             CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS TO NORTON YOUNGLOVE

                                 ______


                            HON. KEN CALVERT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 21, 1994

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, the county of Riverside, CA has been 
extremely fortunate during its history to have many dedicated citizens 
who have been willing to contribute their time and talents to help make 
our community an exceptionally good place in which to live and work. 
For the better part of four decades, one of the most dedicated and 
active of these citizens has been Mr. Norton Younglove.
  Mr. Younglove is a native of Riverside. He was born in 1929, and 
attended local public schools before traveling to Oregon to obtain his 
BA in public administration and political science at Willamette 
University. After a stint in the U.S. Army Signal Corps in Korea, 
Norton returned to Riverside to work several years in his family's oil 
business before beginning a career as a teacher of government and 
history at Sierra Junior High and Ramona High School in Riverside. A 
decade later, Norton Younglove decided to put in practice the lessons 
about government that he had learned and taught.
  Norton was first elected to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors 
in 1971, and has served in that position continuously ever since. For 
nearly a quarter of a century in office he has helped guide our county 
through an era of unprecedented progress. During that time, he has 
striven to be fair to everyone, and has worked diligently to manage 
rapid growth and development to keep it from destroying the natural 
assets which have attracted so many people to our area of southern 
California.
  Norton has always believed that his job of representing the people of 
Riverside County entailed much more than attending board meetings and 
casting votes. He has involved himself in a myriad of activities at the 
county, regional, and State levels. These include serving as: chairman 
of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District; 
a founding member of the board of directors of the Riverside Transit 
Agency; chairman of the Habitat Conservation District; executive board 
member of the Inland Manpower Association; past member of the governing 
body of the Inland Counties Health Systems Agency; member of the 
Regional Airport Authority; former board member of the Inland Empire 
Labor Management Council; former chairman of the County Supervisors 
Association of California; founding chairman of the California 
Association of Councils of Government; and a member of the southern 
California earthquake preparedness project, policy advisory board.
  For his entire adult life, no one has worked harder or contributed 
more than Mr. Norton Younglove to make Riverside County a community of 
which we all can be proud. On March 25, 1994, Norton will be recognized 
for his service to our community by being named the Citizen of the Year 
by the Riverside Rotary Club. On behalf of the citizens of the 43d 
Congressional District, I want to add to this tribute my thanks and 
congratulations, and to wish Norton, his wife Ardith, and their three 
sons and five grandchildren best wishes for a happy and productive 
future.
