its aims towards public service

' together. Parker said. The

Bob Morris, first vice president

to handle various projects and
thus develop themselves.

dent, gave illustrations of how
the Jaycees can work with the
Chamber of Commerce, pointln
to the recent state B basket ba.
tournament in Pendleton where
t the Chamber assisted the Jay
cees.
"We provide leaders of tomor

were Involved in the wreck, one
driven by Kenneth Carl Couture,
Heppner, and the other driven
by Clarence Rosewall, also of
Heppner.
According to state Officer Jim
Gordon, the car driven bv
couture, a 1957 Mercury, was
traveling south from Lexington
on the Heppner-Lexlngton high
way when it failed to negotiate
a curve about one-half mile
from Lexington. The car went
off the left hand side of the
road and traveled about 300 feet,
knocking down a curve sign, be
fore it came back on to the
highway where It struck the
right rear of a Jeep driven by
Kosewall. The Rosewall vehicle
was also headed in the direction
of Heppner. The two vehicles
traveled for considerable dis
tance down the highway, follow
ing the collision, before they
went into the ditch on the left
hand side of the road.
Rosewall was thrown from the
vehicle into a ditch. He receiv-!
ed lacerations of the shoulder
and back of the head and also
suffered multiple abrasions and
bruises. He is in Pioneer Mem

tinues to improve, according to
his doctor. Rosewall said at the
