There is one spot, however, where the Olympic dream of individual competition bums as brightly as it did in 1896 when Baron Pierre de Coubertiq revived the Olympic Games. That unique spot is the Special Olympic Games which wind up Saturday at Highland High and five-gam- 11-- 1 Sugarhouse Park. The Special Olympics will involve more than 600 competitors and 300 volunteer workers. The competition is for the mentally retarded. The youngsters will compete in a variety of athletic events to close out the spring Games, and the thing youll notice most is the pride of accomplishment, on the faces of the youngsters, and the faces of the parents. Competition is proving to these special youngsters that they can match others in physical striving, and this feeling of knowing the pride of competing has been the key that unlocked many other doors. k 1 two-da- y Today It Happened Four years ago, right after the Winter Games the Special Olympics, a proud mother sent me a letter which typifies this spirit of accomplishment more than I could ever explain.

He plays ball all the time and keeps score, too, and talks to the officials, and the other boys on the team. Sometimes he makes a good play, and I can hear him cheer. Other times, the ball just doesnt seem to arrive in the right place at the right time, but there is always a game. They are usually in the family room, or the backyard, or sometimes in the driveway. But today it happened. I mean, today it really of five-gam- e Today it happened. Today it really happened. Jim played on a team with boys that even I could see. At least I could have seen them if my eyes hadnt been so blurry. Carol Michaelis. Its where the cheers mingle with the tears, but the tears arent for pity; just pride in the determination and striving of these youngsters to do their athletic thing and win the ribbon every contestant gets for trying. And thats the name of the game in my book.
