to you? A good meai or
something deeper?

Nixon the largest share of the
black vote this year was
Louisville, Ky., with 30 per
cent. A 1968 study obtained
by the Joint Center showed
Mr. Nixon receiving 15 per
cent of the vote in black areas
of Lousiville against Hubert
Humphrey.
The sample areas giving Sen.
McGovern the highest
percentage of the vote were in
Columbia, S.C. (94 per cent),
Houston, Texas (93 per cent),
and Charlotte, N.C. (93 per
cent). In 1968, Humphrey won
98.6 per cent of the black vote
in Houston. Comparable
figures were not available for
the other cities.
Although blacks continued
to support the Democratic
presidential nominee, the
Center noted widespread
ticket-splitting in some black
areas.
A notable example of this
phenomenon was in Chicago,
where approximately 55 per
cent of the voters in nine
sample black wards voted for
the Republican candidate for
Cook County state’s attorney,

Red Cross Urges Care
In Toy Selections
With the Christmas shopping
season at hand, the American
Red Cross today urged parents
and other purchasers of toys
for children to exercise care in
their selection.
“It is estimated that 700,000
children are injured by unsafe
toys every year in this
country,” said Jerry Carter,
First Aid Chairman of Augusta
Red Cross Chapter -a United
Way Agency. “Another

Statuesque beauty Tamara

adventure-thriller, “Cleopatra
Jones,” following one of the
most extensive talent searches
Hollywood has conducted in
years, it was announced by
John Calley, the company’s
executive vice-president in
charge of production.
Open auditions and
interviews were held in New
York, Chicago, Cleveland,
Atlanta, Washington, San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Twelve finalists, selected from
2,500 aspirants, were
screen-tested at the Warner
studio in Burbank, Calif. Miss
Dobson won out and will play
the title role of an
internationally-known Black
woman involved in capers of
the James Bond genre.
Jack Starrett will direct
“Cleopatra Jones,” which was
written by co-producer Max
Julien, Shelley Keller and
producer Bill Tennant.
Miss Dobson will arrive in
Hollywood this weekend to
begin rehearsals for the film,
which is tentatively scheduled
to go before the cameras on
December 15.

While most injuries are not
fatal and many not serious, this
is no consolation to the parents
of children who are killed or
seriously injured by defective
or misused toys, he added.
“Extreme care should be
used in choosing toys for
Christmas,” Mr. Carter warned.
“Although most toys are
considered safe, there are many
with features below minimum
safety standards which make
them potentially dangerous.
WASHINGTON, Nov.
10--Florida A&M University
in Tallahassee today received a
$234,291 research grant from
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Cooperative State
Research Service.
The grant is for research on
informational tactics to reach
the rural poor. The researchers,
who will be directed by Dr.
J.S. Dhillon, assistant professor
of sociology at Florida A&M,
say anti-poverty programs have
been primarily directed at the
urban poor--but those
programs which show promise
in urban areas may not be
appropriate or effective in
alleviating rural poverty due to
differing socio-geographic and
political conditions. The study
will therefore be directed
toward testing the effect of the
more promising approaches on
the rural poor.

considerations in choosing a
toy is to carefully inspect its
construction,” he continued.
“The toys you choose for your
children should be durable
enough to stand rough
treatment.”
He cautioned that toys
should be examined for wood
that can splinter, metal with
sharp edges, or plastic that can
shatter. A toy should be made
so that a child can’t pull off a
wheel or break it open to leave
exposed sharp edges or small
parts that can be swallowed.
Electrical toys can be
dangerous and must be kept in
good repair, he said. Electrical
toys should be used under
supervision and always carry
the UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) test label. “An
‘ electric train or race set should
have a circuit breaker on the
transformer, and a child should
be taught the correct way to
plug and unplug an electric
toy,” Mr. Carter said.
Play stoves, irons, and metal
moulding and wood burning
devices get hot and should be
handled with care, he went on.

Thanksgiving means different
things to different people. To
me, it means taking the time to
look around and see the love
and beauty that surrounds you
and giving thanks. Mr. Loftlin,
our families and 1 cannot begin
to express the gratitude to the
many friends, many unknown,
who have been very
encouraging and helpful during
the past year.
So, on this day of
Thanksgiving, we wish to
extend our thanks to you, the
beautiful people of Augusta,
who offered of yourselves
when we were in need. We only
hope we can offer as much to
you. God bless you all.

and dolls may have button eyes
that can be pulled off and
swallowed. Wire used to form
an ear on an animal can poke
through the fabric and inflict
scratches, and a poorly made
doll can come apart at the
seams and expose the stuffing,
which youngsters might put in
their mouths.
Mr. Carter urged parents to
take the time when they shop
to examine the toys they plan
to buy.
“Try to match the toy to the
interests and abilities of the
child,” he advised. “Keep in
mind how your child will use
the toy. Is it durable enough to
stand up under rough play, and
what are the possibilities of
misuse? Although consumer
groups have brought dangerous
toys to public attention, the
primary responsibility to insure
that a toy is safe is still that of
the parents.”
