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.

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,

The Library Assistants Club
has chosen its project for the
year. They plan to buy a planter
and some plants to decorate the
library.
Johnny Fulmer, a sophomore
tenor for the Clinton High Glee
Club, was recently selected as
the first member of the All-State
Chorus from CHS on the basis
of an audition held recently. He
is to attend his first practice
session today.

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.”
