Organize 10 Promote
Religious Education

The Fairfax County Association
of Churches was formed yesterday
with the announced purpose of
launching a new religious educa-
ton program in the county.
Fairfax County schools last
year replaced their religious train
ing program with character edu-
cation courses as a result of the
Supreme Court decision in the
McCollum case against public
school supervised religious train
ing. This action was one of the
reasons for the movement to form
the church association, according
to the Rev. William A. Wright,
jr.. of the Merrif1eld Methodist
Church, who was chosen president
Of the new organization.
Representatives of IS places Of
worship attended the organization

Fadiman, in fact, started to
mix his speaking and writing
pursuits long before he flashed
across the horizin of bellies let
tres as a youthful critic genius.
He had talked on French SYM
bolist poetry, had taught English
for two years, and for eight years
was a top lecturer. He had even
been on the air, reviewing books
for six months.
After 1888, with his reputation
as a platform performer estab-
lished nationally through "Infor-
nation Please" he was a popu-
lar target for private and public
discussions on the storytelling
profession. By 1910, he was
travelling 10000 to 10000 miles
on lecture tours.
Thus, the distinguished critic
lecturer-writer-radi star brings
to CHS "This Is Broadway" a
compound of mellowed expert
ence in the spoken art which
admirably fits him for the task
of guiding an ad lib free-for-all
on show business. His is the not
too enviable job Of pacing and

of comment and wit spanked by

consisting of dramatist George S.

at his fathers store, worked in a
ship chambers shop, ran err
rands all over town., hoped it as
an office boy for a steamship
company and helped his brother
Edwin run a newspaper in For

tributor to magazines. (Clifton's
other brother, Bill, is today one
of Hollywood's leading major
studio story executives, being a
top-ranking RKO studio official

minds in the film industry.)
After high school, Fadiman

went to Columbia University,
where he held an equally incredl-
BILE variety of jobs. Following his
graduation in 1925 with Phi Beta
Kappa honors, he taught English
for two years. He loathed teach
ing but doubtlessly gained
through it the charmingly Pc
dantic air he diffuses on his radio
programs.
But his literary fingers itched
for more than a speaking assign
ment on books. It wasn't sur
prising, therefore, that in 1927 he
found himself in the publishing
field, having joined the firm OF
Simon and Schuster, old Column
bia friends, as an assistant editor.
In 1929, Simon and Schuster
made him editor, and until 1885,
when his association with the
firm dwindled to that of edl-
torial advisor, he was ranked as
one of the foremost editors of the
country. During that time, he
added a number of best sellers
to the houses list, perused $4,000
manuscripts and talked to 1000
authors.
Meanwhile, Fadiman had con-
tinued to contribute to leading
magazines, including the Nation,
