sociation will hold its monthly
meeting Wednesday, April 7,

Dues are nominal—sl per year
—but more essentially needed

dance of parents in this pro
gram. Over 900 children will
register this year for the vari
ous activities offered and the
Little League still has need of
coaches and managers.
Join other Interested parents

‘INNER SPACE NOW NEEDS
DISCOVERING,’ SAYS GOE
BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St. Baptist Church
One of the great events of
history took place last Wed
nesday as the rocket landed on
the moon. The television ca
meras sent live pictures back
and we watched the approach
from 1,300 miles off the
moon. As the approach was
made the craters grew larger
and more distinct. The views
were almost perfect as they
headed toward impact. When

TIME IS GETTING SHORT—OnIy two more Saturdays remain for boys to sign up for the Babe
Ruth League play this summer. The Ruth League is sponsored each year by the Forest Park
Athletic Association. Twelve teams, ages 13-15 play. Practice begins May 15. Boys are urged
to stop by this Saturday and register. Here Is a Ruth Action photo with Frank Cates at bat.

and subdue the earth. This is
a partial continuation of this
task.
We marvel at these achieve
ments and it will be only the
beginnings of space advance
during the coming generations.
I am grateful for these scien
tific achievements and the in- -
sights they give us Into the
wonders of God’s world.
There Is another searchwhlch
must be made. We must begin
to discover inner space. The
mind and heart of man is yet
an undiscovered reality. Man
has yet to really find his po
tential.
Actually we only find oursel
ves, when we find ourselves In
God. Jesus said, “Seek ye first
the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness and all of these
things shall be added to you.”
Truly In Christ we find values
and strength that we never
dreamed possible.
CLAYTON CIVIC
CLUB OPENS

The board of trustees of the
Clayton Civic Club, Inc., an
nounce the opening of the Clay

corner of Highway 54 & Tan

is still going on. All citizens
of the county are invited to
visit the store. The net pro
fits of the store will be used
for charitable and civic pur
poses. The mark-up on gro
ceries is low, therefore a vo
lume of business will be need
ed. Rather than continuously
ask for donations the Civic
Club asks only that you trade
with its store and various other
businesses.
The Civic Club Is In the pro
cess of Installing a barbershop
next to the grocery which will
be operated on the same basis.

WHAT ARE THE
JAYCEES?
This is the first of a series of articles to help you uhder
stand what the Jaycees are doing—not only in our com
munity but all over the world to help make our communi
ties a better place in which to live. This is the perfect
expression of spirit which lives in the hearts of Jaycees.
No other group offers so much to young men between the
ages of 21 - 36.
One commonly held miscon
ception should be erased at
the start.
The Jaycees Is not a branch
of the Chamber of Commerce.
In many circumstances the two
organizations work together,
and rightly so, but there Is no
official connection between the
groups. The Jaycee organiza
tion is also different from
others In that there are no
occupational classifications or
limitations to determine mem
bership. This means there
could be no question as to a
man’s eligibility In the Jay
cees—regardless of how he
earns his living. Young men who
are owners or managers of
companies to station atten
dants work side by side in the
Jaycees.
Our organization exists for
two main purposes: to serve
our community and to offer
leadership training to its mem
bers. As young men, Jaycees
occasionally make mistakes
and attempt more than they can
finish. But more often than not
we surprise our elders by
actually doing what they were
' reluctant to try. One reason
the Jaycees embark on con
troversial projects which other
organizations pass by is be
cause Jaycees would rather
“rock the boat than miss It!”
In the Jaycees there is no
such word as “impossible.”
No job or task is too big, too
small or too unimportant for
us In our community. By serv
ing our community, by partici
pating In the varied projects,
our members gain courage,
conviction and enthusiasm.
This experience we call lea
dership training. By believing
that any job can be done, and
done well with the energies
and sweat of young men, is a
contagious factor among Jay
cees. The key word for the Jay
cees Is Action and Is the life
line of Jaycee spirit.
Membership in the Junior
Chamber of Commerce can and
should be one of the most im
portant decisions In your life.
While family and job obliga
tions may take precedence, Jay
cee activity can still be of tre
mendous significance and can
contribute to family happiness,
business success and personal
maturity.
Despite the tremendous poten
tial of Jaycee membership, none
of its benefits Is automatic.
The member who do ’ no more
than pay dues will gain .. thing.
This holds true In every facet
of life today. The person who
would like a voice In the affairs
of his community, a stake In
the future growth of his city,
making new friends or develop
ing administrative abilities,
will find himself vitally inter
ested in the activity that spells
success for a Jaycee.
If this arouses your interest in
becoming a Jaycee, contact me
by writing to P 0 Box 51,
Forest Park, or phoning 767-
3539.
