Pounded On Community Service
The Jaycee organization is founded
„ the principle that service to the
i,?^munity is the responsibility of every
^‘*Zen. Since its beginning in 1920, this
jj^Wonal organization of young men has
-active in many important civic
j.'^ojects in their respective communi-
throughout the nation,
lij '' ®^3mple, the local Jaycees have
j ^ sponsored a Teen-age Road-e-o,
of a national project of the Jay-
Its purpose is to encourage safe
driving among high school students.
Another national program in which
the local Jaycees take part is the an
nual beauty pageant to choose “Miss
Tri-City.” Such local pageants are the
basis of the annual “Miss America”
beauty pageant at Atlantic City.
The Tri-City Jaycees were among
the first in North Carolina to sponsor
such a pageant and have been instru
mental in keeping the program going on
a state-wide basis.
The local Jaycees have actively sup
ported the Tri-City Community Fund
since its beginning. The Jaycees gave
$1000 to the building fund for the new
Morehead Memorial Hospital.
The money came from the sale of
waste paper, proceeds from a “follies”
show they sponsored, and a part of the
proceeds from the beauty pageant.
Children are a special concern of
the Jaycees and the young men take
perhaps the greatest interest in their
Christmas Cheer program. Each year,
through the sale of Christmas trees and
with the help of local merchants they
give “baskets” to deserving families.
The large cartons filled with basic
foods and toys are delivered in person
by the Jaycees late on Christmas Eve.
Members report that the satisfaction of
bringing cheer to less fortunate ones
is a highlight of their Jaycee careers.
