Utah Jaycees Slate Week Observance For January 15-2- 1 President William E. Dunn of the Utah Jr. Chamber of Com-merce announced plans by the 47 member Jaycee Chapters in Utah to celebrate the week of their founding during the week of January 15 to 21 this year. Dunn said that the Utah Jr. Chamber of Commerce is com-prised of young men from the communities of American Fork, Bountiful, Brigham City, Cedar City, Centerville, Clearfield, E. Carbon, East Mill Creek, Gunni-son Valley, Heber Valley, Kays-vill- e, Kearns, Layton, Lewiston, Logan, Manti, Mapleton, Marys-val- e, Morgan, Mount Pleasant, Murray City, Nephi, No. Sum-mit, Ogden, Price, Panguitch, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Price, Provo, Richfeild, Riverton, Roy, Salina, Salt Lake City, Sandy, Spanish Fork, Springville, Sun-set, Tremonton, Vernal, Wash-ington Terrace, totalling over 1500 members and a similar number of wives that comprise the Jaycette Auxiliaries in Utah. He pointed out that Jaycee Week celebrates the founding of the Junior Chamber in 1915 in bt. .Louis, me brain cniid of Henry Giessenbier, Jr., who called together members of a St. Louis dancing club to form the Young Men's Progressive Civic Association. The name was changed to Junior Citizens and started the new popular abbre-viation "J. C." In 1918 the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce invited the Junior Citizens to become affiliated as the Junior Chamber of Com-merce. The affiliation was so popular that the St. Louis Plan soon spread to many cities of the nation. The Jayces, however, are no longer an arm of the Chamber of Commerce. Though the simi-larity in name remains, only the aim of civic betterment is simi-lar. The movement spread so fast that within a year the United States Junior Chamber of Com-merce was formed with 24 cities represented. The organization has reached such proportions that now there are more than 3,700 chapters in the National Jaycees with a quarter million members. The Jaycee movement has reached to 90 nations and territories with nvpr flflfl momVOT.c in mnro than 4500 chapters. The Junior Chamber International, world's third largest international club, maintains headquarters in Miami Beach, Fla. The United States Jr. Chamber of Commerce maintains head-quarters in Tulsa, Okla., at the War Memorial Building. The Utah Jr. Chamber headquarters for 1960-6- 1 is in Murray, and will move to the city of resi-dence of its 1961-6- 2 president to be elected at the annual state convention in May. Mr. Dunn pointed out that the Jaycees are dedicated "Young Men of Action" who take ad-vantage of opportunities to serve their communities. He said that many people think Jayces are sons of busi-nessmen who are members of the local Chamber of Commerce. While this is true in some cases, where Jaycees are sons of Chamber members, this does not mean that all Jaycees are. He cited examples of locals made up of young farmers, service station operators, dairy employees, law-yers, doctors, salesmen, clerks, and many diversified fields. He urged any( young man between 21 and 35 to contact their local Jaycee Chapter and obtain full information what Jaycees offers him in leadership training and personal development through civic activity. Moss to Introduce Dixie Project Bill Wednesday Senator Frank E. Moss announced that he will in-troduce a Senate Bill to author-ize the Dixie Project. This project provides water for' irrigation of 16,200 acres in Washington County, Utah. It will require two dams, one on the Virgin River at Virgin City, the other on the Santa Clara River near Gunlock. Emphasizing that the regional director of the Bureau of Recla-mation has not yet submitted his feasibility report, and that the bill's provisions may have to be revised when that report is com-pleted. Senator Moss said: A. 7 "Early introduction of the bill will put the matter before Con-gress and let the Senate Interior Committee of which I am a member, know that the Dixie Project is being readied for Con-gressional action. This will help prepare the way for hearings and full consideration as soon as the facts have been sufficient-ly reported by the Interior De-partment. "In . addition to the two dams, the bill calls for tunnels, canals, pumping plants and other works an adjacent hydroelectric power plant and transmission system at Virgin City, and diversion works for. the dispersion of sa-line water at LaVerkin Springs. The Senator recalled that the interest rate provisions on the Colorado River Storage Project, written to be based on yield of governmental obligations, had had to be rewritten to be based on the interest cost rate. He continued: "In my Dixie Project bill, I have followed exactly the in-terest rate language of the Nor-man bill