i THE CLINTON CHRONICLE OteUm, 8. G, Thursday, Norwabcr 12, 1H4 i Course Everywhere baard nothing but praise for ol Football Coach Claude Wihnot Shealy since in turning themselves in ineligible player all season, forget the boys themselves, much (or more) involved as had played their hearts out m waa not easy to give up seven vic- torSea, but ttey took it like men. They could have let down in their efforts. Th* could have said, “What’s the use?” But, showing the stuff they’re made of, they went ahead as if nothing had happen ed and the record now shows two victories instead of «in«L Those boys will remember the incident all their lives—and they will have nothing but admiration for their coach and princi pal for doing the right thing. No one knew that Clinton had been playing an ineligible boy until the coach and principal discovered it They report ed immediately to officials of the State High School League. Roles of the league require forfeiture of games won under such circumstances. We are sure that sympathy for the coach, principal and players was not one of the emotions generated in the breasts of CUnton people by the occurrence. It waa not a time for sympathy. It was a time only for standing taller and being proud of the caliber of men and boys at Clinton High School Corvallis, Ore., Gasette-Thnes: “Since 1968, the number of serious crimes in the nation has risen 40 per cent This is five times the population increase of 8 per cent in the same period. That is the frighten ing report of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation. ■ I. — y .i i ■■■■■■ Barnesboro, Fa., Star: “In recent years many colleges have become disturbed about the fact that their facilities for the most part are idle during the summer months and have set about to remedy the condi tion. The result, in some instances, has been the adoption of the trimester plans where students can go to school year round and finish their studies a year earlier.” Babaon Discusses Water By ROGEB BAB80N Babson Part, Maas., November 13—Water, an absolute necessity tor life, IS close to the uni versal solvent. All the elements in the earth's crust are dissolved in rain water and carried to the New Courthouse Question Up Again .The Laurens County Grand Jury in its presentment Monday recommended that a start be made on making plana for a new courthouse. A like move waa made several yean ago, but nothing waa ever dons about ft. if citizens of tbs county would take the time to go to the courthouse and look around a bit, they would agree with the Grand Jury—that a new facility is needed. The buikBng is in bad condition, and some thing needs to be dons. We doubt that rebuilding and moderni sation of the present structure is economi- caDy feasible. It could be done, we sup pose, but the problems of street noises and parking would still be unsolved. A new site of approximately 16 acres for a courthouse was suggested — with which we agree. But we do not think much of the pro posal (also suggested) to put it halfway be tween Laurens and Clinton. That would make it too inconvenient for both large centers of population that would use it most Since Laurens is the county seat, we think the building should be in or as near that city as practicable. In the meantime, let’s accept the rec ommendation of the Grand Jury, and get on with the problem. A Job Well Done It was announced in The Chronicle last week that the Community Chest had reach ed 103 per cent of its goal. With a budget of 823,688.94, pledges and cash reached a total of 824,067.43. And not all sources had been heard from. The budget and the amount raised set new records. And for the accomplishment, everyone who had anything to do with it—giver or worker—should be proud. It was a big task and it was handled in a big way. As with anything of this nature, many lm8 a hand in ft; but a few contributed signally. We shall name but two—Reese Yoons; chairman of the drive, and Jim Von president of the orfsnftstkm. they labored vaHantty, and came up with a job well done. They ere due the thanks of the com munity. RAW MATERIALS FROM THE SEA Because of the solvent action of water, a cubic mile of average sea water contains enormous quantities of the elements—all the way from 4 Miumi ton* of oxygen, which sustains fish Ufa, to 9 hundred-millionths of a pound of radon, the radioactive gas from radium. My associate. Prof. Howard O. Stearns, provides the following. data: Per cubic mile of sea water thsrt are If million tons of chlorine, 49 million tons of so dium, 6 milion tons