The Merk of Great Cars 11th at TELFAIR
At its monthly meeting, the
Richmond County Board of
Education appointed Henry H.
Brigham as advisory specialist
in desegregation problems and
related activities.
The overall objective of this
position is to improve die
quality of education in
Richmond County Schools
through the improvement of
administrative and
instructional staff
competencies in dealing with
problems of racial and sexual
biases, and the improvement of
school-community relations.
Brigham, a graduate of Paine
College, received his M. S. Ed.
from Indiana University and
has done further study at the
University of Georgia and
Georgia Southern.
He has served as a classroom
teacher, teacher-counselor; he
was principal at Sand Bar Ferry
and Telfair, and for the past
eight years, he has been
principal of Terrace Manor
School.
South African journalist says
Africans like Young, Idi Amin
by AL IRBY
Black Africans strongly support Andrew Young and look up to
Ugandan President Idi Amin, South African Journalist Stephen
Kgame said in Augusta last week.
Kgame said Africans like what Young is saying but he’s not
talking enough. “We’re looking forward to him bringing the U. S.
government to put pressure on South Africa.”
Kgame is on a 30-day tour of American cities to observe the
progress of Black in the United States. The tour is sponsored by
the state department.
He said he wanted to make it clear that he did not come as a
stooge for the South African apartheid system.
A political reporter for the Johannesburg Rand Daily Mail,
Kgame said he put Augusta on his schedule because he wanted to
see a typical small town in the United States.
While in Augusta last Wednesday and Thursday, he visited
Paine College, Augusta College, The Pilgrim Health and Life
Insurance Co and The Augusta-Chronicle-Herald newspapers.
Kgame said the Black-white situation in South Africa has not
improved and said even the self-styled Marxist governments in
sub-Sahara Africa really wished to be genuinely non-aligned and
would eventually welcome economic and cultural ties with the
United States.
Commenting on his observations of the United States he said,
“Racism in the United States is more subtle and Blacks have more
opportunities.” And he added, “African Blacks look up to Idi
Amin more than your newspapers let you know.”
While he was talking about his son being refused admission at
Stellenbosh University in South Africa, 10 Black students were
admitted. The decision to admit the Black students is a complete
reversal of National Party apartheid policy.
Kgame was not aware of this development when he was in
Augusta.
Kgame did say, however, that South Africa has more Black
college graduates than the rest of Black Africa combined.

board elects to fire me before
that time, then I shall have to
call upon you to let me
represent your interests
directly ”
“Following Wilkins’s speech
there was a two-hour recess
after which board Chairman
Margaret Bush Wilson said that
Wilkins’s charge that board
members had conducted a
campaign of vilification against
h im was “without
foundation.” The directors, she
said, had “exerted every
effort” to have Mr. Wilkins’s
retirement accompanied by
“all possible recognition for his
manifold contributions.”
“Mrs. Wilson said that at the
Jan. 12, 1976 board meeting,
the Committee on National
Affairs recommended that
Wilkins retire June 30, 1977.
The report, she said, was
modified by the board with
Wilkins’s consent so that the
effective date of his retirement
would be January 1, 1977 or
“as soon thereafter as
practicable.”
This arrangement, she
continued, would have enabled
the new director to assume
office January 1, 1977 and
eliminate the necessity for an
amendment of the NAACP
constitution which would be
required if a new director
would assume office in
mid-year.
“These considerations were,
we thought, all understood and
agreed to by Mr. Wilkins who
was present throughout the
meeting of January 12,
participated in the discussions
and even suggested the
arrangement.”
Wilkins is a very private
person and does not often give
vent to his deeper emotions. So
his Memphis speech was not
the spontaneous babbling of an
impetuous old man. It was the
overflow of powerful feelings
about which he had thought
long and deeply. For it
necessarily had negative
implications for the
oiganization to which he has
devoted his life and the
dignified image he has
projected throughout his life.
And it was probably
particularly difficult to do at
an age at which some people
have suggested that he is
becoming senile.
Amid the controversy,
national figures pleaded with
the NAACP board to let
Wilkins retire with dignity. One
14-member group included Sen.
Hubert Humphrey, Mayor
Thomas Bradley of Los
Angeles, Mayor Richard
Hatcher of Gary, Ind., former
Attorney General Ramsey
Clark and Psychologist Dr.
