VOLUME 39 — NUMBER 7 Nahunta Teams Win 2 Games From Folkston The Nahunta basketball teams ended the season with just the right note, as they took a twin bill from Folkston High School here last Friday night. The “Kittens”, playing a lot like Wildcats, nosed out the Folkston sextette 39-34. The Na huntians led most of the way and gave in only on sparse oc casions when Folkston either tied the game or forged a point a head. Sylvia Rowell led the victor ious assult with 21 points and Myra Heirs paced the losers with 17. Just about everybody got into the act as the Nahunta boys laid a sound whipping on the “Folks tonites”. Nahunta won this one 67-48, but they had to do it af ter a close first half that was tightened by a slower than us ual Wildcat start. Four starters hit for double figures as the Na huntians picked up their 24th win against only two defeats. Layton Johns led the raid with a 20 point contribution. Marvin Griffin, Carroll Allen, and Geor ge Thomas too contributed their share, scoring 18, 14 and 10 points respectively. This was the perfect night to end a season on, for both of Nahuntas’ cage crews played a top game both offensively and defensively. This victory for the girls represented their best team effort of the year, and the win ning effort on the part of the boys showed that Nahunta not only has good individuals, but depth and balance to boot. The boys begin their tourna ment play in Pearson Thursday night against the Clinch Coun ty High School. If Nahunta cops the opening game, they will be pitted against Hahira on Friday night. Thfe tournament finals for IB East will be held in Pearson Monday night of next week.

HI There has never been a so- I called “civil * rights” bill which did not * conflict with the Constitution of the United I States and take H away more civil rights than it ourported to grant. That is true because al! civil rights possessed by the citizens of this country are guaranteed in the Con stitution and the Bill of Rights and those rights, by specific language, are made inalienable to the indi vidual.

They fall generally into the Johnson, Eisenhower and Douglas - Javits categories—the only differences among them being matters of de gree. The Johnson idea is to have fed eral conciliators seek to persuade the people of the South to comply with the Supreme Court’s desegre gation decision. The Eisenhower plan is to have the Federal Gov ernment prevent any interference by the people of the South with (Mt prtparia w ertnUd Child Evangelism Week Will Be Observed Various Governors from coast to coast are again proclaiming National Child Evangelism Week February 22 through March 1. Governor Ernest Vandiver of Georgia, has said in part in his 1959 release: “WHEREAS, the delinquency problem of the country has been definitely linked with the lack of Bible teaching, and WHEREAS, we feel the pro gram of Child Evangelism Fel lowship will go a long way to ward reducing the delinquency problem; now I . . . . urge the people of this state to participate in every phase of Child Evange lism week.” Special services stressing the need of reaching children for Christ will be held. “National Child Evangelism Fellowship sponsors Child Evan gelism Week each year. It is a service organization, working in closest cooperation with evan gelical churches, helping to reach the seventy-five percent of our children, who are unchurched. This is done through Bible Clubs in the homes, in the summer, at camps and outdoor classes,” says Rev. Donald Kathan, State Di rector. A Bible Club is conducted each Wednesday at 3:00 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Samuel Johnson near the Nahunta Grade School. All children are invited. Southeast Georgia H. D. Council Met at Jekyll The Southeast Georgia Home Demonstration Council met in the Auditorium on Jekyll Island, Tuesday February 17. There was over eight hundred women at the meeting. Mrs. Hinton Logan, of Summer ville, Ga., who is president of the St&”? Home Demonstration Council, and our own Mrs. No lan C. Davis Jr., second vice president of the State Council were on the program. Those attending from Brantley County were: Mesdames L. C. Colvin, W. C. Rice, M. H. Robin son, Myrtle Davis, Pete Gibson, E. A. Hunter, Marguerite Jacobs, Albert Purdom, W, W. Hendrix, Alton Cason, J. R. Driggers, J. E. Aldridge, Allen Barnard, Wilder Brooker, Avery Strickland, C. F. Dukes, Frank V. Scott Jr., B. G. Bell, Nolan Davis Jr., Clay Mor gan and Virginia N. Raulerson, County Home Demonstration Agent. the implementation of that edict. The Douglas-Javits formula is to have the Secretary of Health, Edu cation and Welfare and the At torney General act as all-powerful czars to force compliance with the school ruling. All of them have a common root in the basic fallacy of all so-called “civil rights” bills; that is, each would vest the civil rights of Amer icans in various federal agencies where they would be dependent upon the whims of whatever per sons happened to be in charge. • • • NO AMOUNT OF sermonizing can get around the fact that such bills are vindictive and capricious in nature and are designed by pro fessional South-haters and South baiters whose single aim is per sonal or political aggrandizement at the expense of the Southern region and its 40-million inhabit ants. It is most regrettable that Con gress wastes its valuable time con sidering such unnecessary and harmful legislation when so many truly-important issues are con fronting the nation. To do so serves only to further divide our country at a time when our very existence as a free nation is de pendent upon our unity, hard work and cooperation. I am opposed to all • these mis named bills and I intend to oppose them with every effective means at my disposal. y^e-*^******- £ espenfcj Braniky Enterprise lackland afb, tex. — Airman Julian C.

