The Augusta News-Review ■ October 11, 1973 iFrom Th® I Block I Ek Ms '**'* To The HiH By R.L. Oliver 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 SIGN OF THE WEEK A lounge at the top of the Bon Aire Hill Sports this sign, “HOOKERS” “PUSHERS” “DOI” NOT WELCOME.

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. MILITARY RECOGNITION Paul C. Owens, son of Mrs. Martha Owens of 532 Hines St. graduated basic training at the Paris Island Marine Base this past Sept. Owens, a 1969 graduate of Lucy Laney High School, is married to the former Janie Holmes of Augusta. Another graduate of Lucy C. Laney, Edward L. Kirk, son of Mrs. Mary M. Farmer of 731 Taylor St., also graduated from the Paris Island Marine Base last Sept. 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 Commission (who is supposed Page 2 LEAP Annouces Labor Affairs Seminar Labor Education Advancement Program is happy to annouce a Labor Affairs Seminar to held in Augusta, Georgia on October 12, Band 14th, 1973. LEAP is an Apprenticeship Training Program that deals in preparing minority for the Construction Trades in such areas as electrician, asbestos worker, pipefitter, etc. The LEAP Program has been both an important and necessary addition to the National Urban League Program which specifically devotes themselves to career planning and 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 LEAP Labor Affairs Program will be an integral part of this Agency’s Program Offerings for many years to come,” Jones stated. to serve as an administrative authority for the Augusta Police Department) is campaign manager for her 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 against the eleven Black policemen who filed the discrimination suit against A.P.D., I know I was there, I reported it.
