Named Head
Of JayCees
A group of young men, aged 18
through 36, are in the process of
instituting here a Jaycees com­
munity service organization. They
now have about two thirds of the
25 persons required to obtain a
charter and effect permanent or­
ganization, but they are tentative­
ly organized and active on com­
munity projects while awaiting for
formal institution.
At their first public meeting
called Tuesday of last week at the
Keasey Saw Shop, the following
officers were named: Neil Zim­
merman, president: Stan Enevold-
sen, secretary; Larry Johnson,
public relations: Paul Weidman,
Don Wantland, Les Caron, Ralph
Keasey, Norm Axeman and Cal­
vin Bass, committee members.
Projects which the group have
carried out to date include the
sponsoring of the bus to take the
band to Seaside last) Saturday
which was a big success. The
sign on the bus proclaimed it as
“The Biggest Little Band in All
the Land.”
Other projects include assist­
ing the Lions club and Jamboree
committee with construction of the
bleachers which will be used Sat­
urday at Anderson park, then
moved by the Jaycees to the city
park for use on Sunday. The group
also plans participation in the Jam­
boree parade Saturday and a
dunk-tank concession for the week
end.
Another project planned is as­
sistance to the life guard at the
pool with instruction in swimming
and watching swimmers. Also,
clean-up plans are being formu­
lated to help in beautifying the
city.

Nehaiem Valley. He was born near
Mist, about three miles from his
present home. He attended grade
school at Vesper and Mist and high
school at Vernonia. Since then his
interests have been logging and
farming.
For five years he managed the
Mist general merchandise store
and during those years he served
as acting postmaster and then post­
master of Mist.
He and his family are active in
all community affairs in Mist and
