Throughout ttfe Weeks of the year, they demonstrate their interest in making their community better by actively workirig for a better McHenry. This is their week -- Jaycee Week. " • The Junior Chamber of Commerce was established forty- . three years ago in St. Louis, Ma, by Heriry GiesSeribier, Jr., 4 yoUng nirin who felt that the young meh of hli comriiunity ^ould mold the society in which they were to be the future Beaders, to help correct civic problems, arid to be of the ttest service to their community through organization, an ' drganization specifically for therit, and brie which emphasized ielf help arid learning through efforts in their respective comriiunities. No other organization ptece^ such eriiphasfs ori the a£e group 21 to 35 nor does any other emphasize the development arid growth of the individual with Regard to cotrimunity responsibility. I'he Jaycee movement has: spread'so rapidly that today it etlOompasses all the fifty, states and tWerity-four foreign countries with a riiembership of 10,000 iri the state of Illinois alone. Being a young group, World War tt saw 85 per cent df the rttembersfilb in service and Ih 1914 a war memorial was proposed at the Omaha conference to commemorate the gallantry of the membership. The local level of the Jtinior Chamber of Commerce is the backbone of the entire organization arid the community and its problems are its prime concern. All these aims are coupled with a firm resolve to develop leadership qualities iri the young rijfen of the comriiunity. Here, iri McHenry, the Jaytees started just a short three years ago and can already point proudly to such accomplishnwrits as the McHenry Area Survey, which assisted the City Co Uriel 1 in evalttatirig the prominent needs of McHenry, the Community Council which united the city's organizations for combined action when called for, the Safety Doll program to develop the awareness oi the children of the lower grade levels to trfrffib safety, arid mariy more. The Jayiees giye our youhjg me'ft the opportunity to discufes problems and through common effort, overcome them. In fact, the national and international scope of this Concept permits stich free exchange of ideas and is such a grass roots source of information that the Jonior Chamber of. Commerce is the only organization of its type which te recognized by t&e United Nations as an official advisor. McHenry and is again emp* byed at the Overton garage.