of magnesium, 4 million tons of sulfur, 906,000 tons of bromine, 3S tons of iodine, and so on to 91 pounds of fold. When In land seas evaporated in past geologic ages they left large deposits of the salts of these dements. In Stassfurtn, Germany, and Midland, Michigan, deposits have yielded a wealth of magnesium and potasium salts—the latter used for fertiliser. The principal elements man has extracted from sea water are bromine and magnesium. Plants are located on peninsulas do that the water may be pumped from one side, then treat ed, and discharged on the othw side. A large bromine plant is located near the mouth of the Cape Fear River In North Carolina; magnsatum plants on the gulf coast of Texas. Magnesium is about one-third lighter than aluminum. Its al loys, known as Dowmetals, are as stroug as some steels. FOOD FROM THE SEA Fish is the principal food from the sea. The annual weight of fish taken from the world’s wa ters is some 40 million tons. Tiny fish, herrings and sardines, eat the surface plankton formed from single-celled organisms. The larger fish, however, eat the smaller ones. Sharks, the most voracious of all, devour fish from their own size on down. In addition to vertebrae fish there are crustaceans (lobsters and crabs) and shell fish (oysters and clams). Seaweeds contain food materials, and also substances used in commerce. Algin is such a substance, used in place of gelatin and for such diverse purposes as waterproofing concrete and fireproofing wood. Seaweed products ma chine belts, sausage skins, and tooth brushes. FORMATION OF ICE- FLUORIDATION OF WATER Water expands as it freezes, whereas most substances do not. Because of this and because the maximum density of water occurs at a tem perature of 99 degrees Fahrenheit, life as we know it has been able to develop on earth. Water which is cooled to a temperature below 99 de grees stays on the surface of lakes, poods, and rivers, so that when the water begins to freeze at 32 d. Fahrenheit the top layer freezes first. This makes it possible for marine life to exist in the 39 degree water under the ice. There is of course no such thing as pure drink ing water. At best, it is merely harmless. There are many waters used for drinking that contain most of the desirable minerals, others do not All waters contain some fluoride. If the concen tration is below a few parts per million, teeth— particularly children’s teeth—develop cavities. Where concentration is even ten times that rec ommended by the U. 8. Department of Health, no harm has been found to result to teeth; at higher concentrations, however, some mottling may occur. FRESH WATER FROM SEA WATER There are thousands of square miles of the surface of the earth where Hfe is not now pos sible. If fresh water could be produced economi cally from sea water, irrigation would make these habitable. Distillation of sea water is a simple hut ex pensive method of desalting sea water. The U. S. Navy has devised a method of boiling water under pressure. The vapor is then compressed, forcing It to condense. The heat of condensa tion is used to evaporate more water, so that only a relatively small amount of additional energy is needed to operate the plant. Another method ntni—e ion-exchange membranes. These are inexpensive plastics containing loo-exchange chemicals. As water flows by tbsee memhranss, electricity canoes the minerals to remain on one side and the fresh water on the other. It la quite possible that ion exchange, combined with nuclear energy, may some day transform the face of the earth. several new senior members were installed into the dub. Tak ing part in the program were Phyllis Watts, Tommy Johnson, Janice Noffx. Card Sanders, Mark King, Jane Johnson, Eddie Shealy, Dianne Ledford, and Edwin Sloan. The Library Assistants Club has chosen its project for the year. They plan to buy a planter and some plants to decorate the library.

PosriMd Phick A “pluck of lights” is an old name for the heart, liver and lungs of a small beast The word “pluck” in the phrase refers to the fact that these organs were jerked out of or plucked from the carcass. “Lights” refers to the lungs, which have little weight in proportion to their size A “pluck of “lights was shortened long ago to “pluck ” In medieval times the heart and liver were consid ered the seat of heroism or courage. Since two of the organs in the “pluck” were the heart and liver, “pluck” became a synonym for courage or determina tion in such an expression as “He has a lot of pluck.” Visiting Col. W. H.
