Savannah State Rips
Williamette, 85-71
Savannah State, shaking off the
early jitters of its first National
Tournament appearance, stormed
past Williamette College of Ore¬
gon, 85-71, in the opening round
of the NAIA Tournament Monday-
Ahead by two at the half, the Tig¬
ers broke the game wide open after
intermission as Redell Walton and
Ira Jackson triggered a speedy
sure offensive.
Walton, who topped the Savan¬
nah scoring with 26 points, kept
the Oregonians down after they
had threatened to get back in the
game. His and Jackson’s driving
plays sustained the Savannah
State offense.
Jackson finished with 17 point
while Willie Tate threw in 15 and
Stephen Kelly 14. Kelly was a b:p
help down the stretch, netting five
points in the final minute and 33
seconds. His final bucket—scored
just ahead of the buzzer—came on
a beautiful layup. He timed the
toss just right, flipping it in as
he whizzed past the left side of
yUV kq/»VKna s/w- *■* rrl • v*.
Although outsized and possess¬
ing no regular over 6-3, Savannah
State showed enough spring and
bounce to take a 41-30 margin on
the boards. The Tigers also led
in shooting percentages, 43.9 to
40.8.

Retreat Planned Apr. 15-17
ATLANTA, GA. — Plans for
b Southwide Youth Leadership Re¬
treat on Nonviolent Resistance to
Segregation, to be held during the
Easter week-end of April 15-17,
was announced this week by Miss
Ella J. Baker, executive director
of the Southern Christian Leader¬
ship Conference.
The site of the meeting had no*
been finally determined at press
time, but it is expected to be in
either Virginia or North Caro¬
lina.
When asked what relationship
the retreat had with the recent
wave of student sit-in demonstra¬
tions, Miss Baker pointed out that
youth workshops on nonviolence
had been announced early ill Nov¬
ember as part of the stepped-up
program of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference for 1960.
“However,” she added, “jhe re-

of the outcome.

to intensify and increase the lead¬

to segregation as a creative and
positive force for change.”
While SCLC is initiating the
Easter retreat, it will welcome
and seek the technical assistance
of other advocates of nonviolent
resistance, it was emphasized.
Local workshops for youth pre¬
sently scheduled by the Leader¬

adult institutes will lie held in

representatives from other states,

Family Earns Good Living
On Once Eroded Acres
Through hard work and tech-
nical aid from the Soil Conser-
vation Service, Mr. and Mrs. W.
B. Boone of Jackson, Tenn..
have transformed 75 rundown,
eroded acres Into a farm that
Is providing good living for
them and their children.
“When we pieced together our
farm in 1947 by adding 44 acres
to 31 we had purchased a few
years before our land was about
as poor as any in Tennessee,”
says Mr. Boone.
The cotton yield on the hilly
farm was only half a bale to
the acre, and the corn harvest
brought barely 300 bushels off
20 acres. Today the Boones
get from a bale and a half to
two bales of cotton per acre,
and 15 acres of corn bring them
three times as much grain as
the 20 acres yielded 12 years
ago.
“I wanted to laugh and I
wanted to cry when we moved
here,” Mr. Boone recalls “I
wanted to laugh because I was
so glad to have a piece of land
of rrty own after eight years of
sharecropping; and I wanted to
cry because there were gullies
oh the place half as deep as I
am tall.”
But the family Rot. busy fill¬
ing in the gutltes and selecting
plots for their crops Soon
their county agent, A. M Dob-
bins gave them some pointers,
and told them about the Madl-
County Soil Conservation,
District. They applied to it for
help, and a Soli Conservation
Service technician came out and
helped them map their farm
and plan how each acre should
be best used.
The technician recommended
that the steeper slopes be
planted to trees, other less hilly
areas terraced and seeded to
pastures, and the least hilly
acres terraced and contour cul¬
tivated. Also he urged that the
soil be tested and fertilized ac¬
cording to need. 1
The family followed all the
rccomendations, getting finan¬
cial help from the Agricultural!
Conservation Program Service
and the Farmers Home Admin¬
istration, and technical aid

basketball tournament. There
on hand to wish the team Bon
Voyage were Mrs. Theodore
fright, wife Coach Wright;
Rep. Frank Cheatham, state
legislator; Joe Ward, assistant
from the Soil Conservation Dis-
trict. By planting soil build-
ing crops, such as vetch and
Austrian winter peas, they were
able to reduce their purchases
of commercial fertilizer. j
As a result of their care of j
the soil plus selection of better
seed, careful applications of in-
secticides, and other improved
methods, crop yields rose rap¬
idly.
Then for the first time, Mr.
and M!rs. Boone took a look at
their old house. It stood* out in
sharp contrast with their green
fields and pastures. So they
refinanced the indebtedness on
their farm through Farmers
Home and built an attractive
home for themselves and their
fi>ve children.
The new home and the im-
proved farm earned the Boones
first place honors and $250 in
the Tri-State Plant to
Contest in 1951. Two years
later they were chosen as the
soil conservation champion j
farmers of Tennessee and pre¬
sented $100 and a certificate.
While they were still showing!
their certificate to neighbors.
one of their daughters, Etinel,|
won a 4-H prize for the way
she had improved her room.
Eunel is how married. Two
other children are in college.
Next to their children. Mrs.
,
Boone takes pride in her sewing
and home canning and freezing.
She puts enough fruits, ve£-; i

ily a good diet year-round. And;
she still has time to serve as

Mr. Boone likes to stand
the porch and look out on their
once eroded acres where graz-1
ing cattle and hog.s are rapidly
replacing cotton.

Watch For New
Traffic Signs
Warning signs were put up
this morning at State and Jef-
streets designating this
a high accident location,
Next to the Intersection • of
Jefferson and Gaston streets,
where signs were put up last
week, this intersection has the
highest number of accidents in
proportion to Its traffic as any
in the city of Savannah. Like
the intersection of Jefferson
and Gaston streets this a very
blind corner.
During the past 12 months
there have been 14 collisions i
here. Ten of them involved
northbound vehicles on Jeffer¬
son street and westbound ve-
nicies on State street. The
TOU thwest corner is very blind
because of the narrow side-
wa i ks and the Telfair building
close behind them. Some driv-
ers are not yet used to the
two-way traffic on Jefferson
street, so don’t expect any
north-bound traffic.
A sign under the stop sign
says to look both ways. Per¬
haps everyone looks but sctne
look too late. The only way
avoid a collision at this very
intersection is to copae to
complete stop and look both
before the firont bumper
the intersection or else
be extremely lucky.
Fortunately most of the ac¬
at this intersection are
minor and there
been no injuries the past
There, was, however, an
accident in February of
a little over a year ago.
