How the Junior Achievement movement is helping the children decide their future vacations, and at the same time saIvaging their out or school hours, was explained to the workers ill the United Community corporation drive today by Russell CreVistan, general manager Of the Eastern States League and former national adjutant of the American Legion. The first days total amount cd 10 Sl1,4S710, q higher amount than ever before reported on the { first day.
 A new plan has heen evolved. Three flags have been secured, an American flag, blue flag and a red
 flag. The American tlas was given to team No. 10, Captain Stanley | Hart. today as the team having se- cured the largest amount of sub scrirttons of any facr ,eam tn ac- ! cordance with it's qlota. The blue i flag was awarded to team No. 21, captain Mrs. Mary Owsiak, for hav- ing the largest number of subscrib- CTS in accordance with its quota of any city team. The red flag was awarded to team No. IS, captain Mrs. Katherine Smith for having the largest amount pledged in connec- ton with its quota of any city team.
 In his address Mr. Creyistan said in part, as follows:
 Ut is an old saying that you can judge persons by the company they keep, 1t Is equally true that you can judge a community by the effort it makes 10 care for its social problems. This does not mean great sums of money, necessarily, but adequate funds coupled with q desire to know what is needed and why it is needed. Great progress has been made in recent years toward the development of community minded Citizenry. This development is largely due to the lesson in COopcra'ion which We learned during the World War. That great catastrophe forced us to forget petty differences and work together for the common good.
 The Community Chest plan of financing our social. welfare and special educational work was adopt cd during the war and has since be- come quite generally accepted. The success of pooling Our efforts de- bends upon our ability 10 keep them progressive This can he done it our business and professional leaders will apply the same initiative which they usc in building up their business and professions.
