                     TRIBUTE TO CLARION AREA JAYCEES

                                 ______


                      HON. WILLIAM F. CLINGER, JR.

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 15, 1995
  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a group that has 
proudly been serving the Clarion community for an outstanding number of 
years. I am pleased to recognize the Clarion Area Jaycees on this their 
30th year of continued service.
  In 1965, this organization was founded for the sole purpose of 
improving the community around them. I am sure these young people were 
not aware of all the great things they would eventually, and continue 
to, accomplish. It is no small task for a group to work together 
closely and be productive for such a long period of time. As one 
generation of volunteers contributes to the Clarion area, the next 
generation readies itself for future challenges. Their dedication 
throughout the 30 years is apparent in every project they take on.
  The Jaycees' enormous contributions are not felt by just a few 
individuals, but by the entire population. The work they do touches 
every member of the community. The creed of the Jaycees is, ``service 
to humanity is the best work of life.'' It is obvious to all of us that 
these are not just words, but a conviction for this group of men and 
women. As a member of the community that is touched by the Clarion Area 
Jaycees, I want to thank them for all of their hard work. The mission 
of the Jaycees is fulfilled with every person they help. So in keeping 
with that tradition, I have the utmost confidence this organization 
will continue to render valuable services.
  Today marks the Jaycees' celebration of 30 years of service. This 
event is made even more special by the fact the entire community can 
join in this special occasion; this accomplishment has certainly 
benefited us all.

  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize the Clarion Area 
Jaycees on this milestone. Once again, I want to thank them for all of 
their devoted service and my best wishes for continued success.
