Claude Douglas Dismuke, 2619 North 20th Street, received a $ 150 cash award and a bronze medallion for “Junkie” at a press conference at The Plaza Hotel in New York. Produced in cooperation with Cary Edwards, Reggie Davis and The Milwaukee Inner City Workshop, this color film documents the dreadful world of heroin addiction against a background of blues and poetry. Caught up in a clandestine contemporary scene, a young man drags himself out of bed and onto neon-lit night city streets. At a bar, he trades an ornately-framed photograph that had been hanging in his room for a pint of liquor.

Take this junkie who I made my flunkie. He forgot, I’m heroin.” “A very effective anti-heroin film, one of the best I’ve seen,” enthused one judge who reflected his colleagues’ consensus in the choice of “Junkie” for a top award. “Outstanding piece of work! Beautifully done from start to finish and quite moving ... good combination of realism and poetry ... good script, well acted and photographed ... contains a lot of meaning.” A June graduate of Washington High School, Dismuke says he was inspired to make his winner through the real-life tragedies of “people I know that at one time or another experienced this wicked scene.” The future television technician or cinematorgrapher spent “about 52 hours on and off’ to complete his production. % 0F FINE millinery X\\ 217 9th Street Augusta, Georgia \ A Crown yourself with a hat x'W \\l from Leßa's and reign as B \ queen of the holiday ■B .

TARUS (April 21 - May 20) Irritations about minor matters can make you almost ill. Your worry and fussing about work can lead to conditions resembling an ulcer which might turn out to be a real ulcer before long. GEMINI - (May 21 - June 21) You may be far more lighthearted about a situation than it merits. Best to take relationships seriously and try to make them as good as possible rather than having a chip on your shoulder. CANCER - (June 22 - July 22) Work can be rugged and you may be weary, but you will find away to pull yourself together enough to get over the rough spots and keep going with your duties. You may not get enough rest but the time for that is .coming, so be of good cheer. LEO (July 23 - August 23) When choosing clothes be sure that they go well together, and don’t feel you have to stick to muted colors in order to achieve this. Go in for the bright and new tones which can give others quite a kick. VIRGO (August 24 - September 22) Your nerves can be on edge and you may take it out on an innocent younger person. This cycle is especially unfortunate for anyone who has high ambitions for their children. Children are not likely to be very considerate of you now. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) You may spot someone who takes your immediate interest, and decide upon a love conquest. This person may be near you at work and that makes an exciting game, Or, this person may drop in where you work which is even more exciting. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 22) The time is rough going for you. You are adjusting to totally new circumstances and will have to summon all the strength in your character. You may meet with disloyalty, have insolent children to annoy you or friends who fail you. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Make your habits healthy and keep them that way. Do not pull any fancy tricks over this lingering holiday season. Be very careful what goes into your stomach and don’t take dares or rise to the bait of those around you. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid being gullible this week. You could be taken in by someone who has a long record of falshood and red hot lies. In romance, be especially careful not to believe everything you see or hear. You could be taken in by a charming person who knows how to put on an act. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This month can be a dismaying cycle due to romantic criss-cross conditions. Your lover may have someone new. You should not worry too much about this for it will all be over by the time summer arrives and you’ll be back in the arms of your beloved. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) You can be terribly disappointed in a marriage, be it the first or second. You can make a resolve to leave and stay away for good. No one can stop you from such a move, but do think about it more than twice before taking this step.
