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. REFRESHING MILITARY NEWS Congratulations to the following local military personnel for their latest acheivements; James E.Gant, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Gant, Route 2, Sharon Rd., Augusta, has completed 8 weeks of basic training at Ft.
