Show Ofem Jaycees Contribute Much To Community Tbe Junior Chamber of Commerce, Com-merce, known today as Jaycees, was founded In 1915 by Henry Glessenbier as an organlza-tion organlza-tion to tap the great potential vitality of young men. it became a national organization In 1920 with the affiliation of twenty-nine twenty-nine organizations. Today it is an organization of over 5,000 chapters in the U. S. with representation rep-resentation in ninty-four countries count-ries of the world. The Jaycees exist for two primary purposes: first is individual in-dividual or personal development (generally referred to as Leadership Lead-ership Training); second is community com-munity development. The Jaycee organization is made up of young men from the age of twenty-one through thirty-five. thirty-five. Jaycees are called "Young Men of Action.' The organization offers of-fers a lot of varied experience to its members. A Jaycee career car-eer usually begins with being a committee member. This gives him an opportunity to observe and work with other young men in leadership roles. Following this, the first big challenge for a Jaycee Jay-cee comes when he is selected .. to be a chairman of a project. There is no better way to learn the importance of effective organization or-ganization and to motivate volunteer vol-unteer workers than to be a successful, suc-cessful, project chairman. Leadership Lead-ership ina volunteer organization can only be acquired by the experience ex-perience of accepting responsibilities respon-sibilities and working with fellow members. The Jaycee organization gives a young man the opportunity of assuming leadership without actually ac-tually holding an official leadership lead-ership position. Through the years Jaycee'Leadership Training" Train-ing" has guided thousands of young men into better jobs, better bet-ter social lives, has given them experience b; public speaking, it has given them the opportunity opportun-ity "to express their ideas to others, and to learnto work with people and to get people to work for them. In Jaycees, getting the job done through good leadership lead-ership is important, but mistakes mis-takes are not costly. More than one member has tackled an important im-portant assignment and failed, but in failing he learned many things. The next time he tackled a job he succeded. In business a failure fail-ure might have an effect on your future, but his is not true in the Jaycees where one has no right to expect perfection. We as Jaycees are part of Orem citizens, with a responsibility responsi-bility to voice our opinions, vote for the qualified city officials, cooperate with all city departments, depart-ments, and cooperate in undertakings under-takings designed to make our city more progressive. Also, we have the opportunity to meet and associate as-sociate with civic leaders and other prominent citizens. Jaycees Jay-cees are young men working to improve the community by conducting con-ducting community improvement and service projects. The first meeting of the Orem Jaycees was held in 1946 with Keith Boyer as president, Rulon West and Clyde Lunceford as vice presidents, and Dixon Lar-sen Lar-sen as secretary. Our organizational organiza-tional structure now consists of a president, two vice presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, three directors, and the general membership. mem-bership. Some of the major contributions contribu-tions to the community have been as follows: Organized and supplied sup-plied manpower for the first volunteer fire department - Organized Or-ganized placement of traffic control con-trol lights on State Street -Campaigned for better postal service - Prepared Orem City Map Presented the first Miss Orem Pageant - Established a playground for the Beverly Subdivision Sub-division - Donated money for the landscaping of Orem High School grounds - Conducted a Community Commun-ity Attitude Survey - Started Annual Easter Egg Hunt - Developed De-veloped Orem CityCanyonPark-Presented CityCanyonPark-Presented "Education & You informational forums - Renovat-, A County United IMDA has been a prime factor ki the building of a new atmosphere of progress and development in Utah County.

