I had a hectic last week
playing “DP”. Nope its not
“Dignified Persons”; I was
“Dodging Politicians”.
Bonnie Gray and Sue
Gudger (Giddens?) informed
this comer I omitted and
overlooked them in my last
batch of hellos and Hi’s and
heys for the gorgeous mob at
the C & Y Clinic Sorry bout
that. So in capital letters here
they are in capital letters: HI
“BONNIE”, “SUE”,
“HELEN”, “ABELIA”,
“KAREN”, “ESTHER” and
everyone I missed this time.
Here is a message for the
guest editorialist in one of the
local newspapers earlier this
week. Yes you sound like a
“800-Bird” at a Falcons game.
This particular guest is upset
because, the Rev. Hosea
Williams and Vice-Mayor
Maynard Jackson polled as
many votes as tey did in last
week’s mayoral aldermatic
elections in Atlanta. He gave
two good excuses one was
white voters did not turn out,
the other was that bloc voting
polarizes.
Mv message is, white
politicians through trickery,
Chicanery and naivetes are the
sole perpetuators of
polarization, example: “The
Black politicians in good faith,
backed Richmond County
Commission Chairman Norman
Simowitz to his post on the
commission.
So what was his first act?
Racial public relations, he set
himself as an authority on
wether the people of this
county were ready for a
“Black” commission chairman.
Result, what Black person in
his right mind would ever back
him again.
That’s not bloc voting, that’s
rationale

confrontation pitting the
Egyptians and Syrians versus
he Israelis seems to be a one
sided affair numerically. The
Arabs combined manpower
pits 121,000 more men than
the Israelis army of 300,000.
In tanks alone the combined
Arab strength of 3,055
outnumbers the Israelis by
more than 2,000. However, if
all Israelis armor were tallied
together the Arabs would be
outnumbered by 3995. The
Israelis have 65 less boats than
the Arabs and some 458 fewer
airplanes and that’s the telling
point.
Without a doubt the Israelis
have one of the finest airforces
in the world.

GUESS WHO
The politician who refused
the bribe last week?
Well the city council
elections will be over when this
is read and for that, I am sorry
because this should have been
read prior to the elections. Mrs.
Inez Wylds candidate for the
first ward city council seat read
a televised press release
concerning Russell Malone the
other candidate. Contained in
her release was the fact that
Joe Taylor of the Civil Service

LEAP is an Apprenticeship

The LEAP Program has been
both an important and
necessary addition to the

devotes themselves to career

development of Black people,
said Field Representative Joe
Jones.
Our LEAP Labor Affairs
Program has enabled us not
only to provide economic
up-lift for Black people, but we
have also been able to
implement all important
education and informational
aspects that must accompany a
program of this magnitude.
It is our hope that a visible

opponent Russell Malone.
Be that as it may (I talked
with Malone and he informed
me that Taylor was not his
campaign manager) why was
this information not brought
forward before. I am quite sure
had Black Augusta known Joe
Taylor was a 30 Karat
diamonds manager they would
not support his candidate. Mr.
Taylor has made some very
unfavorable decisions
concerning brutal treatment to
Black citizens from the hands
of policemen as well as being
