A native of Clinton, son of the
late A. C. and Miriam McQuown

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

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.

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

ers, American Society of Dentist
ry for Children, American Acad
emy of Dental Medicine.
