THE FIFTH QUARTER
By Michael Thurmond
Even though the Georgia
Bulldogs suffered a
heartbreaking 11-10 defeat by
the Florida Gators Saturday,
fans in the CSRA can still
stand-up and be proud because
of one Sylvester Boldher. The
ex-Lucy Laney star started his
first game Saturday and
according to Bulldog coaches
played exceedingly well.
James Green, former Paine
College basketball star who was
drafted by the Atlanta Hawks
of the NBA in ‘73 is now
teaching school in Savannah,
Ga.
Pittsburgh beat the
Oakland Raiders Sunday with
Terry Hanratty quarterbacking
but I think that Joe Gilliam
should have gotten another
chance after his performance
against the Redskins on
November 5. Gilliam is one of
the ten Black quarterbacks in
the NFL.
Believe it or not, the
Augusta Eagles recently played
a team from Greeneville, S.C.
for the Dixie League semi-pro
championship. Things didn't
quite work out for the home
team, however, as the Eagles
lost 31-7.
Can’t help but notice the
increasing number of Black
quarterbacks now playing big
time college football for '
predominantly white schools.

It made me feel good to see
two former teammates on TV
last Saturday Horace King and
Richard Appleby of the
Georgia Dogs. Appleby and I
almost grew up together. He
really had to fight the odds to
make it.... but thats another
story for another time.
The sports documentary
“The Long Winter of Henry
Aaron” was excellent. Makes
me kinda wonder what this
“land of the free and home of
the brave” is all about.
Lucy Laney experienced one
of its worst seasons in many
years as they went 5-5 on the
season. Next year the Wildcats
will find themselves in a new
region with new opponents as
they move into 7AAA. It’s
been a long time since Laney
played a school from Athens,
but that’ll be the case in ‘74
because two Athens teams are
also listed in 7AAA.

"Forward
Augusta”
Announced
A group of Augusta financial
institutions announced
Wednesday the formation of
Forward Augusta,
Incorporated, which will
develop a new 403-acre
industrial complex in South
Augusta known as Forward
Augusta Industrial Plantation.
“During the past twelve
months, five of Augusta’s
financial institutions have been
moving toward the creation of
a non-profit corporation for
the purpose of developing a
prime industrial community,”
announced D.D. Barnard, Jr.,
Executive Vice President of
Georgia Railroad Bank and
Trust Company and President
of Forward Augusta,
Incorporated.
The result of these efforts is
the formation of Forward

non-profit corporation, the

Cummings And Paige
To Lead PC Lions
When the Paine College
Lions take to the floor this
season much will be
determined concerning their
success or failure by Horace
Cummings and Lester Paige.
Cummings, a 6’7” ex-center,
was moved by Coach Tolbert
to forward this season
principally because of his
deadly shooting eye from the
outside. The senior who last
year ranked high in NAIA
rebounding statistics has shown
a natural touch from his new
position. Cummings told the
News-Review concerning the
new position, * “Personally, I
feel much more comfortable at
forward because during my
high school career that was the
only position 1 played. 1 really
didn’t start playing center until
I got to Paine.”
The soft spoken Cummings
was asked to appraise this years
Lion squad, “We’re a much
better team this year, we have
a lot more spirit and
enthusiam. There are also some
very talented ballplayers who
help us in terms of winning
ballgames.”
Part Two of Paine’s
“Dynamic Duo” is high scoring
guard Lester Paige a Savannah,
Ga. native who was ranked
eighth in the Nation in NAIA
scoring with a 35 point
average.
Paige who is in his final
season, has sometimes been

are Duane Grice, Vice
President - C&S National Bank;

President - First Federal
Savings & Loan Association;
H.C. McGowan, Vice President
and Trust Officer - First
National Bank and Trust
Company; John Adamson,
President - First Augusta State
Bank; and D.D. Barnard, Jr.
The group also announced
the assembling of property for
industrial development located
on the south side of Tobacco
Road, between Highways 25
and 56. Forward Augusta
Industrial Plantation, the
official name for the tract, will
offer tailor-made industrial
sites serviced by water, sewage,
rail siding, and convenience to
major highways and air
facilities.
This industrial community
can best be identified as “clean
industrial development”.
Protective covenants will be
applied to provide a uniformity
of construction, set-back of
buildings, landscaping, and
other features that will make
this an ideal industrial
development. Through the use
of swale and burins, every
effort will be made to control
noise and in general, make this
development as aesthetically
appealing as possible.

