Jaycees Plan Contribution To Local Progress In Years Ahead The Illinois Jaycees and Jaycees across the nation are dedicated to serving local communities through constructive action projects. Through these projects they strive not only to make our communities better places in which to live, but also to develop leadership qualities in individual members. The national board of directors have felt so strongly about the importance of this service to communities that for the past six years they have designated Community Development as the No. 1 national Jaycee project. The Community Development program begins with a survey of the citizenry to determine the community's major problems and most pressing needs. After these are analyzed to determine what is needed to effect a solution, the local Jaycee chapter, taking into consideration its available resources in manpower and money, decided to undertake a specific project. The Illinois Jaycees has grown rapidly during the past few years, both in total membership (10,000) and in number of chapters (240). Though community development is still the primary goal, they feel that with increased membership they can expand interest to include industrial development as well. Both have the sameNjbjective -- by improving business climate and living conditions to make the community a wholesome, healthful and profitable place in which to live and work. They feel they are in the age group which has the most to gain by improving the local economy. It appears that the Jaycees will be contributing their share toward local progress in the years ahead.

In fact, all but a very few members of the House of Representatives spoke favorably of this legislation, and have supported this people-to-people program between our nation and other nations throughout the world. Reports from private sources, with few exceptions, indicate that the Peace Corps has been one of the most successful federal operations ever undertaken. Invariably, our Peace Corps volunteers have improved the American image wherever they have served. They have been the best emissaries of good will and freedom which our government has been able to develop. From the standpoint of administrative cost, American taxpayers should be heartened by the fact that there are seven Peace Corps volunteers in the field for each administrative employee. It is anticipated that this will increase to a 10-to-l ratio before the end of next year. Quite a contrast is reported in the operations of this corps of young and old serving the cause of peace and the military services which require thirty-five persons behind desks for each man in the field in uniform. Peace Corps volunteers from the 12th Congressional district include Kathleen M. Brandos from Barrington who is an elementary teacher in Monrovia, Liberia; Norman Coble from Belvidere who works with I livestock in La Paz, Bolivia; Daniel Martin from Belvidere, | a science teacher in Belize City, British Honduras; Meredith MacKusick from Crystal Lake, who works on fiscal and budget matters in Monrovia, Liberia; Susan Baarsch from Deerfield, an elementary teacher aide in Manila. Philippines; Florence Dacey from Grayslake, teaching English in Lagos, Nigeria; Linda Millette from Grayslake, a social science teacher in Blantyre, Nyasaland; Carl Sikes from Grayslake, teaching English in Ankara, Turkey; Catherine Riesner from Highland Park, a social work aide in Lima, Peru; Susan Neyer from Lake Bluff, an elementary teacher aide in Manila, Philippines; Stuart Ullmann from Lake Bluff, who is working on panchayat development in Katmandu, Nepal; Susan Beatty from Lake Forest, teaching English in Monrovia, Liberia; Deborah Graff from Lake Forest. an English teacher in San Jose, Costa Rica; Conway Olmsted, Jr., from Lake Forest, who is teaching English in Lima, Peru. Also Timothy Smucker from Lake Forest, working on irrigation projects in Rabat, Morrocco; Lee Makela from Liberty ville, an English teacher in Bangkok, Thailand; Josephine Metelko from Mundelein, who is using her business skills in Yaounde, Cameroon; Roy Holm from Wauconda, working in industrial arts in Lagos, Nigeria; Nancy L. O'Leary from Woodstock, a social worker in Lima, Peru; Dennis Stolldorf from Woodstock, who is working as a civil engineer- in Karachi, Pakistan; Gerald Kinsman from Zion, doing industrial design work in Lima, Peru; and Robert Roush of Woodstock, who is helping to organize a group of volunteers in Malaysia. Carol Jensen of Lake Bluff is employed as a secretary for the Peace Corps in Washington. These young people are illustrative of the outstanding personalities which have distinguished the Peace Corps program to date. Miss Marnie Stuart of Lake Forest worked in the Peace Corps office in Washington during the past summer. She reported to me, personally, concerning the efficient and meaningful manner in which the program was developing to promote our foreign relations and national welfare, as well as the welfare of the nations where Peace Corps volunteers serve. Former Rep. Marguerite Stitt Church, who served that part of our 12th Congressional district lying in Lake county, was a strong advocate of the Peace corps program. While the wisdom of many of our foreign aid programs may be questioned, there is substantial agreement on the part of Republicans and Democrats alike that the Peace Corps, and other person-to-person programs, contribute most to the cause of peace and to diminishing the threat of Communism. MARGARET KOLAR Mrs. Margaret Ann Kolar of 7107 W. Oak street, Indian Ridge, Wonder Lake, died unexpectedlyof a heart attack at her riorSelate Saturday night, Nov. 25P She was 54 years of age.

Leaders Are Made - Not Born Within 4-H Organization Leaders are made -- not born, at least in the 4-H organization, and the process is a long one. At the end of this year, twelve outstanding young people will be honored by their 4-H friends for having the best leadership ability in the fifty states, selected by the Cooperative Extension service. Each will receive a $500 college scholarship and expense paid trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, >nd in addition, the state winner will enjoy a free trip to the 4-H Congress. When young people remain in club work through their mid-teens, they are found to make notable progress in one or more phases of 4-H activities. One of these is leadership development. \ In this program, they are assisted by adult leadersxto learn the meaning of responsibility and take on extra work to carry out special projects involving the entire membership. Small, familiar tasks are advanced to the more difficult ones which provide a challenge. Memory takes us back through the years as we recall a number of local 4-H youths who gained an outstanding quality of leadership and responsibility through this organization. It has carried over into their adult lives as they are numbered among our best citizens.
