WANTED NEWS BOYS Good Pay CALL News—Review Office 722-4555 ■ And ■ Page 2 Senior Aides Project Celebrate First Anniversary The month of November 1973 is most significant to the Senior Community Service Aides Project, sponsored by the National Retired Teachers’ Association and the American Association of Retired Persons, having started in the Augusta area November 1972. This Project places persons 55 years of age and older, with limited income ($2200.00 per year as a single person, or $2900.00 in a family of two) into jobs with non-profit organizations in community or public service. These positions are on-the-job training, where the person works 20 hours per week with a starting pay of $1.60 per hour, paid by the sponsors. This is a Federally Funded Project for Senior Citizens who are willing and able to work. The first Enrollee began on November 30, 1973. The Statistical breakdown is as Georgia Citizens Warned Os Night Fire Dangers Primitive men sat huddled in dark caves until they found that fire brought heat and light to brighten their environment. They also found that unless fire was controlled it would very likely kill them as they dept -- so they were on their guard. Os the approximately 12,000 people who died in fires in the U.S. last year and the more than 200 that died in Georgia, 9 out of 10 died at home, at night, and they died not from the fire itself, but from the smoke and toxic gases which are fire’s by-product - they were not on their guard. In many of these instances, tragedy could have been averted if simple precautions had been taken and if the homes had been installed with an early warning smoke and heat detection device. Because fatal fires in houses and apartments occur most often between midnight and 6 a.m. when occupants are sleeping, it is most important to have a fire escape plan with which every member of the Noonday Film Program On Tuesday, November 27, the films “Blue Men of Morocco” and “Secrets of the Bee World” will be shown at the Augusta Library’s weekly series of film programs “The World in Films” in the Auditorium at 12:10 p.m. A strange and nomadic people who will roam the wastes of the Sahara with their camels is presented in “Blue Men of Morocco”. This film shows how they get their name from the dye which they use to color their clothing. Cut off from civilization by the Atlas Mountains, they make their living from raising and selling camels which also provide milk and butter for the tribe. “Secrets of the Bee World” is another presentation of the “Secrets of Life” series by the Walt Disney organization. It shows how the hive is built and explains the complicated social system which bee colonies observe with the queen, the drones, the workers living and working together.

Project Director Joseph T. Jackson told the News-Review “The reflections over the last twelve months bring many good thoughts to our minds from the cooperation that this Project has received from Mayor Lewis A. Newman; Mr. Norman Simowitz, Chairman of County Commission; Mr. Louis F. Heckman, Manager of the Georgia Training & Employment Service, and many local City and Government officials and Community leaders.” The Enrollees are performing duties in various non-profitable Agencies such as Community Service Centers; Day Care Centers; Catholic Charities; Hospitals; School System, etc. family is familiar. The Insurance Information Institute in co-operation with he Georgia Fire Marshal’s Office suggests that escape plans include at least the following rules as outlined by the National Fire Protection Association: 1. Carefully figure out at least two routes to the outside from every room in the house - especially bedrooms. For upper floor escape, allow for fire blocking stairway or hall and instead plan to use porches, rooftops or approved escape ladders. 2. Be sure exit windows work easily, are low and large enough to climb through, and are not blocked by hard-to-move furniture. 3. Get everyone in the habit of sleeping with bedroom doors closed. This will hold back flame and smoke for those few extra moments vitAi for escape. 4. Pre-arrange an alarm signal to rouse others if fire is suspected -- bang on wall, blow bedside whistle. 5. Pick an outside assembly point where the family will meet and always observe the rule “Once out...stay out”. Once everyone is out safely, call the fire department from a neighbor’s phone or street alarm box. Never stay inside a burning house to make the call. There are many other safeguards which can be taken AC / J.B.White’s Sponsor Contest Senior and junior high school students are being offered an opportunity to enter a three-pronged literary contest sponsored by Augusta College and J.B.

