al hy i 18 i Td | IL fl I HA f { i | hit oF y [ EDITORIALS --- Elsewhere in this issue of the Bul- letin a reader writes to the editor, making a plea for “good sportsman- ship” and for a de-emphasis of the drive for “victory”. The writer, apparently, would place a higher emphasis on playing the game for fun and removing some of the demand for winning. Her call, also, is for ‘better losers” It is terribly important for young: sters—especially boys—to learn early that they are not going to win every time they sally forth to do battle, whether it be in sports or any other field of endeavor. It is terribly important that they learn to be good losers and that they accept the slaps of fate which many times will place them outside the win- ners’ circle.

Nothing begets success like success and if a boy learns early that it is im- portant to win, he has an infinitely better chance of success later in life. This week it is particularly impor- - tant to point out this basic fact of youth development. For, it was only last Friday night, that a tremendous Donegal baseball team battled its way to a county championship and thereby exposed itself to an important lesson. The team, coached by Don Staley, learned years ago that victory comes only by hard work, attention to de- tails a mastery of the fundamentals and above all else the importance of molding individual skills into a team effort. These lads have learned that the fruits of winning are sweet and it is likely that they will not forget what they learned day by day, season by season on the baseball diamond. Their coach is a man who is highly competitive, a man who has instilled into his boys the knowledge that it takes hard work and lots of it to win. But, he has helped them to experience the benefits of being winners. Sports stories are many about the competitive nature of men who lead the champions. Lec Durocher and Vince Lombardi are only two named at random to prove the point. Winning is something which can become a habit, something which is the difference between success and mediocrity. Yes, we find it important to be good losers but we find it even more important to be good winners. It would be our plea that Donegal high school athletes be given the very best coaching and leadership to help them learn some of the hard lessons of competition and to learn that there are advantages to being a winner. Life for an emerging young man is tough enough these days without sending him out of high school with a habit of losing. If young men are to be self confi- dent, schooled in the habit to working long and hard to achieve their victor- ies, there must be Don Staleys in his - world, working with high school lads. offering them : responsible Tv strong, forceful leadership in a wn ous competitive framework.

Eshleman 16th District—Pennsylvania WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1970 In addition to his regular duties as a congressional aide, my research assistant, Bob Walker, dabbles in some creative writing. Recently he showed me a poem he had written about the current turmoil in our country. It struck me that his poem sums up pretty well the feeling of many Americans that even in these troubled times there is good cause for I thought the readers of my column might be inter- ested in Bob's verse, and therefore I am devoting this week’s edition to sharing it with you. ope. TROUBLE AND TRUST by ‘Robert S. Walker These are troubled times. Peril’s everywhere. Enough to numb the Nation, enough to damp the Dream. And yet a hope still lingers, One can grasp it if he tries, That we’ll find the means within the Dream To seek, to build, to vie. One sees a sprawling scribble across a city wall: ‘Man if I can’t have it, then I'll just burn it alk” Words of alienation Born in fear and doubt, Offering no direction, Only chaos — Copping out. Can there be real justice when order’s but neglect? Can there be compassion when some men lack respect? If we are to build anew, Then we must first allow That unity and brotherhood Shall not escape us now. - ig One hears a voice of a student in our schools; Dissatisfaction manifested by questioning all the rules. He can probably make you wonder What the future holds, { vigw For he offers no solutions And confuses even goals. But his questions deserve answers, The very best we know, For curiosity has always been the stuff on which we grow. While education must convey to its formative congregation That mature dissent is learned reason Rather than agitation.
