In a panel discussion Of how

out that there were two important
factors to deal with in the clubs
operations; namely, personnel and
projects. Referring to projects he
said 1--WE feel it is our duty, as
an organization, to carry out all
projects that are directly related
to the war effort
Among the things related to the
war effort which it was felt the
Jaycees could carry out were
scrap paper drives, the sponsoring
Of war Bond programs, rehabilita-
ticn of returning servicemen, en-
tertainment of soldiers, continuity
of programs that might sell the
City of Wilmington to all men Of
the service, continued solicitation
for Red Cross funds, and support
of the proposed city memorial
auditorium.

West concluded, land this should
be the uppermost thought in our
minds

to an economy of free enterprise
and a life that is abundant, whole

club that we continue to sponsor
our Americanism programs on a
broader scale, if possible. This is

American institutions are on trial"

adopt the National Organizations
slogan "Americanism Is Your
