EFFORTTOFORM
JR. C. OF C. HERE
Meeting to Be Held in Town
Hall Friday Evening, April
25 to Organize
ALL YOUNG MEN INVITED

Arthur w. Thomas, a Dover
Jaycee, now employed at the Smyr-
ma Western Auto Association Store,
has announced that all young men
of the Smyrna-Clayton area are in
vited to attend meeting with the
purpose of establishing a unit to be
known as the Smyrna-Clayton Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce. The
Jaycees are nationally known as an
active young mems organization,
active because membership is limit
ed to those between the ages of 21
through 35 years. With such a
group of young men who are deep
ly interested in their community, it
is possible to develop leadership
and at the same time carry out
many constructive projects in
community betterment. These
Jaycees receive training in COM
munity betterment, organization
and effective development of pro-
jects. teamwork in carrying out
their projects, all of which make
them more valuable members of
the community. They soon realize
that they get out of the Jaycees
only what they put into it, and
with young men who are known to
be willing to take a chance, they
will often tackle a problem that
more conservative groups will not
undertake. The initial meeting will
be held on Friday evening, April 25
at Town Hall. Any young man
with an interest in his community
is cordially invited to attend this
first meeting. The Jaycee slide
program consisting of series Of
beautiful color slides and interest
ing recorded commentary will be
shown by VIM. H. Godshall, past
president of the Dover Jaycees, and
the State president, James H. Cen
try will be present to answer ques-
tions about the Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Also present will be
members of other Jaycee organiza-
tions in Delaware, who will tell of
some of their experiences in Jaycee
work. For further information re-
garding this meeting, phone Art

The health of all children in school
