Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I would like to use this means to tell you why I joined the Greencastle Jaycees and why I am proud of being a Jaycee during this Jaycee Week here in Greencastle. It has often been said that young men CAN change the world . . . that’s a rather bold statement. But yet, history has proven this to be true many times . . . and even today in our complex world, young men with desire and imagination are continuing to guide and influence the destiny of our nation. Our organization is composed of many of these young men who are playing a major role in business, industry, science, education, government and other important fields. But how long do I as an individual fit into this so-called “Big Picture?” Let me assure you that, as an individual, I can’t! But as a Jaycee, I have the opportunity to participate and play an important role in our program for a better tomorrow. Now you may ask . . . what IS the Jaycee organization ? Briefly, we are a group of wideawake young men who are anxious to get ahead in life and are willing to devote a part of our spare time to community activities. Because we are known, in some areas, as the Junior Chamber of Commerce, many identify us as a junior section of the Chamber of Commerce. This is NOT the case. W T e have our own officers, our own treasury and carry out propects independently of any other group. We do, however, work WITH many community organizations, i n c 1 u d ing the Chamber of Commerce toward major community goals. Neither are we a social club, a lodge or a fraternity. While we encourage fellowship among our members, it serves merely as a means to an end to get effective action by young men on worthy projects. You want to know who we are, well we come from ALL walks of life ... 10.000 occupations are represented. Membership qualifications are reetricted in only two areas. First, the age. You must be between the ages of 21 and S5, both inclusive. Second, you must be of good moral character and interested in improving yourself AND the community. There are NO restrictions as to race, creed, profession or
qualification.
Our purpose Is simple, but through the years this purpose has fired the imagination of countless thousands of young men . . . leadership training through community development. In many areas, leadership training means developing top executives and political leaders. But in our organization it extends to developing the individual by drawing out his abilities and know'-how. Leadership MEANS getting things done through people. We try to accomplish this training by practicing community development. When I participate in a community project, I learn organization, assignment of responsibility, c o m m u nications and group dynamics. I LEARN through practical experiences. Let’s pause for a moment and take a look at the background of our organization. A young St. Louis bank clerk. Henry Giessenbier, spurred by

million in over 6,000 communities in the United States alone. To serve this dynamic group, we have a national headquarters located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our state office is located in Indianapolis. Our national building was occupied in 1951 and was dedicated to those Jaycees who gave their lives for freedom in World War II. The futuristic structure houses a full time staff of over 100 professional people who administer the national business of the organization on a budget of over l 1 /^ million dollars a year. Service to their chapters is their every-
day business.
Although the Junior Chamber was started in our country, it by no means stopped there. Today, there are Jaycee chapters in almost every nation of the free world. Our world wide alliance is known as Junior Chamber International or JCI and has its world headquarters in Miami, Florida. Young men of many faiths and languages are working together to build better international relations— and their individual nations. It is interesting to note that we have no official organizations in the dictatorial states—as our goals and basic beliefs do not fit into their plans. A line in our Creed states that “government should be of LAWS, rather than of men.** This worldwide group is playing a major role in the struggle for a better tomorrow. Former President Dwight Eisenhower once said that Junior Chamber International has become the world’s greatest non-military weapon in the fight for world peace. Although many expressions have been spoken and printed about the Jaycee ideals, it remained for Bill Brownfield, a member of the Columbus, Ohio, Jaycees to put into words the Jaycee Creed which best expresses the underlying ideals of
the movement.

And I haven’t left the girls out. Our chapter has an auxiliary unit of wives which provides assistance to us on special projects requiring special or adi ditional skills such as typing, registration at youth events and many others. This not only gives the wife a feeling of participation in the community, but builds a deeper understanding of our time spent away from home on Jaycee meetings
and activities.
Now let's talk about me . . . and what I get out of the Jaycee program. Recall that leadership training I spoke of earlier: through active participation in projects, I gain experience in public speaking . . . learn to organize my thoughts more effectively . . . and express them more confidently. I learn to work WITH people to get people to work FOR me. Again through project activity, I have the opportunity to participate in community programs, serve on civic committees and take a real and meaningful part in the direction of our community. I became known to business and civic leaders and, because of my youth and enthusiasm, I gain an active voice in community afafirs. And how about by own career? Being a Jaycee implies to my boss and others that I am ambitious and enthusiastic , . . ready to tackle ANY job and assume ANY responsibility. As a Jaycee, I am given responsibilities usually entrusted to older, more experienced men. When advancement opportunities come, I will be READY for them.

The membership controls the direction, policy and activity of the chapter. A Board of Directors, elected by the general membership once each year, serves to coordinate and carry out the policies and projects of the chapter. The Board consists of a president, two vice presidents, a secretary, a treasurer and one or more directors.
IS GOD THE FATHER OF ALL?
So many spook of H10 brotherhood oF all men under the Fatherhood oF God that one might imagine it to be a Christian concept.
It is not.
Not according to Jesus. He said that some who claimed to be children oF God were, instead, “oF your Father, the Devil.'' (John 8:38-44. Read it Far yourselF.) "like Father, like son" is a biblically sound prinicple. Those who act like the Devil, lying and hating, simply reveal whose children they are. Children oF God are supposed to be like God. Not that we become His children by imitating Him, but once we are His, we will begin to bear His likeness. How do we become God's children? The Bible indicates thot this happens only when one truly receives Jesus Christ into his liFe (John 1:12). Soe you in church this Sunday? Grace Baptist Church
Well, sir, here I have, In as brief a form as possible, the reason why I am a Greencastle Jaycee. Lacking in this presentation is much of the excitement, glamor and fun that goes with being a Jaycee. These things can only be experienced by BEING a Jaycee. I invite any young man between the ages of 21 through 35 to become ACTIVE in the Greencastle Jaycees.

ing’s replacement, utility man par excellence Dick Tharp, played about 10 minutes in a relief role. He got nine timely points and three rebounds. DePauw got off to a staggering 1S-3 lead with McCormick hitting eight points. Valpo Coach Gene Bartow finally platooned four men to go with high scoring Dick Jones at the 13 minute mark. Jones, who finished with 29 points, finally found the range and helped drive the startled Crusaders to within eight, 31-23, with 5:25 left In the half. But DePauw, showing unusual poise and dominating both boards with McCormick, Jackson and McGurk relentlessly getting the second and third tips, snuffed out the threat. McCormick hit a tipin, added a 20-footer, and Browning reciprocated with a layup and a pair of freethrows for a 39-23 margin with 3:41
left.
Valpo raised another threat three minutes into the second half after the Tigers had held a 47-37 intermission lead. The Crusaders hit three straight buckets to slash the score to 54- 47, DePauw; but McCormick came back with a basket and a singleton and Jackson hit from out for a 59-47 edge. The now 6-5 Tigers ran the margin to 83-65 before Valpo got off its last surge. Four straight baskets narrowed DePauw’s margin to 85-77 with 4:32 to play. So Browning sank a free throw, Jackson scored a basket and McCormick hit a pair of foul shots for a 90-77 bulge. Valpo never got closer than 12 the rest of the way and Larry Downs, one of five reserves McCall used, hit DePauw’s final two points with 30 seconds left. The Tigers were one basket shy of finishing with .500 shooting. They hit 39 of 80 from the field and 25 of 36 at the line. Valpo hit 34 of 93 and had a gusty 21 of 25 at the line. DePauw outrebounded the hosts, 55- 47.
