Dr. Hammett Retires
As Baptist Sec-Treas.
Dr. Horace G. Hammett has
preached or worked in practically
erery Baptist church in the
Clinton area. He has acquired
many friends in this vicinity and
on the eve of his retirement, he *
paused to thank Clinton Baptists
for their loyal support of the
denomination’s mission pro
gram.
Dr. Hammett will retire Dec.
31 as general secretary-trea
surer of the South Carolina Bap
tist Convention, a post which he
has held for the past eight years.
Prior to assuming the top execu
tive post, he was assistant chief
executive for eleven years.
Born near Cowpens, Hammett
is one of 13 children. Hammett
went to Boiling Springs Academy
(now Gardner Webb College) as
there was no accredited high
school in the Cowpens area. At
Boiling Springs he milked cows
to pay his way. He finished a four-
year program in three years
and at the same time lettered
in football, baseball, basketball,
and track.
Still undecided about his future,
he went to the University seek
ing admission to the School of
Law. His clothes were rough and
his only financial assets were
$24 in cash. The aspiring young
lawyer was told that the study of
law was demanding and th^t part-
time work was out of the ques
tion. Dejected, he returned home
to be approached almost im
mediately about a teaching post.
“They had heard of my athletic
career at the academy andreally
they wanted me for my ability
to discipline more than for teach
ing," Hammett reminisced. After
teaching for a year at $90 per
month, he entered Furman Uni
versity where he mi jored in Eng
lish with a minor in Education.
At Furman he was a member
of the Soutliern Championship
Track Team for two years, re
ceived the coveted “All-Around
Athletic Award", was president
of the student body during his
senior year, was voted most
popular senior, and was a
member by invitation o.'theQuar-
terman Club, a select group
based on excellence in scholar
ship, leadership, athletics,^nd
general all-around qualities.
kfter graduation from Furman,
he became the first full-time
coach at Boiling Springs Junior
College. During summers and
Clrfttmas vacations he went to
New York to work and to run
sprints for the Brooklyn “Y"
Athletic Club. Several times he
ran at Madison Square Garden.
During his second year on the
Boiling Springs faculty, Hammett
became interested in the col
lege's new Music Department
head, Miss Lorene Woody and
while he claims to be “unable to
carry a tune in a bucket,' the
handsome young coach suddenly
cultivated a profound apprecia
tion for music. The two were la
ter married.
In 1929 the Cherokee County
farm boy was ordained to the
ministry and entered Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary in
Louisville.
He held student pastorates dur
ing his seminary career and has
pastored full-tim? in both Caro-
hnas. His first full-time pastor
ate was at Wilhamston and from
there he became pastor of First
Baptist Church, Great Falls.
In 1950 the Hammetts moved to
Columbia where Dr. Hammett
was named assistant general sec
retary-treasurer. In 1961 lie was
promoted to the top executive
post.
During the eight years of his
administration, 79 new churches
have been established with more
than 62,000 additional members.
Annual church receipts now ex
ceed $48 million dollars and thi
year as estimated $7-1/2 m
lion will go into the denomi
tion's mainstream of world mis
ill
sions.

HOW
CAN I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I prepare some
“super" bread sticks?
A. Make these from frankfur
ter buns by quartering them
lengthwise. Spread the cut slices,
on all sides, with soft butter or
-jsalid oil. Roll in minced pars
ley, chives, or grated Parmesan
cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for
five to 10 minutes. Other such
cookery hints are contained in
my new household-Uints book.

THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Jan. 1, 1970—5-B
Dear Sally
Q. How can
on carpets?
A. Cover immediately with
fresh milk, then mop up. Cover
the spot with cornstarch for a
few minutes, rub the vacuum
cleaner over it, and then rinse
the spot with mild soap and wa
ter.
How can I make a good
sachet powder?
A. By mixing a half-ounce of
lavendar flowers and a half
teaspoonful of powdered cloves.
Q. Is there anything at all you
can suggest for rubber suction
;up types of wall brackets that
persistently fail to grip smooth,
slick walls and are constantly
falling down?
A. Instead of using water as a
seal, try rubbing the rims of
the suction cups with a little gly
cerin before pressing into place
on the wall. Glycerin has a way
of affording a more airtight seal.
Q. How can I condition a new
paint brush for more effective
use,and for longer life?
A. By soaking in linseed oil
for about IE”’hours. The brush
will then handle moc^asily, and
will clean much easier, too, in
the future.
Q. How can I deal with burnt
marks on my furniture?
A. If not too deep, they will
sometimes disappear when
rubbed with your usual polish. If
this fails, try using rottenstone
or finely powdered pumice,
mixed to a thin paste with raw
or boiled linseed oil. Rub in the
direction of the grain. Wipe with
another cloth moistened with
plain linseed oil. Repeat a num
ber of times, if necessary, then
polish.
BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: I’m a retired
man of 66 with a modest pension.
My wife, who is 62, recently
inherited quite a bundle when
her wealthy uncle died, but al
though her income from this in
heritance is almost three times
the amount of my pension, she
refuses to contribute any of it to
our income, even though we
barely scrape by. She’s saving
the money to leave to our two
married children who don’t need
it one-tenth as much as we do.
She has agreed to read what you
have to say about this. Do you
think she’s being fair? C. D.
DEAR C. D.: No, she is not
being fair. After all, you worked
hard for years to provide her
with a good home, food, and
clothes, and now that a finan
cial break has come her way,
she should be more than willing
and eager to share these good
things with you.
DEAR SALLY: You recently
said in one of your columns that
you were in favor of a girl’s
returning her ring when her en
gagement has been broken, that
there is no reason for a girl’s
wanting to keep such a symbol
of her shattered romance. Well,
my own romance was recently
shattered, and I dutifully returned
the ring to my ex-fiance. Now I’m
wondering just why a fellow would
want the ring. This ex-fiance of
mine is now going around with
another girl, and surely he
wouldn’t even dream of giving her
this same ring I wore if they de
cide to become engaged . . .or
would he 0 I’d appreciate your
comments on this. UNRINGED.
DEAR UNRINGED. What a man
does with the returned ring is up
to him. He can give it as it is
to the next girl he becomes
engaged to, have it reset before
he does, or he can return it to
the jeweler for a refund. In any
event, you did the right thing in
returning the ring. . .just as a
matter of integrity, and for the
reasons you quoted in your let
ter.
DEAR SALLY: I’m a girl of
23, have been the private secre
tary of a businessman for three
years, and we call each other by
our first names. He’s a married
man, and we’re good friends. . .

that’s all. However, I have been
criticized by some of the other
employees for making free use of
my boss’s first name. How about
this? GIRL FRIDAY.
DEAR GIRL FRIDAY: First
names are all right. . .when just
between you two. However, in
the presence of other employees
it is much more proper and tact
ful for you to refer to your em
ployer as Mr. Smith. And cer
tainly, in the interest of office
dignity, you should always ad
dress him as Mr. Smith in the
presence of any callers.
