customers.
R.L. GOOFS
Yep! 1 sure did. Last issue I
reported a first Black Hat store
in Augusta that apparently
wasn’t first.
Got a phone call from
Louise Lauey (niece of Lucy
Craft Laney) who informed me
she bought a black velvet,
blue-lined hat from a Black
owned and operated hat shop
in the fall of the year of 1919.
Mrs. Laney tells me the shop
named “Toggery Hat Shop”,
was located in a room in the
old Pilgrim Insurance Building
at Twelth and Gwinnett Street.
She further informed me
that the owners Mrs. Laura
Harper and Mrs. Louise Banks
made their own products. And
guess who the other hat maker
was? Mrs. Laura Garvin, soul
singer James Brown’s favorite
school teacher.

SOMEONE COMMENTS
Another phone caller
wonders why the Augusta
News-Review doesn’t cover the
Augusta Police sponsored
record hops for local area
youth.
Well the answer to that is
very simple. The APD doesn’t
notify us when or where the
hops are and because hops just
aren’t news unless there is
some special happening at that
hop.

JPaine Receives 13,000 |
Paine College has recieved a
$13,000 grant from the
Department of Health
Education and Welfare, for
enlargement of its Co-operative
Education (Co-op Ed)
program. Henri Freeman,
placement director for the
college who will administer the
program, indicates that the
opportunity to “co-op” will be
extended to at least 26
students this Fall.
“Co-op ed is not a new
concept,” said Freeman.
‘‘Many colleges have had
successful programs for years,
and on a very limited scale
Paine has established a co-op
relationship with the Veterans
with the Veterans
Administration here in
Augusta.
With the new funds, and
with the cooperation of area
businesses tied to the college in
along the 1400 black of Broad
Street with several pieces of
football equipment. They
said when the three spotted the
police, they dropped the
equipment and ran.
Police apprehended the
juveniles later Sunday morning.
LENWOOD PATIENT NABS
AUTO
Police reports indicate the
theft of a 1967 Pontiac from
Daniel Field.
The car taken from the
airfield parking lot belonged to
Tommy Dixon of Grovetown,
Georgia.
The car was discovered in
Emanuel County and
authorities there notified
Augusta Police that an Augusta
man was apprehended.
The suspect has been
identified as a patient at
Lenwood Hospital.
GODBEE BID FOR NEW
TRIAL REJECTED
Donnie K. Godbee, serving
life and forty years, had his bid
for a new trial turned down.
Godbee serving time for
rape, kidnapping and robbery,
asked for a new trial on the
basis that earlier verdicts were
contrary to the evidence in the
case.
Superior Court Judge
Franklin H. Pierce denied the
motion for the new trial in
behalf of Godbee.
Godbee was convicted by an
all male, all white jury of the
rape, kidnapping, and robbery
of a Medical College of Georgia
student nurse earlier this year.
DOUGHTY CENTER
VANDALS NOT YET
APPREHENDED
The Doughty Center
Recreation supervisor noted
that the vandals who ransacked
the building have not been
apprehended as of yet.
Miss Mary Grant said,
“However the Richmond
County Sheriffs Department
has been patroling the area
more now than before. ”
FREEMAN "
the National Alliance of
Businessmen’s College Cluster
organization, the college
expects to being recruiting
students for the program
immediately.
Freeman explained that
under the co-op ed program, a
full time job is obtained by the
college in an industrial
concern, business firm,
government agency or service
type organization. This
assignment is usually shared by
a pair of students or a
“two-man team” on an
alternating basis. While one
student is working on he job,
his partner (alternate) is
attending clases. At the end of
a specified period of time, the
students change places. This
permits the cooperative
assignment to be covered all
year round. The earnings of the
student during a working
period are sufficient to cover
his costs during an on-campus
period.
While co-oping extends the
time required to complete
college education, a graduate
of such a prgram times to the
job market not only his college
degree, but also valuable
on-the-job experience,
according to Freeman.
Dale Londan, Plant manager
of The Kendall Company and
chairman of the Cluster task
force helping to develop co-op
positions in local businesses,
commented that The Kendall
Division of the Colgate
Company is one of many
national firms which support
co-op programs.”
“The co-op graduate,” said
London, “has a running start
with a curriculum background
that fits the job. His formal
education hs naturally taken
on more meaning for him as it
has been closely tied to actual
job requirements.”
Local organizations which
have already committed job
slots in he new program at
Paine are: The Kendall
Company, Columbia Nitrogen
Corporation, Georgia Power
Company, Lily-Tulip,
Continental Can Company,
The Babcock & Wilcox
Company, Merry Companies,
The Proctor & Gamble
Company and the Veterans
Administration.
Students or employees who
wish further information are
invited to contact Henri
Freeman at the College.
