A note about Newspapers.com and perhaps other commercial ventures in newspaper clippings. Even though they may present clippings to the public, they may pop up offers to buy a membership to get unfettered access. Often, these can be cleared/restarted by clearing cookies, if one does not want to sign up with them. This is as opposed to full paywalls that wont share clippings publicly.Smkolins (talk) 06:41, 14 February 2026 (EST)

Glenford Eckieton Mitchell hails from the British West Indian island of Jamaica. Jamaica, with its area of 4.411 square miles, is the largest British possession in the West Indies. It has a population of about one and a half million. Called The Land of Wood and Water,” Jamaica claimed recognition as one of the most enchanting playgrounds in the world and the place where the rum comes from.”

A great portion of its revenue is derived from its staple products: rum cane sugar, and bananas, but the island enjoys a lucratice tourist trade all year round.

Jamaica recently achieved internal self-government and is a part of the backbone of the newly-formed West Indies Federation of which Barbados-born Sir Grantly Adams an Oxford trained barister, is the prime minister. Sir Gvantjey maintains a close connection with the city of Raleigh inasmuch as his sister-in-law, Dr. Marguerite M Adams, Counselor at Shaw University, resides here.

Glenford was born in the district of Brighton in St. Elizabeth, one of the island's fourteen parishes. His experiences, at a commercial school, a newspaper office in Kingston, Jamaica's capital, and as ex-assistant editor of the staff magazine of Jamaica Omnibus Services Limited influences his choosing journalism as his major field of interest.

In January 1957, he enrolled at Shaw University. He is pursuing a double major in English and Business. Business training, he feels, is a necessity for; everybody in these times. “It enables one to cope with this economy- conscious world in which we live.”

After his graduation from Shaw University next May, Glenford hopes to pursue a course in journalism at Syracuse University in New York. His dream is to establish a newspaper business in some virgin territory where newspapers do not exist. He plans to achieve this goal in Africa [or] some Latin-American country.

He finds America a very interesting place but has no intention of living here. He is convinced that his services and contributions to humanity can and will serve a greater purpose in underdeveloped areas. "In this age, we have to think in the broad terms cf service to the world of humanity.” It is no wonder that Glenford is so determined to serve where the need is most urgent, because as a member of the Baha’i World Faith, he is taught that work in the spirit of service to humanity is worship.
