ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT Classified Advertising Deadline 12 noon On Tuesday Display Advertising Deadline 12 noon On Tuesday OFFICE HOURS 1- 6 P.M. Monday thru Friday WHY & HOW The News-Review is a brand new newspaper. It has no relationship with any other newspaper past or present. We feel that there is a need for another newspaper in the Central Savannah River Area because there is a significant amount of newsworthy information, particularly news that would be of interest to Blacks, that is not being printed. We would like to make it indisputably clear that we intend to serve the total community but we want it equally clear that we have a particular concern for the Black community. We would further like to emphasize that our goal is communication. We feel that only when people understand each other can they move toward a meaningful relationship wherein the differences of each individual are respected and the dignity of all is insured. In order to achieve this goal we plan to feature interviews with persons shaping the destiny of our community. We will seek to interview the mayor, the chief of police, the sheriff, leaders of organizations and institutions so that you may know their answers to questions that concern you. We will also have an ‘action line”. This will be a service by which you can write to the New Review about a problem. We will get in touch with the person(s) responsible for knowing the answers, and we will print your question and their answer. Be sure to include your name and address. We will print only your initials, but we must have your name and address for our records. We are setting our rates at prices we feel that everyone can pay. We want you to support this paper, and we want you to feel that this is your newspaper. The News-Review recognizes the lack of jobs as a major community problem that contributes to crime, the welfare rolls, and a sense of personal unworthiness. As a service, the News-Review will print, free of charge, every available job that comes to our attention. We urge employers who have or know of job vacancies to inform us and we will print the information. • Drugs are also becoming an increasing community problem. We will print, again free of charge, any advertisements aimed at preventing the spread of drugs in our community. We feel community problems can often be solved before they get out of hand, if the responsible persons know about them in time. So we will have a “Voice of the People” section wherein we invite you to write in and speak your mind on the problem concerning you. The New-Review feels that everyone should be aware of the important contributions that Blacks have made to this country and to the world. So you can look to us for Black History. A special feature will be our “celebrity” of the week. This will be a person who probably never has done anything outstanding, and through the normal course of events would never appear in a newspaper. We will feature such persons just to let them know that we feel that they are Somebody. We believe that our community should be well informed. We have asked Mrs. Carrie Mays to keep us abreast of important issues before the City Council. Reverend N.T. Young will give us reports from the Board of Education. Mrs. Jean Blount, Mr. Roscoe Williams, and Mr. Willis J. Walker will report to us from Paine College, Augusta College, and the Medical College of Georgia. Dr. LE. Washington, Mrs. Nancy Anderson, Mrs. Mary Utley and Mr. Livingston Wallace will keep us up to date on civic affairs. In this issue we are simply presenting ourselves to let you know what we are trying to do. In the future, editorials will be on the editorial page. We will also have a society page, sports and whatever you suggest. We will continually be trying to improve our newspaper, so let us have your suggestions as to how we may best serve you; and always send us your news. We feel we have a worthy purpose and a capable staff. With your help and God’s we are going to produce a good newspaper.

Indeed, the common interests of all American citizens seems to be that of our educational leaders, particularly in the field of higher education. The various philosophies of education, and attitudes toward college training, seem to be gaining greater attention every day from all our citizens. Share Basic Goals Many leading businessmen in Georgia have become increasingly concerned about the future of higher education in this state, and particularly the needs and opportunities available on the campuses of the independent colleges and universities in Georgia. Walter B. Mackenzie, president of Plantation Pipe Line Company, serves as state chairman of the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges, and he has led other top businessmen to growing involvement with a commitment to high quality higher education. At a recent meeting in Atlanta. Mr. Captain,” he said. “And eight hours of additional training for units has been scheduled during this short period of time to prepare guardsmen for their vital role if called upon to quell civil disturbances.” Vandiver explained that the Governor has authority to order the National Guard to active duty to assist local law enforcement officers control civil strife, if requested to do so by local officials. “While we hope this type of duty will not be necessary, the Georgia National Guard must and will be ready to respond quickly and effectively to restore civil law and order if called on by the Governor to do so,” Vandiver commented. Vandiver, who organized the post World War II National Guard units in the state and was appointed adjutant I A Mackenzie called upon leaders of business and industry throughout the state to increase their support to the independent colleges all over Georgia. This gathering of top businessmen heard Mr. Mackenzie say: “Independent colleges depend solely on tuition, gifts and endowments for their finances, and cannot raise tuition fees as freely as economic changes would normally require every tuition increase limits further the number of students who can afford these quality private colleges.” Help One Another Mr. Mackenzie pointed out in a most forceful way that the business community and private colleges need each other in the era of economic and social turmoil, when the private enterprise system is under fire, and private colleges are struggling for their financial survival. “Profit and free enterprise are not dirty words,” he said. “They are the strength and lifeblood of our republic .. .the foundation stones on which our economy general by Gov. Jimmy Carter with instructions to reorganize and modernize the Guard, praised Georgia Guardsmen for passing the annual federal inspections conducted by the Third Army. Citing Secretary Defense Laird’s memorandum of last August stressing the nation’s increased reliance on the ational Guard and other serve forces, Vandiver also r ealed that there have been substantial increases in the Guard’s inventory of equipment. He said Guard units have received all of their authorized Ml 6 rifles. Other items such as new trucks, wreckers, ambulances, heavy engineer equipment, radio and signal equioment and self-propelled howitzers are coming in, he said.

They are interdependent; they must consider and treat each other as partners.” Concern of Citizens This partnership between business and the leaders of higher education is one of great significance to all Georgia citizens and taxpayers. As more and more leaders of the business community recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy, viable system of dual private and public colleges in our state, the values of this choice and diversity will continue to benefit all Georgians. Durin g its recently concluded 1971 session, the Georgia General Assembly approved legislation which will assist thousands of Georgia citizens in obtaining the college training they need and prefer, at the same time saving state dollars for all Georgia taxpayers. This bill provides modest tuition grants for students wo live in Georgia THE NEWS - REVIEW 930 GWINNETT ST.
