SUNDAY, JANUARY 25. 19r) ITFRAIT) AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Jaycee Windup (Continued from Page 2) desire of young men to make their voices heard. In any case, a strong foundation was molded around a valid idea: The thought of utilizing the young manpower of the community for public service. There has been growth and accomplishment since. And all of this has taken some management. It has boiled down to some specifics. For instance when a national corporation, spend ing better than SUoO.OOO annually, replaces its board of directors each year, there is a need some where for continuity. When 200,000 members each pay $2 a year into a national "kitty" there is a need for specialized services to the contributors. Organizational continuity a nd service to the membership are prerequisites and requirements for a national headquarters. The Jun ior Chamber of Commerce has what is considered one of the finest staff operations of any or ganization of its size in the coun try. The dues dollars of the Jaycee members in hundreds of towns and cities, along with other in comes, are supporting a full-time paid staff of 50 people in the na tional headquarters in Tulsa. In the course of a year, thou sands of ideas rebound throughout the 22,730 square feet of head quarters office space. Project ideas may walk in the front door with a visiting Jaycee, pour in. with the daily bundles of mail, or some limes seem to jump out of the woodwork. It is said of the Junior Cham ber, "Where is there a university offering a comparable course in leadership training?" It could be said of the national staff, "Where is there a half-million-dollar cor poration to offer young men ex ecutive responsibilities and admin istrative experience in a fast paced organization influenced only by enthusiasm to build? From the local, stale, and na tional arms of the organization flow the ideas and efforts of young men devoted to community im provements. The four-cent postage stamp is the link in this nation wide chain of command which runs one of the fastest-growing young men's organizations in the nation. What is a Jaycee? He is the young man on the way up, play ing an active and prominent part in blueprinting America s tomor row. mm I h f 11 w lit it ,! tAi. THE PERMANENT TROPHY for the annual homo lighting contest sponsored by the Klam ath Falls Junior Chamber of Commerce went this year to Felix Peace, center.

THE COVER This week's cover shot was taken by Herald and News photogra pher Don Kettler and shows one of the local winter scenes the ice formation on the old Rock Creek flume along Rock Creek. Wheat Surplus Gain Seen Wheat and feed grain surpluses appear likely to pile higher in the year ahead and will undoubtedly force drastic changes in farm pro grams, says an Oregon State Col lege marketing specialist. Record carry-over of wheat, corn, sorghums, oats, and barley are in prospect for mid-1959, re port Ray Teal, OSC extension seed marketing specialist. Corn farmers in the 16 commer cial corn-growing states recently voted in a new support program that lifts corn acreage restric tions for the first time, since 1938 Teal says the national average support price for 1959 crop will be about St. 12 to si. 15 a bushel Minus acreage allotments, corn production could increase greatly and put added pressure on other surplus feed grains. Teal says some farm groups are now dis cussing such "corrective" pro grams as "bushel allotments" rather than acreage allotments for feed grains of alt kinds. Under a bushel allotment pro gram, a farmer could elect to plant more acres with less fertil izer or fewer acres with more fertilizer as best suited his situa tion. For 1959, however, there will be little change in the wheat program over 1958, the specialist explains. The national average support level announced last May was $1.81 a bushel, only one cent less than for Food Tests Carried On OREGON STATE COLLEGE Tests on whether irradiated foods are wholesome and safe to eat will be extended into the sixth yeur at Oregon State College this win ter with a new $28,750 grant from the office of the surgeon general. Department of the Army. White rats are used as test ani mals. They are being fed pork, peaches, carrots and jam irradi ated for preservation at the Idaho - Falls, Idaho, atomic energy instal lation. Irradiated foods will keep for vastly longer periods than others and do not require refrigeration. They show considerable promise for military and home use in tho future. To date in the OSC tests, no dif ferences whatever have been found between rats on irradiated and non-irradiated diets. Length ot life, weight gains, body tissue com position, and number of off-spring arc compared. Dr. Edward C Buhl, agricultural chemist, is lead er of the project. Since it was started in 1954, OSC has received grants totaling more than $200,000 for the tests. THE COLORFUL CHRISTMAS LIGHTING PROGRAM is another of the many Jaycee ac tivities in the' Klamath Basin. A program of long standing, it is one that has brought much Christmas spirit to the area. This picture shows the Felix Peace home, winner of first place in home decorations this year. This was the third win for Peace and gave him permanent possession of the trophy. - Jaycee Activities Reach Peak Around Christmas Thft t.Tnvrw nrtiviHK reach a furious pace during the Christmas holiday season.

The Christmas lighting contest this year for the most beautiful all-around display was won for the third time by Felix Peace.
