TRANSPLANT? Neville Aurelius (Johnny Monk) and Lynne Redgrave (Nurse Betty Martin) are
surprised as Donald Sinden (Mr. Boyd) suggests a transplant for his ill son after refusing to allow his use
of a kidney machine in this scene from the upcoming Columbia Pictures release, THE NATIONAL
HEALTH OR NURSE NORTON’S AFFAIR. The film version of Peter Nichols’ hilarious play, produced
by Ned Sherrin and directed by Jack Gold, has a highly professional acting cast, which also includes Colin
Blakely, Eleanor Bron, Jim Dale and the exciting new discovery from Illinois-Shiela Scott-Wilkerson, a
black actress who plays the title role. Aurelius, among several members in the cast playing dual roles, was
bom in Jamaica but is now a naturalized British citizen. His stage and screen performances have won
critical praise. THE NATIONAL HEALTH OR NURSE NORTON’S AFFAIR was filmed entirely on
location in South London.
Gordon Realigns Civilian Jobs
Fort Gordon officials have
announced today a realignment
of civilian job positions which,

Chrismons - New Idea
In Xmas Decorations
Chrismons created for
Fairview Presbyterian Church
in North Augusta by Mrs.
William R. Kritz are on exhibit
in the glass display cases in the
second floor lobby of the
Augusta-Richmond County
Public Library, 902 Greene
Street.
Chrismons-their name is
derived from a combination of
the words “Christ” and
“monogram”-are symbols
representative of Christ and are
used to decorate Christmas
trees instead of traditional
ornaments.
All of the Chrismons on
display at the library were
made for her church by Mrs.
Kritz, who has led many
workshops in the area for
groups interested in
inauguarationg the custom of
the Chrismon tree in their own
churches.
Chrismons may be simple or
elaborate but they must be
made only of white and gold.
One of the outstanding ones in
the current exhibit is the
crown which is used on the top
in the final analysis, could
mean the loss of up to 30
civilian employees at the Post.
According to S.Aubrey
Forester, Civilian Personnel
Officer, the realignment affects
130 Civil Service employees.
However, he says mst of the
workers are being offered other
jobs on the Post.
Officials say the realignment
was brought about by the need
to “correct an imbalance of job
skills” among the nearly 3,000
civilian employees at Fort
Gordon.
Forester says current US
Civil Service Regulations
require a 60-day notice and,
accordingly, the realignment
action will take effect in
mid-January.
The Civilian Personnel
Officer says employees facing
job loss are eligible for the
of the Fairview Presbyterian
tree each year. Sixteen hours
of work went into the creation
of this symbol of “Jesus Christ,
King of Kings and Lord of
Lords”, which is formed of
gold beads and pearls. Then
some children broke it and it
had to be done over again!
The symbolism of each
Chrismon is explained in the
display.
Both Mrs. Kritz and her
husband are natives of Neoga,
Illinois. They have lived in
North Augusta for 16 years,
since Mr. Kritz was sent by
DuPont to the Savannah River
Plant. They are the parents of
three children.
Mrs. Kritz’s other interests
include sewing, gardening and
bridge, but she is perhaps best
known for her singing. She is a
member of the Fairview
Presbyterian Church choir,
secretary of the Augusta
Choral Society and a member
of the Augusta Madrigal
Singers. She is also a member
of the North Augusta Woman’s
Club and the Carolina
Hospitality Club of North
Augusta.
It is her hope that those
seeing her display, which is
open free to the public during
regular library hours, will be
inspired to make Chrismons of
their own before the Christmas
season this year.

Forester also says attempts
will be made locally to retrain
employees for job skills
available at Fort Gordon. In
cases where employees facing
job loss cannot be placed on
Post, he adds that personnel
officials will assist the
employee in seeking jobs with
other US government agencies
in the Augusta area.
According to the civilian
personnel chief, some
employees currently scheduled
for separation may be offered
other jobs prior to the January
deadline due to resignations,
retirements and other
personnel options which could
occur before the effective date.

| # "'i'S' I
For The Week of November 8 -14:
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A party you plan may take a lot
of work but do not get so wearied you cannot enjoy guests. You
can have some important and influential people on your list of
friends from now on. Be very thoughtful about people who are
loyal to you through a critical situation.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 20) - Write encouraging letters, send
money to someone deserving who needs it and in general be
out-going. A good time to join a hobby club for relaxed happiness
and companionship it gives.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) - Ask a fovor of a friend of the
opposite sex and you will get needed help of a minor nature
Avoid imposing further, though, for you could be turned down
quite brusquely. Keep habits healthy and inexpensive. Start gift
buying when you see things you know would be enjoyed as gifts.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22) - New acquaintances may invite you
to dinner and prove to be very charming people as well as helpful
to others. Your spiritual interests may be newly awakened by
such friends.
LEO (July 23 - August 23) - Keep up with the times even though
it does mean some discarding of traditional values you considered
worthwhile. No use being out of the stream of progress.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 22) - An invitation to something
special should be accepted. Your enjoyment of music is in
evidence and you can have a real treat at a special recital. You’ll
be proud of the way your companion appears at this time.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) - If unmarried, someone you
meet now may be vital to your future happiness. Do not
approach people of the opposite sex in too cynical a manner.
Have sympathy for someone who has a burden to bear.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 22) - Avoid criticizing another
for spending on pleasure, see this person’s view and sympathize
with it quietly. Develop your wisdom on more tolerant lines and
you will have a happier personal life. Visiting a relative can make
the month a memorable one and this cycle is just right for the
purpose.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) - Trying to please
someone else is much better than taking a selfish course. Do what
you think a loved one wants and you will soon know if that is the
answer. You may be elected to a special job in connection with
church or a large organization. Do not doubt your own abilities.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) - Make a resolve and
keep it. Be very much in mind of the law and do nothing that
could be construed as hazardous. Seek the most quiet wisdom
you have and use it, develop personality on more quiet lines and
you will make better impressions all the way around
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) - A cloud can be
between yourself and a romantic companion and it may take
some time to dispel it but it is worthwhile waiting for the ripe
days when all can be well again.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) - Trust your ability to be
resilient after misfortune. You will have to live through a cycle of
impecunious trend and it can take some time to make your way
out of it due to large bills that are due. Be prompt in tbjese,.
matters.
