[EDITORIALS,

WHAT A SHOW! For the past two weeks ending Sunday night, most of the eyes and ears of America were focused on the Olympics in Los Angeles. And what a rewarding show it was. There is a lot more story told than who ran the fastest, who could jump the highest or what team could beat another in the various events that took place. It is all spelled out in the “other activities” at the Olympics. Os course this year’s games were the target of another political boycott. It was no surprise that the Russians with most of the Communist countries following suit, boycotted the 1984 games. It was almost sure to happen after the United States boycotted the games in Moscow in 1980. And since these two boycotts have occured, it is with deep concern the Olympic officials are trying all the harder to get the political feelings out of the games. But all this is put aside when the athletes, regardless of what sport, go head to head in competition. With a burning desire to win themselves, the athletes still reflect that great thrill of competition and have the utmost respect for their opponents whether they win or lose. And the closeness developed in this competition cannot be matched anywhere. It is too bad that mankind as a whole can’t learn a lesson and take a page out of this book. The friendship and respect that grows among the competitors is something that people all over the world could use and would profit by having as their own possession. It is a pleasure to see such comradery develop naturally among these people. A real lesson could be learned by all. WHEN...

The Indiana District OPA issued additional dismal infromation this week and this time it concerned school busses. After persuing the regulations carefully, district rationing officials announced they could find nothing which gave such busses priority. ‘‘School bus drivers, more than anyone else, will have to give their tires careful attention.” "They have no priority in the present truck tier crisis and stand in danger of being grounded”.
