AMHERST -- George Taylor, a Ford Motor Co. employee, was named winner of the Jaycee Distinguished Service Award last night. Taylor, an Amherst native, was cited for his civic contributions during the last year and in years past. He is married and has three children. He serves as second vice president of the Amherst Community Chest, director of a Girl Scout movement, a founder of the Amherst Athletic Association and a nine-year member of the group, and is a member of St. Peter's Church of Christ.

Amherst Schools
Taylor was graduated from Amherst school in 1944, and joined the marines that same year. He served nearly three years. In 1955 he was Amherst tennis champion. Taylor has also served as an official at high school and junior high school basketball games. He is not a member of the Jaycees. Fred Berger, president of Amherst Branch of the Lorain County Savings and Trust Co., presented the award. Speaker at the banquet was Lawson Deming, executive producer of KYW radio in Cleveland. Deming discussed the evidence for and against belief in Unidentified Flying Objects (flying saucers) since 1943. He cited American Air Force investigations into the UFO situation for his material, and finally said an Air Force investigation revealed that 26 per cent of the "flying saucer" reports could not be explained in any other way, but that they were "real". Harry Robinson Jr. was emcee at the banquet. Vice president of the jaycees, Richard Berry, presented the president's message, due to the illness of President Thomas Abraham.

Future Plans
Berry, delivering Abraham's speech, said Jaycee plans for the future include a sale of American flags in Amherst, and lauded the results of the jaycee-sponsored "March of Dimes," which has already met its goal although not all collection boxes have been picked up. The Rev. Gail Bergstresser gave the invocation and benediction. Others present at the dinner and award ceremony were George Durnell, national Jaycees director, and Fred Stitzell, district three vice president.
