C. William Brownfield, Active Jaycee Member Twenty-six years ago this coming July, one Jaycee from Columbus, Ohio put into words those thoughts...those aims...those ideals which would guide other Jaycees from that day forth. It was not a dictatorial plan of what he wanted the national and in­ ternational movement to do. But instead, the Jaycee Creed reflected most eloquently, a feeling which was already in the hearts of these young men, most of whom had just returned from World War II. It contained a sense of purpose, which its author, C. William Brownfield, so accurately articulated for young men of that year, and of years to come. No one can completely determine what effect the Jaycee Creed has had on young men around the world, during these 26 years. But one can measure impact. One can evaluate accomplishments. One can see an unbroken stream of success, built on this profound blueprint. It is not uncommon for a man to make his mark, and then vanish into anonymity. Such, however, has not been the case with Bill Brownfield. Traveling the country and the world, this "con­ temporary" Jaycee has visited most of the states and many local chapters - often providing that timely spark which rekindles the fire of enthusiasm. Soon after the J.C.I. Senate was established, the Ohio Jaycees presented him with credentials as Senator No. 197. His own Columbus local presented him with a life membership, as did the governing body of Junior Chamber Internation. At the 1965 National Convention in Buffalo, the US Jaycees installed him as Honorary National President - a position shared with his friend Andy Mungenast, first secretary and right hand of the founder, Henry Giessenbier. Of these honors he is justly proud. Unfortunately, lady luck has not smiled upon his business ventures, as it has upon his lovely family life. But Bill's spirit and keen interest in civic affairs are still there. He has continued to speak to Jaycees and other organizations, emphasizing the need for Americans to "Preserve, Perfect and Extend Human Freedom." It has not always been easy. For the past 19 years, Bill has had Multiple Sclerosis, being confined to a wheelchair since 1962. He likes to recall the kindness of countless Jaycees who have been his helpers, making possible the continuation of the speaking tour. Now, at age 55, Bill Brownfield is engaged in a project of major proportions. About 3 years ago, a friend took him to a meeting of top leaders from many professions who had been studying the problems of severely injured patients, served by the Ohio State University's medical center. Bill was amazed by facts which he learned there - facts, he was certain, most people of the nation know little about. Living under almost total paralysis, these young citizens are faced with insurmountable odds. He decided to work toward a national organization to aid these forgotten young men and women. The number is growing drastically, as a result of accidents and war injuries. NUMBER ONE - LI t--Hj, MM M Jaycuos •••--mi Out fee MeHeury Ares Jaycees Kad been selected at No. 1 local chapter.

The Bar-B-Q was a huge success, with proceeds from the dinners going toward the construction of a sidewalk. It will run from Whispering Oaks to the west campus high school, The title Bill has chosen for thi§ endeavor is "Hie Candle - Citizens Assisting Nerve Damaged Life Effort. This movement would include not only affiliate, local groups, but res­ idence facilities, to help ease the burden on parents and families. Most of all, "The Candle" would restore dignity and a degree of independence to quadriplegics and paraplegics everywhere. Bill was given the backing of the U.S. Jaycees Executive Committee at the 1969 convention in Louisville Needless to say, the Jaycees could have a crucial role in the future success of this project. Time and fate have physically changed C. William Brownfield - but not mentally or spiritually. The man, who in 1946 wrote, "Service to Humanity is the Best Work of Life," is very much alive in Columbus. Ohio, planning a new way to serve. PS. Bill passed away in February. 1971. along the Crystal Lake blacktop, for the safety of youth Who walk to and from school. The proceeds from the pies and lemonade and coffee will go toward future projects. The Jaycees are grateful for 1 the success of the Bar-B-Q.
