                 HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY BAD AXE JAYCEES

                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES A. BARCIA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 1994

  Mr. BARCIA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
pay tribute to the Bad Axe Jaycees, as we celebrate their 25th 
anniversary of dedicated service to our northern Michigan community.
  The U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce, of which I was proud to be a 
member for many years, has about 200,000 members nationwide. The 
members devote a portion of their time to community service in the 
public interest. The organization helps its members develop leadership 
skills, and the understanding of the need for progressive cooperation 
between all elements of the community and government.
  A fixture in our community, the Jaycees represent a conscious choice 
for social responsibility, continually bringing people together to help 
those less fortunate. Through programs like Coats for Kids, Muscular 
Dystrophy Telethons, and the Special Olympics, the Bad Axe Jaycees 
brighten social relationships among all members of our community.
  As a State legislator and long-time Jaycee, I know first hand the 
role of Jaycees in community development. Whether recognizing community 
leaders for outstanding work during their Annual Awards Banquet, or 
improving the aesthetics of our surroundings through City Clean Up and 
Adopt-a-Highway, the Bad Axe Jaycees continue to improve our quality of 
life in Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to salute the continuing efforts of 
the Bad Axe Jaycees as we continue the struggle for economic and social 
equity in our country.