Kenneth B. Clark.
The Memphis speech opened
up a festering sore and the pus
ran out, making it possible for
the healing process to begin.

V-J THE STARS
by sylvia hair/ton
June 21 - June 30
ARIES - March 21 - April 20
After a whirwind month, you may now begin to feel a little
tired or emotionally strained and may want to relax and rest.
Emphasis shifts to your home and domestic matters. Arrange to
spend more time with family during this last part of this cycle,
arrange to visit with relatives; bury family feuds if necessary; you
will gain through family connections now.
TAURUS April 21-May 20
This is the period of the month when you settle into some new
affairs. You'll want to make plans and discuss issues...plan and
organize. You like to get attention from others now and your
knowledge and wisdom will attract new acquaintances. You are
cheerful, enjoying family and friends, and feeling that life is good
and quite full now.
GEMINI - May 21 - June 20
This week is by far the best period of the month for you. Your
perspective widens. You are more sure of yourself and about
certain aspects of your life ...your love life in particular. This
makes a better person of you. Make the most of this spendid
Jupiter-Mercury cycle. Wedding bells will ring for many of you.
You continue to make progress financially and may blend a
business- pleasure trip, but mostly it is pleasure travel that is
accented now.
CANCER June 21 - July 22
On this day, the Sun enters your sign and you should start to
notice a change. You will feel more confident, optimistic and
back in the mainstream of your life. You can start to work on
plans for expansion in what you want in matters of career, money
and personal relationships. Your particular wish has every chance
of being fulfilled during this period.
LEO - July 23 - August 22
You are more than usually hard-working during this period and
can expect to make reasonable, if not remarkable, progress with
improved working relationships. You are in a restrictive period
now and unforeseen inhibitions make you grouchy and difficult
to get along with. Avoid taking risks with money; save where you
can; speculation is not favored now. Wait for a better period,
which is coming in July.
VIRGO - August 23 - September 22
This may be the best period of this month for you as you raise
your eyes from the mud and make an effort to be more agreeable
with everyone. Doing this will be beneficial to you. Jupiter is a
big asset your career and work area now which will help you to
extend your good mood and feeling of accomplishment. Virgos,
who are eligible, could attract a new romantic relationship as
your personal life is especially accented now.
LIBRA - September 23 - You will be in fine form during this
period. Your emotions are calmer and many of you are reaping
rewards for efforts of the past year and should see significant
changes for the better in career and work area. A definite trend
toward happier days is here for you. Personal relationships should
have improved by now also and you’ll probably wine and dine
out many times. Go to it and have fun now!
SCORPIO - October 23 November 22
The spiritual side of your life is accented during this period and
you may have reason to do some deep thinking about yourself
and your life. You may be a little bored with material valuesand
want to take a look at your inner-self now. Open your mind to
new things and accept reality where you find it.
SAGITTARIUS- November 23 - December 21
This should be an expansive period for Sagittarians; you may
sense a new beginning in the air. Personal and family
relationships, social activity and financial plans should all proceed
favorably and gains are distinctly possible during this period. This
is a gregarious cycle and social appetites are strong. Watch out
that you do not over-indulge in food and drink and talk to those
who should be avoided.
CAPRICORN - December 11 January 19
There is accent placed on the personal side of your life at this
time, and less emphasis on business activity. There are good
opportunities for pleasure now. Romance is in the picture for
those eligibies. Married Capricorns will have domestic harmony.
Show some genuine love, give a gift to someone special!
AQUARIUS - January 20 February 18
Time flies now as you enjoy this sociable season. Later you will
be able to look back on this period as having been extremely
pleasing and gratifying - not that it will all be a bed of roses.
There may be times when you’ll wonder if some of this activity is
worth while. You excel when meeting new and interesting people.
Enjoying sociable crowds is, part of your living pattern, so you
are busy, busy, busy. Family relationships and property deals are
also favored.
PISCES - February 19 - March 20
You may keep busy to the point of exhaustion. While you may
not make great strides financially, you are now able to do your
work with more elation and keep up the pace... getting a second
wind. This cycle is also good for your romantic life, as all is well
in this area now. Your circle of friends is widened during this
cycle. By the end of June you will be more balanced and a much
happier person.
