THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LIKE HIM
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were filled with
fellows like Cliff Cushman?
Here is a young man, whose achievements in the field
of athletics have made him the object of hero-worship by
boys all over America, who is willing to give his time and
energies to benefit those boys who look up to him as an
example.
Cliff Cushman, if you've followed the sports pages, was
and probably still is one of the world's greatest hurdlers,
as the fact that he was national champion in his event and
won a silver medal in the 1960 Olympic Games at Rome
testifies.
Now a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, he is willing
to give his time and energies to speaking before youth
groups on such worthwhile subjects as what determina-
tion and will power and self-discipline can do to bring suc-
cess, using his own experiences as examples.
Lieut. Cushman was in Shelton one day last week to
speak to the high school boys club and later spent some
time with the Highclimber track team giving pointers on
techniques and conditioning.
He came here on his day off from duties at Payne
Field, willing to do so at his own expense. It is an activity
he does often-- helping boys to keep worthy goals for
themselves.
We take our hat off to Cliff Cushman, wish-
ing the world had more like him.
FAOTORIES,
A fellow named Ben H. Bagdikian, who writes articles
has apparently had a look at some of the mail that accum-
ulates in the office of weekly newspapers.

Then a friend told about helping to judge an editorial
contest in another state.
The winning entry, it turned out after the
prizes had been awarded, was product of some
faceless propagandist who had mailed it free to
a weekly publisher. The guy ran it as his own and
thus gained glory.
In our view, though, there is little harm in all this.
Most of the handouts are the result of nothing more
devious than the profit motive. An insurance company wants,
to hold down its advertising budget, so it sets up a safety
information bureau with typewriter and mimeograph
machine. Somebody who wants to sell yeast sends out free
recipes, all calling for copious amounts of yeast.
Even the Harding College fellow, who churns
out alarming messages about communists infil-
trating the churches, may be after nothing more
than an honest dollar. He has his endowment to
think of after all.
And considering that weekly newspaper owners, as a
group, were just about the only people in the country who
forecast a Goldwater victory last November, it seems un-
likely that they can do much damage. (Kitsap County
