I 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. i (:LI],'F ¢I:S.MAN : A Message For Youth During his t~a:lk to the Shelton ing to me in this regard.

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.
