Bennett Dies At Myrtte Bench Melvin A. (Pete) Bennett, 54, of Myrtle Beach, died Saturday morning after a long illness. A native of Clinton, son of the late A. C. and Miriam McQuown Bennett, he attended Presbyter ian College. He moved to Myrtle Beach in 1941 to become a fu neral director at Winsted Funer al Home. The firm was reorganised and renamed Winstead-Bennett and later became Bennett and Hucks Funeral Home, of which Mr. Bennett was president and man ager. Mr. Bennett formally was a city councilman and served as mayor pro tern one term. He formerly was a member of the board of trustees of Myrtle Beach Schools and at the time of his death was a member of the Horry County Board of Ed ucation. He served on the Mu nicipal Adjustment Board and was a member of the Myrtle Beach Rotary Club. He also was an Elk and a Mason. He was a member and for mer trustee of Myrtle Beach Methodist Church, where he was a steward 18 years. He was a member of the National Funeral Directors Association. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Emily Cunningham Bennett; a daughter, Mrs. James A. (Emily Ann) Skewes of Myrtle Beach; a sister, Mrs. Beatrice Sloan of Clinton; and a grand daughter. Funeral services were con ducted Sunday at 8 p.m. at Myrtle Beach Methodist Church by Rev. T. H. Vickery. Burial was in Ocean Weeds Memorial Cemetery. Clinton’s Honor b Held High (Editorial In Greenville News) Critics of interscholastic sports in high school should take a long, thoughtful look at the incident which occurred last week in con nection with Clinton High School’s honors-bound football team. Some complain about the ex cessive emphasis placed on the importance of winning, almost at any cost, and the undue pressure which sometimes is placed on adolescent boys. Often there is Justification for such complaints. But last week Clinton High Coach Claude Howe and Princi pal Wilmont Shealy found out that their team had been using an ineligible player all season. They promptly went to the pro per officials and gave notice that they were forfeiting, as lost, all of their games to date. The manner of their action alone is a pretty good indication of what high school athletics headed by gentlemen fosters. But that is only part of the story. Clinton had its best team in years. It was a strong contender for the conference championship. Neither the coach nor any other school official was aware of the circumstances surrounding the player declared to be ineligible, and it is doubtful that even he realized he did not meet the re quirements for a bona fide resi dent student. No other school in the league had raised any question about the player’s ineligibility under State High School League standards. Had not the Clinton people them selves made the discovery and done what they did, no question RAILROAD CAREER B [ quatt- at lew of at and up, Providing age ef 17 high seheel -U. — *: T RAILROAD TRAINING The Torrington Company Clinton Bearings Plant JOBS AVAILABLE MALE MACWNE OPERATORS ippsrt—tty to lean a new hi metalworking Fringe beaefit program tarialM eempnoy-poM bodpttaBrattn immraoce, life hmonmee, holidays and wttg—.

An Eqanl Opportunity Bmpkycr The Torrington Company iwitofi Bearings nant probably ever would have been raised. Howe said, “That was the only thing to do. I couldn’t live with myself If I hadn’t done It that way.” It tokes a big man to automat ically turn back hard-earned vic tories on the playing field and, instead of a 7-1 record, accept one of no wins and eight losses. After all, winning Is one of the biggest things in athletics. But the action of Clinton High Coach Howe and Principal Shealy proved that winning isn’t the only thing. The talk of character-building isn’t the Joke that it sometimes is made out to be. Clinton should be proud that it has men like Howe and Shealy guiding the training of its youth. And one would hope that these men are the rule rather to*" the exception In high school athle tics. They regretfully, but willingly and manfully gave up for them selves and their boys their seven victories. But they gained honor that should be the envy of all. Views Of Our Readers Editor, The Chronicle: The undersigned, composing the medical and dental staffs of Bailey Memorial Hospital, at their regular monthly meeting held October IS, 1964, and by formal action endorsed the fluor idation of Clinton water supply. The following data as regards fluoridation of Clinton water sup ply should be of considerable value in this respect: First, fluoridation of public water supplies is recommended because it is the most practical and effective public health meas ure yet discovered for the pre vention of dental decay. Secondly, when used in the standard ratio of one p. p. m., that is, one part fluorine to one million parts water a resultant reduction of 60-86 per cent tooth decay can be realised in children who have received fluoridated water from birth. Thirdly, the following national health organizations are but a few among many who have given their endorsement of fluoridation of drinking water: The American Dental Associa tion, American Medical Associa tion, American Association of Public Health Dentists, American' Pharmaceutical Association, Na tional Research Council, S. Public Health Service, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Academy of Pediatrics, Canadian Dental Association, Canadian Public Health Association, International Dental Federation, Australian Dental Association, National Congress of Parents and Teach ers, American Society of Dentist ry for Children, American Acad emy of Dental Medicine.