Accidental Injuries To Teeth Prompt attention by a dentist often can save a child’s tooth which has been broken or pushed out of place in an accident. Some times even a tooth that has been dislodged from its socket can be replaced. As the rate of accidents has been rising, dentists have devis ed methods for treating the in creasing number of children’s teeth being accidentally injured. The success of the various treat ments often depends upon how soon after the accident they are begun. Sometimes a first or primary tooth may be completely pushed up into the gum as the result of an accident. If the roots are not fractured, the tooth usually will re-erupt in its correct position. Whether a tooth is a primary or a permanent one, it is impor tant that it be restored if at all possible. If a primary tooth is lost prematurely, the permanent tooth may erupt out of position or become impacted and fail to erupt at all. To prevent these difficulties, a dentist may suggest that a space maintainer be insert ed. Loss of a permanent tooth can cause psychological damage as well as further dental harm. This is true whether the tooth was lost accidentally or had to be extracted because of neglected decay. A missing tooth is disfiguring, especially when it is one of the upper front teeth, the .most often injured in accidents. Such disfig urement may be a cause of em otional disturbances, particularly in sensitive teen-agers. When one tooth is missing, the other teeth tend to drift into the space that has been left. This may result in poor tooth align ment, difficulty in chewing, more decay than would be normal for that person, and an irrigation of the gums which may lead to gum disease. If a natural tooth can’t be sa ved—and sometimes it can’t be it should be replaced with an artifical tooth.

(Plus Sales Tax) The Class B regional tourna ment starts at Pearson Thursday night, Feb. 19, with Nahunta High School, meeting Clinch County High School at 9:30. Broxton High School, consid ered one of the top contenders for the regional championship, drew a bye and will not play until Friday night when they meet the winner of the Patter son-Camden County contest. The season records of the var ious teams indicate that Nahun ta and Broxton may meet in the finals Monday night, Feb. 23. But in basketball nothing is certain and some dark horse team may emerge from the fray with an upset of one of the favored quin tets. The first game at Pearson Thursday night is between Nich olls and Atkinson County at 7:00 o’clock. The winner of this game will meet Folkston Friday night. Present indications are that Na hunta will win from Clinch County Thursday night, from Ha hira Friday night and play Folkston Saturday night. Nahunta basketball fans will go to the tournament in droves, hoping their Wildcats will win the regional tournament, then the district tournament and go to Macon for another chance at the state Class B championship. There’s many a slip, in basket ball, between the referee’s whist le and the championship basket but the Nahunta team seems in top form and may repeat their last year’s march to the state title. Watch the label on your paper — don’t let your sub- scription expire. The new senior title holder, an active member of the senior class and participant in school activities, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Byrd of Patterson. She has been a valued member of the girls’ varsity basketball team for the past four years. This year Linda scored an average of 22 points per game during the regular season. Patricia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. James of Patterson, is a leader in her class. She has a good voice and last May won the Pierce county Junior 4-H talent title. Patricia is active in community as well as school af fairs. This year’s annual affair was sponsored by the Junior Class. Mrs. J. E- Strickland Jr. and Mrs. Oswell Smith are the home room teachers.