When asked about this he
responded, “I know people
have said that about me, but
this year I am going to do
whatever it takes for us to win.
If that means me shooting less
or more it’s alright with me.”

Cummings should lead the

Just two years ago a new
concept in Bible translation
was introduced. It was the
Living Bible, a contemporary,
modern version of the scrip
ture that reads “a lot like
your daily newspaper,” ac
cording to one reviewer.
The New Testament of the
Living Bible has now been
published in an edition espe
cially for the Black reader in
a volume called Soul Food.
It is a vinylized paperback
edition, generously illustrated
with actual “today style”
photographs, and is available
nearly anywhere books are
sold at $ 1.95 per copy.
The popularity of the Liv
ing Bible and its understand
able style of paraphrasing the
scriptures has been proven by
sales of over 12-million copies
since publication. The pub
lisher, Tyndale House of
Wheaton, Illinois, is currently
shipping over 12-thousand
copies of the Living Bible per
day, to book retailers through
out the nation. “Publishers
Weekly” magazine, the baro
meter of the publishing in
dustry, rated the Living Bible
as the best-selling book of
1972 in the non-fiction cate
gory. The book outsold the
fiction best seller, Jonathan
Livingston Seagull, during
1972.
It is the New Testament of

Henry Aaron (L), and Billye f
Aaron Married In Jamaica
Baseball star Hank Aaron
and his fiancee, Billye Williams,
were married Monday in
Jamaica in a private ceremony.
Aaron, 39, who needs only
one home run to tie the
legendary Babe Ruth’s career
record of 714 homers, flew
with Mrs. Williams, 33, an
Atlanta television personality,
to Jamaica over the weekend.
It is the second marriage for
both.
Aaron, who is divorced, has
two sons and two daughters.
Mrs. Williams is the widow of
the Rev. Samuel Williams, a
well-known Atlanta minister
and civil rights leader. They
have one daughter, 6-year-old
Deidre.
Mrs. Williams, vivacious and
attractive, met the Braves star
two years ago when he
appeared on a show she
co-hosts. They became engaged

of the recently published Soul

the New Testament is pro

of how the theme of that
book relates to life in today’s
world by Twentieth Century
people. In addition to the in
troduction, there are pictures
at the first of each chapter of
Black people in actual life
situations that illustrate the
ideas and thoughts in the fol

According to the publisher,
Soul Food is the first New
Testament that makes the
scriptures more comprehensi
ble to, and fits the specific
needs of, the Black society in
this nation.

Giles’ Dream Becoming
A Reality In Atlanta
Emory Giles, who has
spent over 20 of his 42 years in
prisons across the country, is
now realizing some of dreams
of the Attica Memorial
Foundation of which he is
founder and director. Founded
in Augusta, following the
Attica uprising, the
organization is now
headquartered in Atlanta.
Giles told the News-Review

N.C. Giles recently spoke to
the Conference on Georgia
Prisons and Jails at Emory
University. The Conference
was held on October 27th and
28th.
Giles has been in reform
school, served time for
embezzlement, armed robbery
and extortion among other
crimes.
In 1971, he opened
Evon-Rose leather craft shop
and later worked as outreach
supervisor with the Augusta
Opportunities Industrialization
Center. He said he though it
better to leave Augusta after
attempts were made to frame
him on drug charges.
