of Americanism and civic inter

personal achievement, provides
an avenue of participation In
community affairs, and for de
veloping friendship and under

Summarized, purpose of the
Javcees is to give leadership
training through community de
velopment, the speaker said.
The Morrow county chapter

eight chapters in the district.
Others are Umatilla, Hermiston,
Pendleton, Pilot Rock, La
Grande, Milton-Freewater and
Wallowa County (Enterprise).
Oregon has 15 districts, some
100 chapters and more than
5,000 members.
Hollomon reviewed some of
the local prolects carried on by
the Jaycees, including the oper
ation of Arbuckle Mountain ski
course, selling concessions for
the rodeo, work in getting out
the vote at election time, and
others.
Elaine George, city recorder,
from the audience added that
all Jaycee members here are
volunteer firemen and others
