fine community projects.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors, this young man’s or
ganization pledged its support to
the Red Cross for the sponsorship
of the Red Cross Bloodmobile
visit here in September. As loyal
partners, the Jaycettes gave their
stamp of approval and agreed to
make it a joint affair.
Jaycee President Ronnie Stan
ley, said:
“We are happy to throw our
support behind this fine commun
ity project. Modern medical de
vices need blood. Like fuel to the
engines of industry, blood keeps
the apparatus of healing going.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile pro
gram is a highly regarded system
which performs a generous and
efficient service. As long as this
volunteer type of program is in
existence, the residents of this
community can feel protected
against heavy expense and the
trouble involved in obtaining blood
if they ever need it.
Three able and willing Jaycee
workers, John Williams, Jim Pin
son and Charles Jay, have agreed
to act as chairmen of the project
and have already begun work to
ward the September visit of the
Bloodmobile.
“Though we are happy to lend
our efforts there would be no pro
gram at all without the coopera
tion of many fine workers and the
wonderful donors. We will work
hard and we are counting on all
the good people in Perry to help
make this project 100 per cent
successful.”

Kiwanis Addressed
By Rev. Billy Key
The Rev. Billy Key, pastor of
the Perry Methodist Church, in a
“Talk to Khruschev” told Perry
Kiwanians Tuesday that the lead
er might bury us, although he
doubts it, but he will never bury
our way of life, our Christ and
the God he never discovered.
“The greatest difference be
tween Communism and our demo
cracy is belief in Almighty God,”
Mr. Key said. “All these other
wonderful things we have in this
country derive from our everlast
ing belief in God.”
If Russia gets to the moon, even
if before America does, Mr. Key
said, he would tell Khruschev
“you’ll find the footprints of one
who was there before either of us
—God.”
“Who made the universe . . .
who set the cosmic clock . . . who
holds up our earth?” would be
questions Mr. Key put to the Rus
sian premier.
Mr. Key was introduced by Hijgh
Lawson, program chairman.
