Newspaper Page TextThe Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Feb. 26, 1959 Small Business Administration To Aid Business in This Area A representative of the Small Business Administration will be at the Waycross Chamber of Commerce, 409 Plant Avenue, on Wednesday of each week, starting March 4, to interview small busi nessmen in the Southeast Georgia area, who may be interested in receiving SBA assistance. In making this announcement James F. Hollingsworth, SBA regional director at Atlanta, said there had been a desire express ed by small business concerns in South Georgia to bring the Agen cy’s services, which include loan assistance, closer to businessmen of the area. SBA offers three major servi ces to small firms, including con tract assistance by which it aids businesses with less than 500 em ployees to obtain a fair share of government contracts, both mili tary and civilian. Management aid is made available to assist owners of small concerns with their problem through counsel ing, publications and cooperation with educational institutions in furnishing administrative man agement courses for owners. A major function of SBA’s ser vices consists of loans to small manufacturers, wholesalers, re tailers and service institutions when financing is not otherwise available to them on reasonable terms. Loans made by SBA in clude financing to cover expan sion and modernization, the pur chase of equipment or machinery and materials, and to supply working capital. A majority of the Agency’s loans are .made in participation with the applicant’s local bank, although loans- can be made direct where bank par ticipation cannot be worked out, depending on the availability of adequate collateral and good cred it factors, Hollingsworth pointed out.

English Lady Spelled It "Runnymead" An English exchange teacher who stopped at the Runnymede Motel in Nahunta Monday night, Feb. 23, was impressed by the name of the motel and attempted to write a poem about it. As most people should know, Runnymede was the place in Eng land where the barons wrested the Great Charter of English lib erties from King John on June 15, 1215. In Latin it was called “Magna Carta.” The English lady told Roy Har per that she was here in the United States as an exchange teacher. Anyway, her verses showed some mistakes in dates and in spelling, as follows; “Magna Carta 1290” “When kings were kings and rul ed with might And every word was law oh! And Knights and barons fought for right To have their own opinions, Disputes arose, they came to blows, It was a situation! They took king John to Runny- mead To sign a declaration. The fateful year I will relate And specify the data. They rode King John upon the Thames To sign the Magna Carta. They made the laws, they form- ed the clause For the English constitution.

Folkston Beats Broxton to Win Regional Championship By PAUL ROBINSON Sports Editor , Waycross Journal-Herald PEARSON — Folkston’s Cin derella Five continued its amaz ing control-type of play here last night and refused to yield to pressure to clip Broxton’s high ly regarded Buccaneers 50-44 in the Region 1-B East boys basket ball tourney finals before an overflow crowd in the Atkinson County gym. It took a tremendous come back by Horace Knight’s never say-die Indians from Charlton County to turn the tide, however. They trailed Broxton for much of the game then overcame a six point deficit in the final five min utes of play to cop what is be lieved to be their first basketball trophy ever. Down 44-38 with 5:25 remain ing on the scoreboard clock, the Indians began a move that saw them flip in 12 straight points while holding Broxton scoreless to win 50-44. Folkston’s first lead came with 3:25 remaining although they had fought from behind several times to knot the score. But once the Warriors got the scent of victory, they stayed on the path until the final horn. BROXTON LEADS Broxton scored first and built up a 5-0 lead before the Indians broke into the scoring column. The Charlton lads fought back in the closing minutes of the first stanza to knot the score twice but the Buccaneers of Gene Withrow’s moved into a 9-7 lead at the first rest. « After deadlocking the score at 13-13 early on the second canto, Folkston lost its touch momen tarily and fell behind 28-18 at halftime. The Braves from Charl ton came within two points of knottting the score' twice in the third quarter but faltered and fell behind 39-32 at the three quarter mark. Then came the thrilling last stanza and the Folkston rally that brought ultimate victory. Broxton stayed ahead five to six points in the first three min utes of the closing period. Then Charlton made its move. INDIANS CLICK The Indians began clicking and whittling away at the deficit un til with 3:25 left David James gave Folkston its first lead of the game at 45-44. The Warriors then began to play out the clock. Broxton missed two scoring op portunities in the space of a min ute and James sneaked in for a layup to .make it 47-44 with 55 seconds remaining. Jimmy Phil lips added a free throw after Broxton missed another scoring chance to send Folkston to a 48- 44 lead then Harlan Carter tossed in the last basket in the final four seconds to sew up the con test 50-44. s the car that's wanted now—see the wider selection of models at your local authorized Chevrolet dealer’s! its worth!
