each of the bosses and to special guests. 308! of Richmond Hill lthis topic?" and “What are vour “Some Bosses Are Idiots" THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. March 24. 1960 McLeod of followed by 6 Jaycee E. e employers - 30 Were Present He said that he had hesitated about reading the clipping be- cause he could forsee a headline reading, “Some bosses are idios" â€" 30 were present; and he was not sure how that would look in print (laughter). This inspired our headline and now Mr. Phil- lips will know what it looks like“ Local Cigar Industry by their junior executives. He talked for 25 minutes while his audience smoked cigars donated for the occasion by the local cigar industry. The speaker told the bosses their junior executives could not operate a Buick on a bicycle income. He said that The speaker went on to tell the bosses what was expected of them Considering bosses, he pro- duced a news clipping and read it to the meeting. Headed “Suh- stantial Number of Bosses Crazy,” it read. “Your boss is crazy? It’s possible. percentagewise. 0f 2.500.000 business executives sur- veyed in one group 8.5 per cont. were actually crazy: 21 per cent. were mildly so, and 36.1 per cent. were on the verge due to constant tension and stress.” this topic?" and “What are your qualifications for speaking on it?” The topic was suitable because the meeting comprised some 30 bosses and about 50 junior execu- tives. His qualifications stemmed from his more than a quarter century of experience both as a junior and senior executive. “Your Boss is Crazy‘" 'I' Free‘ Driving Lessons " BAH SALE! DRVING!

The last point the speaker maintained was, he said. perhaps most important of all. “How can I get the boss to open up?" Too often he is given no information concerning the operation and background. the finance and ad- ministration of the business in which he is engaged. The boss should himself periodically and systematically advise the employ- ee on these questions, not wait until he is asked. A company should be slow in giving out bad news, quick with good. And a company would be amazed at the help it could and would obtain when it started taking its junior While Jaycee training would not enable a young man to find the right answer every time, it would help. He said his own com- pany boasted eight Jaycees and they made use of the company board room for board and com- mittee meetings. Advises Employees He quoted the attitude of a banker who said that the junior executive who always took brief- case of work home with him left him suspicious. as against the broker who said that he liked to see a man willing to stuff his briefcase with work to carry out at home. In circumstances of contradictory advice like this, what was a junior executive to do? he asked. There were also bosses who liked to know their juniors were able to delegate au- thority while others thought a junior executive never should del- egate authority while others egate authority. when a good man was given a raise in salary. this should be done personally by the boss who should give the reason for this appreciation. A young executive wanted to know he was being ap- preciated and that every raise resulted from his own achieve- ments and worth. He said that junior executives always wanted to know where they stood. He explained this was made difficult at times. Contradictory Advice It was obvious that a wonderful evening had been enjoyed by bosses and junior executives alike and the two groups would in the future have a better understand- ing of each others’ problems. Jaycee Peter Pfenning was an- nounced as the Jaycee of the month and the evening was then concluded with entertainment provided by the well known com- edian and hypnotist, David Stew- art. Following a break, Jaycee Leon Lambert led a toast to the bosses while one of the bosses, Mr. W. B. Lambert .extended thanks on behalf of all the bosses present. Jaycee of the Month In extending thanks to the speaker on behalf of the Cham- ber, Jaycee Don Plaxton remark- ed that it had been an educat- ional address not only for the em- ployees but for the others pres- ent. He agreed that there was need of contact at all times be- tween the man coming up in a business and the man who was already filling the executive seat. He told the speaker the address had been very welcome. executives into its confidence This had been hxs own exper. ience. Canada’s Heritage Th‘e‘vspeaker concluded by pain. ting out that he had taken more than 20 hours â€" the number of people by the number of minutes he had spoken. to discuss three Simple points. He offered no ap- ology. The junior executive to- day may lack something because he has not gone through a period of hunger as the bosses who were themselves juniors 25 years ago during the depression of the thir- ties, but they were better look- ing, healthier. more mature, more travelled. more sophisticated than those of the past. Interspersed with humor the speaker held his audience en- tranced for almost half an hour. Loud applause greeted his final remarks. Need of Contact. The Bosses' Challenge “As a group, they will be bet,- ter executives 30 years from now than we are today!" he said_ “That's Canada‘s heritage! That’s the bosses’ challenge." he con- cluded.
