The award was presented in special RotaryClubceremonies in Twin Falls May 20 by Lloyd Howe, Chairman of the Advi­ sory Council to the Boise Dis­ trict Office of the Small Busi ness Administration. The cere mony was part of Rotary’s ob servance of Small Busines Week, May 17-23. “Powel typifies the op portunity for small busines. enterprise in Idaho”, Howe ex- plained. “Not only is he an outstanding and innovative busi­ ness man, but he has achieved singular record with his em­ ployees and contributed signi­ ficantly in service to his com­ munity and his industry.” While still attending Portland, Oregon high school, Powel started as an employee in the laundry business, Howe said. In 1957, Powel and his wife Charlotte acquired the Troy National operation in Twin Falls. Over the past 13 years, they have modernized and expanded the venture until it dominates the ‘dirty linen’ business of all Southern Idaho. Powel’s laundry now employs over 125 people including a number of physically handi- capped, His fleet of 13 trucks service commercial and do- mestic laundry accounts over a radius of 100 miles from Twin Falls. In addition, Powel operates “Powel Plastics”, a small Twin Falls firm he initially started to produce plastic laundry carts for his own organization. Today, he ships plastic products throughout the nation. Always active in community affairs, Powel is a past presi­ dent of Rotary and a leader in the Chamber of Commerce. Currently he is serving on boards and committees with several regional and national trade associations.

Salvation Army Annual Maintenance Fund Appeal Began Last Week The Salvation Army Annual Maintenance Fund Appeal began May 15 her?, it was announced by Paul H. Penrod, Chairman. The Maintenance Fund is the means by which The Salvation Army helps those in need in communities where it has no Corps or other institutions. Ac­ cording to James Grassley, Di­ rector of The Salvation Army Service Extension Committee, last year this meant help for over 5,000 persons in Oregon. In over 100 communities in the two-state area, Service Ex­ tension Committees of The Sal­ vation Army, staffed by more than 420 volunteers, bring some 23 services to those in need. These services include emer­ gency disaster aid, funds for clothing and shoes for school­ age children of needy families, care for unwed mothers, emer­ gency medical aid, transient welfare, farm fire relief and food for those not eligible for other forms of welfare. In order that this network of help to those in distress can be continued, contributions from all the communities involvedare necessary. Letters will be mailed this week. Response from these persons andall other concerned local citizens is es­ sential for the help offered through the Local Service Ex­ tension Committee to be con­ tinued during the coming year. Grassley emphasized that these maintenance fund appeals are made only in communities where these contributions are the major source of support. None are made in areas where The Salvation Army receives financial support from a United Fund. The Local Service Extension Committee is responsible for the administration of aid and funds. Contributions should be sent to Robert R. Wilson, 118 Main St., Nyssa. ¿JftNT KBS 3 WORK WONDERS Small engine failures?
