FULTON TOWER COMES DOWN

ATLANTA (AP)-Fulton Tower,
the fortress of brick, stone and
steel that served as a county Jail
for more than half a century, is
proving a challenge to r. r. Nc
Knight who has the contract to dis
mantle it.
"Ive been fooling around wi h
buildings for so years" said Nc
Knight, "And I've found things in
this one I've never seen before.
'They used a method of trying
brick walls which is completely
new to me. Instead of header
courses, they cut trianular bricks.
And they put reinforced cleats on
the steel BEAMS"
The building took it's name from
the rim stone haning tower But
Mcknight said "as far as / can
find out, the only thing that ever
hung there is a bell"
The contractor figures he will
salvage 100000 bricks, ''some of
the hardest and best I've ever seen,
and large quantity of stone which
is in demand for building retaining
walls"

plans to stage the first of the
Independent Basketball Tourna-
ments, the Holiday Invitational,
which is scheduled for December

lowing the Championships, a spe-
cial Award Program is scheduled.
One of the finest attractions
will be the appearances of the

Mr.. Byron is interested in the early explora-
tionS of the Chesapeake and often is asked to
lecture on the Bays history. He records his lee
lures on tape, and then presents the tape to the
groups he has talked to.
He also would like to stimulate greater
interest in the boats of the Bay-the skipjacks,
bugeyes and log canoes.
MANY of these old boats are disappearing
from the Chesapeake" he says. "I'd like to start
movement to keep these boats on the Bay"
Mr.. Byron believes that every man must live
his life as he sees it. He has chosen the lonely
life beside the cove and would exchange it for
no other:

student at w washington NOlICSS In HIS uOmS COWu
of Chestertown, Md. A young English professor
first interested him in his literary efforts
Back of lot of us is always good teacher,

He was teacher himself, and football
coach When he first came to st. MichaelS he
taught school, first at Easton and then for few
years at St MichaelS.
School teaching, however, diverted him
from writing, but he gave it up when he thought
he could make living from writing alone.
I'm working now on play to be given this
year during the Talbot County Tercentenary OBJ
servance. It's about Jacob Gibson, great prac-
tical joker, who lived here at St MichaelS during
the War of 1912. I've come to know him better
than almost anybody
"He was the one who hoaxed the people of
st. Michaels after the British shelled the town
in 1913. The story is that lanterns were hung in
trees so the British overshot the town

TILBERT BYRON, the poet of the Chesa-
" peake Bay, wrote this poem one morning
last May, and then wandered with his dog out to
watch the mist rising from San Domingo Creek
at ST. Michaels Md.
For the last I6 years MIR. Byron has lived on
the banks of the creek, watching the mist rise
and the sun set much as Thoreau lived on the
banks of Walden Pond
He built his own house one room at first,
later enlarged to four and did much of his
early writing by the light of oil lamps and, in
winter, the light from his open fire.
"But now have electricity and an oil heater,
/ have a telephone, convenience wouldn't
want to do without, but no automobile had
car once, but found could do without it. feel

These lines are from Mr.. ByrOn'S newest
book of poetry, ''The Winds WILL" published by
the Easton Publishing Co. 1t is satisfying for
regional poet to be published locally ne says
Many must pay to have their own books printed.
On the wall near his writing table Mr.. Byron
has tackled the portraits of his three favorite
writer's Robert Frost. Ernest Hemingway and
william Faulkner. His favOrite is Frost, who
gave him the title of his newest volume.
II got the title from Frost's first book OF
verse, "A Boys Will 1t was taken from the Long
fellow poem:
boys tOiu is the t0inds Wiu
And the thoughts of youth long, long thoughts"
This business of being a writer, Mr. Byron
thinks, is an uncertain one. Getting paid S. for
a story many years ago led him, in effect, to the
shores of the Chesapeake.