Jobs For Disabled Vietnam Vets Sought A nationwide effort to find suitable and rewarding jobs for Vietnam Era disabled veterans has been launched by the Veterans Administration, the National Alliance of Businessmen and the Department of Labor. Acting on a letter from President Nixon in which he expressed great concern for suitable careers for disabled veterans, VA Administrator Donald E. Johnson this week mailed employment questionnaires to 41,000 of the 368,000 Vietnam Era veterans who have service connected disabilities. The questionnaire is designed to identify veterans who want further training to qualify them for jobs or who want help in finding suitable jobs, and will be sent to all disabled Veitnam Era veterans during the coming months. “Special help - over and above GI Bill education - is available to veterans with service connected disabilities,” Johnson explained. “This is a follow up to insure that the full spectrum of VA benefits has been used to the maximum toward helping the individual veteran overcome disabilities.” The Veterans Administration is permitted by cunent legislation to pay disabled veterans who are drawing compensation an additional $l7O per month Medicare Hospitalization Increases HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger announced today that a Medicare beneficiary will be responsible in 1974 for the first SB4 of his hospital bill, an increase of sl2 over the present amount. The law does not give the Secretary any discretion in setting the Medicare hospital deductible but requires him to determine it for each year on the basis of the average daily cost of hospital care under the program. The base year is a calendar year preceding the prescribed time for the to prevent firbs before they start. Periodic inspections of the premises by electricians, heating equipment servicemen, and local firemen can catch potential firetraps before they cause damage. The cleaning out of trash from basements, attic and storage rooms, as these areas often become the starting point of home fires. However, the most important precaution is a fire consciousness on the part of each member of he family to look for and be prepared for the dangers of fire. important idea which they learned through some personal experience. Important elements include thesis, organization, phrasing, use of detail, word choice, and originality. Length should be between 1,000 - 2,000 words. Entries in the poetry competitions may contain one to five poems. Important qualities include orginality, insight, and technical ability. There are no requirements as to form or content. Contest rules may be obtained through the AC English Department or from school principals. Big Profit Big Cash Dollars Yes!

The monthly stipend, which is increased when there are dependents, is in addition to VA payments for tuition, books and other expenses, and it does not affect compensation payments that range from S2B (for a 10 percent disability) to as high as $1,232 (for 100 percent when loss of limbs is involved). The 66,000-member National Alliance of Businessmen is developing job openings for disabled veterans to be identified by the VA survey. The Department of Labor is cooperating through its state employment offices. Veterans who respond in the survey that they want a job or job training will be contacted immediately by VA counselors. Those who want jobs will be referred to a NAB job opening. Suitable job training programs will be found for others. Va counselors will carefully assess each veteran’s physical capacity, job skills and qualifications before making referrals. Unemployment among disabled veterans is estimated at 14 percent. Administrator Johnson expressed confidence that the rate could be lowed considerably and kept down through the cooperation being extended by the nation’s business enterprises. Secretary’s annoucement. Thus, the current increase is based on 1972 data and reflects increased hospital costs in that year. When the hospital deductible amount changes, the law requires the Secretary to make comparable changes in the dollar amounts a Medicare beneficiary pays toward a hospital stay of more than 60 days, or a posthospital extended care stay of more than 20 days. In 1974, when a Medicare beneficiary has a hospital stay of more than 60 days, he will pay s2l , day for the 61st through the 90th day, up from the present $lB per day. If he has a posthospital stay of over 20 days in an extended care facility, he will pay $10.50 per day toward the cost of the 21st day through the 100th day, up from the present $9 per day. If a Medicare beneficiary ever needs more than 90 days of hospital care in the same benefit period, he can draw on his “lifetime reserve” of 60 days, and will pay $42 for each day used instead of the present $36 per day. Secretary Weinberger also explained that the increase is consistent with the Cost of Living Council’s policy governing price adjustments in the health industry. $49.88 Wainling Written Lifetime Guarantee Giant Auto Painters 1817 Wilkinson Road Phone 73.3-1 095 Paine Students Attend Graduate School Visitation Day by Robert Bell Joyce Mims, Mamie Stallings, Udo Moses Williams, Lucius Pitts and Robert Bell represented Paine College at the third annual Graduate School Visitation Day at Ohio State University Nov. 11 and 12.

He told the students, guests of the Graduate School Visitation Day Program, “Out of thousands of hard working students you made it”. But, he said, with achievement comes the responsibility of putting your education to work for your fellow man. “What do you plan to do for the person who is not as smart as you are, or who has been beaten down by the system?” he asked. The Black gifted graduate of today faces the most challenging era facing Black people in the history of our nation, he said. “A Nation which can put men on the moon can no longer explain to the world why some children do not have shoes,” he said. “Our going to the moon merely points up the inadequacies here on earth. Our chance for happiness is here.” The young generation must take what some have called the “technological Frankenstein” of our society, strip it down to basic humanness and shape it to serve man. < EfTslver] |MGA> 5 AND S.
