The program included groups of Baroque songs, German lieder by Beethoven and Schubert, operatic arias, and English songs.

He also appeared at th New York City Opera at Lincoln Center in the role of “Don Rodrigo” by Ginastera. A student of Lee Strasberg, Mr. Ellison enjoys acting and has appeared in musical comedies requiring theatre “Know How”. ONe of these, “Sacco and Vanzetti,” produced by the Equity Library Theatre, was more musical tragedy than musical comedy and called upon all of Mr. Ellison’s many theatrical, physical and vocal resources. Mr. Ellison is a member of the After Dinner Opera Company where he has performed in a number of productions both in New York and on tour where one of its engagements was at Georgia State College at Milledgeville, Georgia. Mr. Ellison appeared with the Triad Ensemble for the benefit of the West Side YMCA Scholarship Fund on May 23, 1973 and sandwiched that performance with the role of Rodolpho in the Opera “La Boheme” on May 22 and 24. Os particular interest is Mr. Ellison’s part in the Young Audiences ■ Program which takes good music to all of the public elementary schools in New York City. As a part of the Young Audiences Program, Mr. Ellison is one of the four-member group which handles the “Introducation to Opera” program to these school children. A letter from one of the New York music teachers stated, “As far as I am concerned, you accomplished the near-impossible; 99% of the student body is now turned on by the though of opera. The day before you came they were completely turned off. There is nothing more that I can say - just thanks!” During the 1972-73 season, Mr. Ellison appeared as the featured soloist with the Harlem Chorale and the Triad Chorale in renditions of standard church oratorios and modern music for public audiences. iwi . <. jpMSUS**. ’ >0 Mrs. Florine Evans Chairman of the National Service Project together with Mrs. Emma Seay Delta's Sponsor Harris Children’s Home Tau Gamma Delta Sorority will again sponsor the Harris Home for Children for its National Service Project.

MAXWELL HOUSE PHARMACY —OPEN ALL DAY SEVEN PAYS PEP WEEK— -1002 GREENE ST. 722-4695 722-7088 Customer Report #3 We don't like asking for higher rates, but your electric service depends on it. Here are the facts in this critical situation: 1. Unless construction goes forward, within a few years there won’t be enough electricity. 2. About 80 percent of the money for construction must be borrowed. 3. We can’t borrow the necessary money without emergency relief to increase earnings. Admittedly, this is simplification of a complex financial matter. And your first reaction may be that it’s the company’s problem, not yours. But it is yours, too. Because your electric service through the seventies will be affected by what we do right now. Think, for a moment, what a power shortage would mean to you personally. If you flicked a switch in the dark of night and nothing happened. If electricity were available only for brief periods during the day, and only for essential uses. If your business could operate only part-time in stead of daily. If environmental cleanup programs, such as waste treatment or recycling, were affected because of in sufficient power. These are not scare tactics. The nation's demand for electric energy is doubling every 10 years. In Georgia, the growth is even faster, doubling about every seven years. There's another factor that must be considered: the time lag. A steam plant may take six years to complete: nuclear. 10 or even more. We don't anticipate an energy shortage this year, or next. But because of the long lead time for siting and building plants, we must look beyond and plan for future years to assure elec tric energy for you, your home and your job. .Careful Planning We have planned what we believe is an adequate construction program: plants to generate power, transmission and distribution lines to deliver it to you. All environmental regulations are being met. at constantly growing costs. Through our parent company and the electric industry, we're aiding research for new fuel sources and cleaner fuels. In short, we've tried our best to look ahead and avoid the possibility of an electric energy shortage in the state. Such a shortage would go far beyond inconvenience. It would seriously affect the facilities that serve you every day— hospitals, schools, communications, even traffic lights. And industries that provide many thousands of jobs for Georgians. Some phases of our building program al ready have had to be suspended, due to Liberals Must Unify Hardhats, Ethnics, Others, Rep.

If further cutbacks are necessary, many of the 5,0(X) people em ployed in Georgia Power's construction work will suffer immediate effects. Long range consequences of a power shortage would extend to thousands of other workers in industry and business. In June, 1972, Georgia Power asked for retail rate increases of about 12 per cent. or totaling 547.9 million. That was the minimum needed, at that time, to guarantee reliable service for you and more than one million other customers. However, only about one-third of that amount was allowed. It simply wasn t enough to do the job. A year has passed, and inflation has continued its spiral. All our costs have continued to climb, but earnings have not. During the year, our bond ratings have dropped, which means we must pay higher interest on borrowed money. Need for Rate Relief At a time when money is urgently needed for building, our financial posi tion has become extremely critical, and drastic steps are necessary to improve it. We've been forced to appeal the 1972 ruling, and to seek additional rate re lief. We can find no alternative. In November of this year, we must sell Sl5O million in bonds and 525 million in preferred stock. These sales are ab solutely vital to meeting our construction commitments. Legally, however, we are required to show earnings at specified levels before we can sell securities in those amounts. Current estimates indicate we won’t be able to meet the requirements. So we The Augusta News-Review - June 14, 1973, liberal group, Young said the argument that liberals in this country have fallen on hard times is simply not true. “We have seen, is no less a person than Richard Nixon demonstrating that the liberal agenda works,” he said to the delegates delight. Shortly after Young’s speech, the group called for President Nixon’s resignation and suggested that Congress censure him. into a new social order with new moral leadership. “The sy stem is so interconnected that what affects any of us directly affects all of us indirectly,” said Jackson. “We must be the new people, not based on color or sex, but on conduct.” Jackson told the students that some of them will have to make an “ethnic sacrifice” and auwsta MONVMCNT CO.

To assure you of electricity to meet your future requirements, a request for the full amount of increase needed, in cluding the amount asked in this emer gency, will be placed before the Public Service Commission in a short time. During last year's rate hearings, some special interest groups intervened, using the case to attack the company on unrelated charges. These small but vocal groups demanded that rates be kept al present levels, without any regard for the adverse effects on your electric service. Shortsighted demands such as this do not, we believe, represent the thinking of most people. The great majority, we feel, are informed enough to realize that cheap energy is no longer possible. Every day you read and hear about continuing inflation, fuel shortages, environmental costs. It's not too difficult to assess the facts and understand that, when the price of everything else has skyrocketed, it just isn’t possible for the price of electricity to be the lone exception. Os course, nobody likes to pay more for electricity. Or for anything else. And we don’t pretend you do. But it has be come a choice between higher rates or not enough power. National Predicament Georgia is not alone in this unhappy situation. All over the country, utilities are being forced to ask for rate relief. As a regulated industry, we cannot raise prices at will but must go through long, expensive hearings and submit vast amounts of technical and financial data in sworn testimony. In neighboring states, TVA government-owned and tax-supported— has increased rates so that residential consumers are paying 44 percent more per kilowatt-hour than in 1967. By com parison, Georgia Power’s average resi dential price has risen only 12 percent in the same period, and still is 22 percent below the national average of all investor owned utilities. Dependable electric service is vital to your health, your job, your way of living. And you depend on us to provide that service. We don’t like to ask for higher rates. But we would like even less to run out of electricity. We think you would, too.
