The cheery hi's, a cookie or an apple are always remembered. These young people are . generally pretty good judges of huma n nature and it takes them only a few calls to know who are their friends. Delivering the Springville Herald once a week gives our 13 carriers an opportunity to meet the finest kind of people the memories of whom they will always cherish. As these carriers purchase and sell the newspaper, they learn to keep books and to each of them their business is big business. As each one earns 5c per customer per week, each has a plan or a project in which he puts his money. A majority of these young people have worked at their jobs for moie than a year, with very few complaints. From these industrious youngsters someday may come presidents, governors, mayors, industrialists and professional profes-sional people, who will determine the quality of our future ' citizens. These young people are not only earning 5c per customer per week, they are learning the value of integ-. integ-. rity, public relations, thrift, adherence to duty and to meet people. The result will be better individuals, better fitted for any responsibility. Many of the nation's most successful men say with pride, that the principles and methods learned as newspaper carriers car-riers were invaluable to them in adult life. It is important that these young citizens are not discouraged; dis-couraged; that they do not lose faith in human nature. When they are doing their best, give them a pat on the back. If in case of negligence (what youngster is perfect?) reprimand him in a manner that he still feels you are his friend. Remember he may, someday be your mayor. The 13 young newspaper carriers of the Springville Herald deliver some 300 papers door to door each week to people who prefer to take the paper on a weekly basis and pay these young carriers 40c at the end of each month. It is a method developed by these young business people who whenever possible pick up a new customer and tlius increase in-crease their weekly earnings. Each carrier has the makings of a fine adult, a good future citizen and so as you pick up your paper from the porch today, give a thought to the remarkable young boy or girl who placed it there. It is with a deep sense of pride and appreciation that ,, salute this week, during NATIONAL NEWSPApp EEK, our ; Spnngvllle Herald newspaper carried avoid using the word newspaper boys because one of our m0St conscientious and faithful carriers is a girl who took ,)Ver for her brother. " ' "u LUOK Every Thursday morning, sometimes while it is qtiii auitc dark, these youngsters file into the Springville Her id office, count out a paper for each of their customers ..vrite their names and number on a slip of paper, load their bicycles and are off to visit from 21 to 40 homes before hool. How much do they make-these young industrious - business people? Their net profit when everybody pavs jnd on time, is 5c a paper. The other 5c goes for compiling-the compiling-the news, setting the type, printing and for paper. The bovs buy and pay with hard-earned cash for each and every naper. If someone moves away or for any other reason iecides not to pay, these youngsters are left holding the Bg. (a real empty newspaper bag.) t To earn 20c becomes a major occupation for these voung people. After delivering the newspaper each Thurs-i Thurs-i jay during the month (five times in some months) it beanies be-anies necessary for some youngsters to make several additional ad-ditional calls. Such stories as, "no change today," "my hus-' hus-' and isn't home,'" "payday is tomorrow," "we've had too i any other bills this month," tend to discourage some of lie most conscious workers. When a customer fails to pay a newspaper carrier, it 1 the carrier who is out because he buys and pays for ;yery paper he delivers. |
