Show Let's Try Again Doug McNeil, a national director for the Junior Chamter of Commerce (J-C) was in town last week attempting at-tempting to reorganize the now defunct Park City chapter chap-ter of that organization. The local chapter previously under the direction of Dave Parkinson was disbanded two years ago because of a seemingly seem-ingly lack of interest. McNeil was trying to get 20 young men together between be-tween the ages of 18 and 35 who are interested in participating par-ticipating in the revised organisation or-ganisation and plans to hold a meeting at the "Car 19" Monday evening. According to McNeil, all it takes is a group of 20 men in order to receive a national charter. J-C organizations across the nation have a member ship of 330,000 and are primarily pri-marily concerned in civic projects as well as playing an effective role in government. govern-ment. Last year the Utah chapters chap-ters which numbered 1,200 in membership were first in the nation as far as community commun-ity projects were concerned and were also recognized as the fastest growing. According to McNeil, before be-fore each legislative session in Salt Lake City, the J-C's get together and review each piece of proposed legislation legisla-tion and either approve or disapprove its passage. Apparently Ap-parently the J-C's have an effective voice in Utah's government gov-ernment as 90 per cent of those bills which they approved ap-proved also receive legislative legis-lative approval. The same holds true for those bills they disapprove. |