DUP Organization By Winnie T. Graff Daughters of Pioneers Organization Or-ganization is not considered a social club. It was organized April Ap-ril 4, 1901, with Ammie M. Taylor Tay-lor Hyde as president and incorporated in-corporated under status ofStates of Utah, April 2, 1925. The Constitution Con-stitution of the association as revised October 2, 1948 became a part of the National Society of the Daughters of Pioneers with headquarters in Salt Lake. National Na-tional Conventions are held twice a year, and County Conventions once a year. The object is to perpetuate the names and achievements of the men, women, and children who were the founders of this commonwealth: com-monwealth: by preserving old land marks, historical places, collecting relics and histories, establishing libraries of historical histori-cal matter and securing imprinted manuscripts, photographs, maps, and all such data that will aid in perserving materials, thus teaching our citizens the lessons of faith, courage, fortitude, and patriotism. This association, national na-tional in its scope, is solely tor historical educational and public purposes; it is non political and non sectarian. There are county company camps within countys. At present pres-ent there are four companies in Utah County. Dues are a dollar dol-lar a year; 25 cents stays in the camps, 25 cents to county and 50 cents to general. The county meeting is evey month for camp offilcers, and one each month for camp, where lessons of histories fronv General Companys are written and . read by camp members, mem-bers, with three copies made, one for camp, the county, and gen eral. These are made into les sons and books. Many times one can find lost genealogies in these lessons. Each camp buys at least four books a year. To date there have been 27 volumns published by General Company. July 1953, the Utah County was divided into three parts, Orem is in North Utah County and Osa Ferguson was made president over 22 camps. All officers are elected every two years by written writ-ten ballot. In Orem there are seven camps with fourteen to twenty-seven members in each. Windsor camp, organized April 1927 with Elizabeth Baxter Cap tain and Edgemont, divided from Pleasant View in 1935 with Elizabeth Ferguson, captain, have compiled one book. Vineyard taken from Lake View in 1943 with Loretta Blake as captain. Timpanogos was organized March. 1945. with Lilv 'Wentz captain for one year, thenDas- sie Nelson was elected. Timpano gos camD under the able lead ership of Martha Pyne and Jen nie Farley who have compuea two large books and others on the way. These books contain countv histories of Orem mem-- bers, pioneers and native trees, buildings, pictures, and special histories of civic groups. The Orem camp was organized 1945 with Marium Bradshaw the first captain who compiled one book. Timp View divided from Orem February 1951 with Jennie Thorn, captain, Seagull camp April 1959, Dezzie Lamb captain, Provo Bench Oct. 1959 with Grace Hansen Han-sen captain. At present, all Utah county camps are contributing to the cost of placing a marker in the new State Park honoring the past and present recreation ' areas around Utah Lake. Plans are to have the dedication of this event May 17, 1969. We hope to continue to gather histories of the people that helped to build this beautiful country. More camps are needed and young women who will seek out more histories. The great heritage of being a direct descendant of pioneers whose strength of character, devotion de-votion to principle, caused them to sacrifice all they had to conquer con-quer a barren west. Blazing the trail, overcomming countless obstacles, ob-stacles, conquering new frontiers .and finally becoming empire builders, challenges those who are now the recipients of their many sacrifices and struggles. Our responsibility is to pay just and fitting tributes and to honor them In preserving their memory, and hand down to their posterity. Orem-Geneva Times Thursday, May 8.. 1969 Good Sam Club-Highway Club-Highway Angels By DaytonL.Kelley The Good Sam Recreation Vehicle Ve-hicle Club is hardly three years old with a nation-wide membership member-ship over twenty thousand and is still growing. Just a year ago the Good Sam members in Utah were called together in Salt Lake City by State Director James Piatt and were organized into area chapters chap-ters with Utah County as Chapter Chap-ter 2. The Utah County group adopted the name Timp Travelers Trav-elers from Mt. Timpanogos. The goal of the Good Sam Club is to promote safety, good fellowship and the best interests for those who love and wish to preserve the great natural beauty of nature. A Good Sam" recreational vehicle ve-hicle can be identified with a decal of the smiling face of a Good Sam (Samaritan) and can be counted upon to give aid and assistance to fellow travelers. Good Sams pledge themselves to keep their own vehicles in good, safe condition and at all times to obey traffic laws. They pledge themselves to leave campgrounds camp-grounds and parks clean and orderly. or-derly. Timp Travelers elected as its first officers Dayton L. Kelly, president; Merle Ziegler, vice-president; vice-president; O. Jim Newell, wagon-master; wagon-master; Julie Kelly, secretary-treasurer. secretary-treasurer.

Construction of the Bingham and Camp Floyd Railroad in 1873 made possible a ten-year burst of silver and lead mining in Bingham Canyon. The low grade copper ore, however, was not easily smelted and so it was largely ignored. Not until Daniel C. Jackling proved that mass production of low grade ore was economically feasible was the Bingtfam Canyon Mine to come into its own. In April, 1904, an experimental copper ore concentrator con-centrator was completed in lower Bingham Canyon to prove the Jackling theory. Ore was transported to it by the nine-mile Copper Belt Railroad, which shortly afterward was purchased by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. As envisioned by Jackling, large scale processing would be done at a concentrator in the Magna area, nearest source of adequate water. To transport the ore to Magna, the D&RGW in 1905 constructed a branch line known as the Bingham "High Line." Because ore tonnages increased so rapidly, an additional line, the Bingham and Garfield Railway, was constructed and placed in operation in 1911 as a subsidiary of the copper company. In 1947 a new line was constructed to shorten the route of ore haulage over a lower elevation eliminating eliminat-ing the steeper grades and sharper curves. In 1948 the Bingham and Garfield Railway was abandoned as a common carrier. The line became an industrial railroad, and now operates as the Utah Copper Division Divi-sion Ore Haulage Plant. One hundred years ago, the joining of the rails at Promontory made it possible to develop the mineral industry of the West. That development has been a "main line" to the progress of the Utah Copper Division. With pride in its own progress, Kennecott wishes to recognize the significance of the era of "Golden Spike" in saluting the railroad industry which has helped to make Utah and the West great.
