Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Carole and Bob Behling Bob Behling tells how Jaycees improve selves while they help community Robert M. Behling, 545 Terrace Avenue, Mount Joy, is very deeply involved in the activities of his community. He is vice-chairman of the Mount Joy zoning hearing board and is a member of the borough planning com- mission. He is a former member of the borough board of health and a former health officer of the borough. He was a member of the borough Bicentennial Com- mision. He is vice-president of the Lancaster County Conservancy and advisor to the Scout Explorer Post. He is a lay reader at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Mount Joy. Not surprisingly, he is president of the Mount Joy Jaycees. Behling’s vocation is regional planning. He is Associate Community Plan- ner at the Lancaster County Planning Commission, spe- cializing in the preservation of agricultural lands and the histroic preservation of buildings. He says that serving on the borough planning com- mission and zoning hearing board brings him, also a county planner, ‘‘down to 7 piece Early American or Modern Livingroom Suite Large, high back Sofa with matching chair, covered in Scotchguard, Herculon Plaid material. Choose from 4 colors plus 2 decorator lamps, 2 step end tables, 1 coffee table, all with dark walnut finish. All for our low price of $299.00 Shelly’s Furniture 237 Locust St., Columbia Phone 684-3780 free delivery earth.”’ As a county planner he makes recommendations to many municipalities; as a borough planner he had to make decisions, enforcing ordinances that affect indi- viduals’ economic interests. In all decisions that he makes he tries to look out for ‘‘the public interest.”” He says, ‘‘I like Mount Joy and want it to be the best possible community.”’ As president of the Mount Joy Jaycees he is leader of an organization making a large number of different contributions to community life and also engaged at the same time in developing the talents of its members. Behling describes the Jaycees as ‘‘leading training organization for young men aged 18 to 3S. “‘It is not just a social club,’’ Behling says. “‘It provides an opportunity to streich yourself by improving your various skills.” Jaycees can take courses in: public speaking, leadership, financial man- agement, time manage- ment, writing, family life, and personal dynamics. Behling points out that the Jaycees’ course in personal dynamics is very similar to a course offered by Dale Carnegie, but the Carnegie course costs $400, while the Jaycees’ course is free. The Jaycees do not merely study in these courses; they apply thenr in the various activities of the organization. “If a guy chairs a project, and it flops, he hasn't really lost anything. He has gained experience and learned what not to do. His experience is helpful to him in business and in family life.” . ~ ‘We try fo show people what they can do, whatever they want to do,”’ says Behling. One aspect of the Jaycees that Behling values is the diversity of its membership. He says, ‘‘You rub elbows with people in all walks of life. We understand that all men are brothers. 1 am really proud to be president of the Mount Joy Jaycees.”’ “The Jaycees are especi- ally good for the person who sits at home watching TV and drinking his beer. The Jaycees bring him out of his shell.” The activities of the Jaycees can be divided into three categories: serving the needs of the community, the individual development pro- gram, and the ways and means projects. Here are some of the programs sponsored by the Jaycees: the Miss Donegal pageant, the 75-and-over banquet, the award for the valedictorian at D.H.S., the summer picnic for Messiah Home, the softball team, the Oct. 20 run from 8 a.m. till noon, putting up flags on holidays, Santa’s arrival in town, pictures of kids with Santa, a community prayer breakfast, award to out- standing young man (not necessarily a Jaycee), send- ing retarded children to camp, a road rally, bike rodeo and safety rodeo, Memorial Day carnival (at which all organizations can make money), the ‘‘Any- thing Goes’’ competition, sponsoring a girl scout troop, setting up a cardio pulmonary resuscitation course (which the Jaycees hope will save some local lives), and a learn to swim class. To pay for all these activities the Jaycees wash cars, sell apple butter, maintain booths at fairs and carnivals. On. November 3 the Jaycees will sponsor Monte Carlo night at the Salunga Fire Hall with dancing, entertainment, and refresh- ments. ; Behling has only one regret about his many community activities. He says he has to be careful that he spends enough time with his family: his wife Carole (Thome), daughter Stephanie, 9, and son Timothy, S. The Behlings are expecting another child . at Christmas. | October 10, 1979 Mount Joy Welcome Wagon meets Oct. 3 The Mount Joy Welcome Wagon's board meeting was held on Oct. 3rd at the home of Sue Hamm.
