FLUORIDATION
We welcome all letters con
cerning fluoridation, which
has become a topic of interest
in the city in the past few
weeks. Unfortunately, space
allows for publication of only
a portion of these letters each
week; however, in the interest
of seeing that the Sunpaper
readers get all the facts and
opinions expressed by anyone
in a letter to us—be it pro or
con—we do intend to publish
all signed information received.
If the letter you send does
not appear in the current issue,
keep locking. It will be there
sooner or later.
TEACHER STRIKES
I heard a teacher say the
other day, “Teachers only go
into teaching because they
aren’t capable of doing any
thing else.” I don’t believe this
and I don’t believe the teacher
really believed it either. I am
of the opinion that the major
ity of teachers in our Newberry
schools are capable individuals,
and that they are m their jobs
because the challenge of edu
cating youth appeals to them.
I wonder, however, if, at
tins point, a great many teach
ers are not ashamed and em-
barassed by some of their
eolleaguies in the “ profession. ”
For supposedly educated per
sons to stand and jeer the gov
ernor of a state, not even al
lowing him to speak is not
what one would expect of a
>!ncere, dedicated teacher. This
is an outgrowth of the liberal
teachings of the National Edu
cation Association an outfit
which _vou will recall, I warned
about years ago.
The sad part of the whole
business is that the South Car
olina Education Association has
followed solidly in the footsteps
of the NEA. If you have taken
the time to read about the
teacher strike in Florida, you
may have seen that Carlos Gib
bons, executive secretary of
the S. Education Associa
tion, has intimated that South
('arolina teachers will de ex
actly the same thing if the
legislature refuses to bow to
the demands of the SCEA.
SCEA has for years been
more of a social organization
than anything else. Until the
tntiy into the organization of
this yming Dr. Gibbons, it was

Billy O’Dell
drops baseball
for politics
Billy O’Dell, lefthand pitcher
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mon
day announced his retirement
from big league baseball, and
at the same time announced
his intention of running for
the office of Newberry County
Supervisor on the Republican
ticket. He was endorsed for
the position by the Republican
County Convention on Monday
morning.
O’Dell, 55, sent a retirement
notice to Pirates' general man
ager Monday. He had spent 1-1
years in the major leagues,
first with the Baltimore Orioles
and later with the San Francis
co Giants, Atlanta Braves and
the Pirates.
O'Dell suffered from Addi
son's disease last year, but he
said that his health was not a
factor in his decision to retire
from baseball.
A native of Whitmire, he is
married to the former Joan
Dennis of this city. They have
three children, Jeff, Heather
and Mike. He is a member of
Central Methodist Church the
Newberry Lions Club, and is
on the Board of Directors of
Boys Farm.
In his “Top of the Morning”
column in the Greenville News
Monday morning, Sports Editor
Jack Anderson had the follow
ing comment concerning Mr.
O’Dell’s plans:
“ Billy < )’l Jell's decision to he
a political candidate on the Re
publican ticket for supervisor
nf Newberry County is slightly
surprising. Not that he is quit
