Newton Kiwanis Club. He W88 the first presi­dent in recent yean of the very aucceaaful, more reoently organized J88per County Histori­cal Society.

Because of his ability as a judge of livestock, his interest continued in agriculture and, while still a teenager, was 88ked to aasist in bringing both dairy and beef calves from other 8J"" • and out-of-state to Jasper County for 4-H ( 1rojecta. He also served 88 a livestock juL&6 " and assistant 4-H Club leader.

At the age of twenty, Jack was a tenant farmer and served 88 Secretary and Office Manager for the Federal Farm Program for two years. He then became Farm Mana,ger for the Maytag Fa,rms which were owner - oper­ated and consisted of over 3,000 acres, mostly in Jasper County.

While serving in the Iowa Senate for two sessions, he operated his own farms and con tin· ued this operation for many years.

As one of the early pioneers in Soil Conserve· tion work, Jack had a conservation plan for every farm he operated in the county, which included contour plantings and building ter­races. He h88 a lifetime membership in the Holstein-Friesian American Registry Associa­tion, and waa responsible for the winning of the Contour Iowa Com Yield State Contest in 1944, with a corn yield of 150.13 bushels per acre.

After graduating from the Northe88t Miasouri Uni­versity with two majors, she taught in a Mis­souri high school. The opportunity to rmish a year of teaching Physical Education in the highly-rated Newton School System became available. Teaching at W88hington and Woo­drow Wilson Grade Schools, with classes at l--+h the Junior and Senior High Schools as

, W88 a good introduction to the Newton _ ~.nmunity for Chloressa.

It W88 during that school year that she met her husband, and they were married in August of 1941. Two children, Karen Jean and Jon Clarke, were hom, attended Newton schools,

and later both became University graduates. Working in the First Presbyterian Church,

teaching Sunday Schdol classes, and serving on various committees in the church led to other opportunities for Chloressa, such as the Cancer Drive, Salvation Army Board, six years on the Y Board, Pr A, and five yeara serving in the Newton Women's Club, including being President. Serving aa Chapter President of 'ITI', a charitable women's organization, waa also rewarding.

In 1956, at the time of the National Plowing Matches near Newton, Chloressa acted as Official Hostess to President Dwight D, Eisen­hower and his wife, Mamie; U.S: Senator Bourke Hickenlooper, and other distii18uie.hed guests.
