So much has occurred in the
past several days it’s a toss-up
where to begin. Let’s see, oh
yes, radio shake-ups. Alton
“Al” Campbell of WBBQ, their
only Black broadcasting voice
was sacked.
That’s right he was given the
heave-ho last week.
And get this, Flash Gordon
and Sonny Soul have pulled up
stakes at WTHB radio over in
North Augusta. A call to that
station met with a gruffy, no
comment.

FRED GUIDRY’S THREE SONS
WILL EARN MORE IN 1973 THAN
HE HAS EARNED FOR 200YEARS.
It's not unusual to find three college grad
uates in the same American family. Unless its a
family from Opelousas. Louisiana, right in the
center of rural black America.
Fred Guidry has been a sawmill worker
since 1933. earning at most $2400 a year He's
locked in a 200 year-old cycle of poverty,
ignorance and prejudice that seems almost
unbreakable.
But his sons broke out.
For openers. James. Fred and Larry grad
uated from Xavier University. New Orleans, in
'6B, 69 and 72
After a year with IBM. James joined the
Los Alamos Project, earned an M. S. in Com
puter Sciences and is now at Carnegie Mellon
studying Urban Affairs.

PARTING NOTE
According to Dr. Charles B.
Methvin, Director of the
Alcoholism Services Section
Division of Mental Health and
Dr. Charles K. Bush, Deputy of
the same Georgia agency told
the Senate Mental Health
Committee that throwing the
public drunk in jail over and
over is not the answer and that
an expanded alcholism
program is needed to deal with
Georgia’s 200,000 alcoholics.
Dr. Methvin said a small
percentage, some 20,000
should be hospitalized that
most alcoholics could receive
out-patient treatment. Bye
y’all.
