school and are selected will
receive 540 hours (16 weeks)
training in all phases of police
work. The program is open to
men and women and they will
be processed as if they were
going to be hired to go to work
for the APD.
Applicants must have
reached their 20th birthday,
but not their 40th, and each
applicant must be a high school
graduate or the equivalent;
must have a Georgia driver's
license; live within a 45 mile
radius of the APD.
In addition applicants must
have a clean bill of health,
legally; no previous felony
convictions, no overload of
misdemeanors, and must not
have a long list of traffic
tickets.
Johnson explained the

obtained from CSRA MDAA

Candidate Gambrell
Campaigns On His Record
By R. L. Oliver
Former U.S. Senator, and
Gubernatorial candidate David
Gambrell met with several
Black leaders in Augusta last

and statewide problems.

Post 616
Holds Election
Post 616 of the American
Veterans of World War 11,
Korea and Viet Nam held its
annual meeting for election of
officers on May 13th.
The elected officers and
some seventy odd members
dedicated themselves to their
slogan “The Post with a
Purpose.” The American
Veterans organization is one of
the leading groups in the CSRA
that renders service to the
community. In the past, the
organization and its woman’s
auxiliary have donated food to
stipends to students who are
accepted for the school. All
applicants must qualify as head
of household to receive the
stipend. Then qualified
applicants will receive SSO per
week, $.06 a mile to travel to
and from the training center,
and $5.00 for each additional
family member,” he said.
For those who do not
qualify as heads of households
there is no stipend. However,
they can, if qualified , enter
the program without the
stipend.
