Because their trial hasn’t
come up yet, their names
cannot be used, but dig this. A
husband shot his wife in the
foot last week and she stayed
one week in the hospital. You
guessed it, when she got out
she hit him in the foot with a
baseball bat. Now he’s in. So
trial will have to wait until he
gets better ... Yuk, yuk.
Far be it from me to knock
any program that will aid an
alcoholic, but what good does
it do to force a man to take
antabuse against his will just to
keep him sober enough to go
through a program that makes
a lot of paper work look good
in Washington, D.C., like we
are making progress in this
particular area. HOGWASH!
When he leaves these so-called

fails to gain employment once
he is released from the

Fuqua new March
of Dimes Chairman
Mr. W.D. Fuqua has been
appointed Campaign Chairman
of the Richmond County
Chapter of the National
Foundation-March of Dimes
for 1973-74.
“The March of Dimes is
constantly working toward its
goal of birth defects
prevention. Genetic counseling,
early detection of high-risk
pregnancy, and intensive care
of the critically ill newborn are
some of the modem means
used to combat babies’ public
enemy number one - birth
defects,” he said.
“The public must be made
aware of the need for better
prenatal and perinatal care.
This is medical care during the
months of pregnancy and the
weeks just before and after
birth. These are critical times
for every mother and baby.
Here in Richmond County, this
care is vital as we have an
infant and maternal death rate
that’s nearly twice thee
national average,” Mr. Fuqua
added.

statement on yesterday’s

“The American Jewish
Congress deplores the action of
the House of Representatives
yesterday in barring the use of
fuel to transport pupils to
schools for the purpose of
reducing racial segregation.
“The need to save energy is
plain. But it would be shameful
for us to use the excuse of the

March of Dimes volunteers,
like those involved with Better
Infant Briths (BIB), are
sponsoring educational and
community service programs to
inform the public about known
means of prevention Other
March of Dimes volunteers also
promote fund-raising activities
to support further medical
research and treatment.
“Across the country, the
March of Dimes also supports
some 118 medical service
programs,” Mr. Fuqua noted,
“including the one at the
Medical College of Georgia.”
“The aim of these programs
is to help each newborn to his
right to a healthy start in life,”
he said.
The local chapter will have
its 22nd Mothers March on

“It is not a ‘waste’ of fuel to
use it to provide a decent
education. It is not ‘wasteful’
to take steps that are necessary
to fulfill the promise of
equality which is a basic part
of our constitutional system.
“The United States Congress
has for years stood firm against
unceasing efforts to obtain this
kind of restrictive legislation.
We hope it will not now allow
itself to be turned from this
just and wise course because of
the country’s necessary
concern about the energy
crisis.
“The energy crisis must not
be used as a cloak for an
assault on our liberties.”
