In
an
address
on

movement.
"Sticking
their

out"
in
the
interests
of

for

good
has
long
been
a
hallmark
of
JayCees
whose
members
are
mostly
young

starting
business

professional
careers,
he
said.
This
spirit
of
adventure
is
fostered
and
directed
by
the
training
programs
of
the
Junior

He
compared
the
Junior

to
the
Rotary
Club
In
that
its
activities
are
on
a
local,
regional,

and
International
scale.

This

In
