PAPER BOY OF THE WEEK Augusta News-Review paper boy, Bernard Mitchell of Gilbert Manor is a super-salesman and here is why: Bernard reads the entire paper first, then points out the highlights to his potential 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.

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.

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.
