local and state Jaycee officers who
came to Sidney for their Fall
planning meeting. At this meet
ing the delegates from clubs thru
out the state heard reports from
the state officers concerning ac-
tlvltles on a statewide basis dur
ing the coming year. The group
decided on seven projects to re-
celve special attention by local
clubs. These + all projects which
are being carried out by Jaycees
on a national basis also. They
are:
l. Operation Brotherhood

program a a most efficient man
ner.

young farmer in loci areas. The
local winner receives an award
and a trip to the state contest in
Bozeman in March. Tee state
winner receives a trip to he ma
tional contest with four winners
selected nationally. James Strack
was the Sidney winner last year.

itation of funds to support the
United States Olympic team in
its quest for championships at

Our government does not provide

that the Olympics are a powerful
influence toward international
goodwill and are spearheading the
drive.
