By R.L. Oliver
I hear that the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
has created a new division to
combat interstate prostitution.
It’s called Prevention of
Interstate Movement of
Prostitution, better known as
PIMP. How is that for a few
yuks? Yuk, yuk.

ASSAULT WITH INTENT
TO MURDER
James Willie Hunt of
Harlem, Ga. reported he was at
Sella Shelton’s home at 1401
Dunns Lane Saturday when a
man named “James” came in
the house and asked, “Is this
the chump you quit for me?”
The man assaulted Hunt,
beating him until the latter was
bloody and weak.
A wanted card was made out
for a Willie James Brooks of
1613 High Street for
aggravated asault with intent to
recently and Marion Cofer was
voted as Mr. Fine.
The Augusta Area League of
Women Voters voted to
support the portion of the
government bill doing away
’With our present form of
city-county government. Now
that’s right interesting, seeing
that these ladies just happen to
be the wives of doctors,
lawyers, businessmen, civic
leaders and just about
everybody who stands to gain
from this vague new form of
new government. That is
everybody but the Black
community.
Think not? Cher’ this out
then. The new go mt bill
murder.

RAPE
An Augusta woman told
police she was raped in her
home Tuesday morning.
The woman said she got up
about 4 a.m. to see about her
baby when a man who entered
the house through a kitchen
window told her he wouldn’t
harm her if she co-operated.
The man kept a pillow over
her head while the act was
commited.
He then telephoned
someone and asked to speak to
“Charles”.
A physician at the hospital
confirmed intercourse but said
there was no sign of violence
other than the marks she had
on her from a fight she had
with her husband the week
before.

Lawrence Promoted
W.S. Hornsby, Jr., president
of the Pilgrim Health and Life
Insurance Company,
announced yesterday that J.
Theodore Lawrence has been
promoted to assistant vice
president-associate agency
director.
Lawrence, a native of
Madison, Georgia, joined
Pilgrim in 1947 as a supervisor.
Before coming to AUgusta
as assistant agency
director-training two years ago,
wants voters to elect an overall
18 local persons to represent
Augusta-Richmond County. If
these people are elected they
will write the consolidation
charter. However, you can rest
assured the Black community
will be under-represented and
chartered right out of the
picture.
Bye the way, those of you
who wish to voice your
opinions on the new form of
government, let your fingers do
the walking and drop me a line
or two and I will place it right
here in this column, and that’s
if you are for, or against.
A young streaker who was
photographed was asked by the
photographer, “how do you
feel about having your picture
taken? To which the streaker
replied, “I wish 1 had known
beforehand, 1 would have
shaved.”
Heard through the grapevine
that Tammie Terrell Sanders,
7, of 2822 Wheeler Road, is
running for the top spot in the
Little Miss Paine College
contest to be held soon.
One of the Block to the Hill
readers asked what does the
YMCA do besides recreation.
Didn’t know but a trip to the
Augusta YMCA, 945 Broad St.
provided the answre including
photography courses, chess
courses, real estate courses,
guitar and you name it. I
discovered that in 2 minutes,
but you can find out for
yourself by calling 722-4801.
And what’s wrong with
recreation?
For those of you interested,
a Black-white encounter group
got under way March 24th at
the Unitarian Church at 3501
Walton Way Ext. It really is a
deep set. If you want to check
it out, call Rufus Sanders at
733-7852 after 6 p.m.
Anyone interested in
forming a Bible Discussion
group? Give R.L. a call at
733-3655 Extension 328.
A concluding note this
week: A handicapped student
was almost struck by an auto
at Paine College as he was
crossing at Druid Park on the
way to class. This is
unnecessary because there are
traffic lights installed there,
but on many occasions drivers
ignore the lights. A good
suggestion would be that the
Augusta Police Department
would concentrate as much
effort on excessive speeding as
they do writing tickets for
students, the problem would
cease to be.
Bye y’all.

Boggs Students In Multi
cultural Exchange
As she was getting a drink of
water, Michael felt a tap on the
should. He heard a young lady
say, “Hey, congratulations on
getting accepted at Duke.” His
initial though was, after
looking up and seeing that it
was Emily who passed the
praise, “she feels for me, like
any other student!”
The conversation could
occur most any day at Boggs
Academy, between students.
Only these students were
practically strangers. They
came together at that water
cooler from very different sets
of cultural and socio-economic
experiences. They are enrolled
in private schools located 800
miles apart. They had met for
the first time just a few days
before. One was Black. One
was white.
These two high school
students had already developed
a feeling, a loving concern, a
real caring for one another.
They were sharing in the
multi-cultural experiences of a
student exchange.
Participating in this year’s
exchange with Boggs were
University, Laurel and
Hathaway-Brown Schools, all
located in the Cleveland area.

Don’t overpay-Trade with Jay
School( was soon adopted in
reference to all students from
the three Cleveland schools.
Mr. Roland McKinley,
Headmaster of the University
School, and Mr. Calvin E.
Thornton, President of Boggs,
arranged the two week
exchange of twelve students
from each area.
Michael Holyfield, a senior
at Boggs, was summing up his
experience as as a two week
exchange. The tap on the
shoulder and praise from Emily
Hartwell, a senior at Hathaway
Brown School in Cleveland was
the highlight of his experience
as a result of the exchange.
At least twelve Ohio
students and the same number
from Boggs student body
hopefully had as many positive
experiences.
For some like Tim Bulter, a
Boggs student from
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
who travelled to Cleveland, the
experience met, “my first trip
to Cleveland, seeing the rolling
hills and snow. 1 mey my host
... (he was) different from me,
but 1 liked it all the way.”
Or like Michael’s observation

when the two dozen
participating students were

brought together at Boggs to
determine the value of the
exchange, Michael opened the
discussion with a prayer, ...
Thank you, Lord, for a first
time look at a life style other
than my own, and for helping
me to see that I did not know
it all.” Co-hosts for the evening
were Charles Bates (for U.S.)
and Michael (for Boggs).
U.S. students were unamious
in praise of the friendliness
among students at Boggs. As
John Swaithe put it, “I noted
Boggs students always making
friends, everybody feeling a
close, more abundant
friendship.”
What about the food? The
Boggs students had fun
introducing the U.S. student to
‘soul food’, including ham
hocks and black-eyed peas.
Some of the U.S. students
admitted opting for the soul
food substitute-peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches.
One Boggs student bound
for Cleveland admitted to
filling up on her mother’s
biscuits before hand. “Mom, I
may not like the food.” After a
few days with her hosts, she
telephoned her mother that
things were better than she
anticipated. The food, in
particular, was really good!