which was passed by Congress last year setting the rate on the basis of the computed average interest rate payable by the treasury upon its outstand-ing marketable obligations." Discussing a time table for the project, Senator Moss said that after the preliminary report gets to Washington, it must be re-viewed by the Interior Depart-ment and submitted to the state of Utah for study and comment. Final consideration of the bill might not come until the 1962 session of Congress, he said. Mr. Kennedy's Responsibilities (Continued from Page One) of the United States next week he will become the temporal leader of what is generally called the Christian world at a critical time in the history of mankind. The United States is the Good Samaritan to which Christian people in many lands look for strength, understanding, com-passion, freedom and guidance. If we fail, and Communism takes over, Christianity may face its darkest day in almost 2,000 years. As President of the most powerful, prosperous and generous nation on earth, Mr. Kennedy will have a great responsibility not alone to the United States but to the peoples of all nations who aspire to freedom and peace. Communist leaders are atheists who reject Christian prin ciples and teachings. Their only "religion" is power and force, ruthlessly used to stamp out freedom and deny Christ's teaching that in the sight of God there is no distinction of class, wealth, race, color, position or power. They talk of "peace," but the peace they seek is a world in which there no longer is any opposition to communism and domination by communist leaders. Communism is the antithesis of Christianity. The great world struggle for the minds and the souls of men is between Christian freedom and pagan dictatorship. Mr. Kennedy becomes President at a time of unprecedented world crisis; at a time when the Free World must match force with force, and pray that it will not have to be used. It is a terrible responsibility that requires both wisdom and patience. We walk on the brink of disaster, where just one mis-take could plunge the whole world into an unthinkable catas-trophe. Four out of every ten people in the world live under the domination of ruthless communist leaders. The spread of com-munist influence threatens to engulf another four of the ten in Asia, South America and Africa, as it already has in Cuba. As President of the most powerful of the so-call- ed Christian nations, Mr. Kennedy faces a challenge and a responsibility perhaps unparalled since the pagan hordes of Asia crushed civilization into the Dark Age. Great Pantomimist To Appear at U. of U. Marcel Marceau, the world's greatest living pantomimist, will return for the second time to Kingsbury Hall stage Friday as headliner on the University art-ist Series, sponsored by the Uni-versity of Utah Extension Divi-sion. The celebrated French artist is currently on his third North American tour, which opened Sept. 6 with a record breaking run at the New York City Cen-ter. Accompanying him will be pantomimist Pierre Verry of M. Marceau's "Compagnie de Mime," who, as Presenter of Cards, was seen here with Mar-ceau when he appered here in 1958. Democratic Volunteers Pitch in to Ready Inaugural Lights burn until midnight in the offices of the 1961 In augural headquarters in the Liberty Loan, Building in Wash ington, D.C., and the people who keep them burning night after night are an army of volunteers. Housewives, federal judges, college students, senators wives and top-notc- h secretaries are working side by side, accord ing to Mrs. India Edwards, chairman of the Volunteer Parti cipation Committee. Most of them type lists, file cards and stuff the invitations to inaugural events into envelopes. "Nearly at housand people have volunteered since De cember 21, and only two have found the jobs assigned thoei too humble," she said. Some days the volunteer roster looks like a Who's Who in Washington. Mrs. Edward H. Foley, wife of the chairman of the Inaugural Committee, who spent days as an envelope stuffer and sealer, and Mrs. William Proxmire, wife of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin, have been among volunteers. Sentor Proxmire's secretary, the secretary of Former Secre-tary of Interior Oscar Chapman, and four secretaries from the office of Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson are among the many secretaries who rush from their regular jobs to volunteer at Inaugural headquarters. Skilled secretarial help is much in demand at Inaugural headquarters but Mrs. Edwards admits that often her committee coordinators must send the most skilled to President-elec- t John F. Kennedy's offices to handle the mountains of mail connected with the Inauguration that arrive there daily. i |
