Red Cross Plans Water
Safety Program
“Because lives are still being
lost as the result of drowning,
we feel an urgency to intensify
our efforts to reach more
people with Water Safety
training,” said John A. Davis,
Chairman of the Augusta Red
Cross Water Safety Committee,
in a recent statement.
The Augusta Red Cross has
been conducting meetings and
planning sessions since early
January involving
representatives from the City
and County Governments, the
Augusta Recreation
Department, Fort Gordon
Special Services, Board of
Education, Title I, Y.M.C.A.,
Y.W.C.A., Augusta College,
Community Action Agency,
and Red Cross Board inembers.
Davis said, “As a result we are
excited about the possibilities
of more nearly reaching the
needs of our community with
qualitative Water Safety
Instruction than ever before.”
In order to meet the
expanded need for Water
Safety Instructors, the Augusta
Red Cross is sponsoring a class
in late April to train Water
Safety Instructors. Bob Corr,
National Red Cross Safety
Representative, stated during a
recent visit here, “This
instructor training is the
foundation for a real quality
swimming program in the
Augusta Community.”
Mrs. Myrtis Deas, City
Recreation Director, said
“Instructors trained in this
course or holding current
Instructor Authorizations will
conduct classes sponsored by
the Augusta Recreation
Department at Chafee Park
OEO Stop Financial
Support of the Southern
Rural Project
In a telephone interview
with Mr. William Peace, 111,
Director of the Southern Rural
Project, it was learned that this
project is about to be
discontinued.
For those that are unaware
of what the project is, it is an
organization aimed at elevating
the living status of poor people
that live in the rural area of the
State of Georgia. This has been
done in many counties within
the state, by attacking
socio-economic problems at
the grass roots, and helping
folk hardpressed by these
problems to help themselves.
Southern Rural Project is
responsible for many
cooperatives in rural areas,
such as the one in Burke
County where poor folk were
organized into business people
by setting up cleaners, grocery
stores, service stations, etc. The
coop’s as they are called
actually belong to the residents
of this community by buying
shares into the different firms.
The businesses do show profit
for folk who were formerly
recipients of Welfare.
The Project was funded by
The Office of Economic
Opportunity in the past.
However 0.E.0. has plans of
discontinuing this support as of
May 1, 1971.
As Mr. Peace puts it, “If
0.E.0. goes through with it’s
plans, then the poor people of
Rural Georgia will be done a
great disservice.
Mr. Peace, as well as others
who have benefited from SRP,
as well as those who are aware
of the work done, ask for
support of our readers by
writing to Senior Senator
Paine Professor Delivers
Scientific Paper
Dr. Frank R. Davis will
present a paper entitled A
Physiological Approach to the
Yucca-Agave Controversy to
the Georgia Academy of
Science on April 24, at West
Georgia College, Carrollton,
Georgia.
The paper is based on
original experiments conducted
by Dr. Davis, and deals with a
subject that has puzzled
scientists for many years. An
abstract of the paper appears in
the issue of the Bulletin of the
Page 4
Pool this summer. We are
pleased to announce that
swimming classes will be
presented in two week periods
in the foilowing categories:
Beginner, Advanced Beginner,
Intermediate, Swimmer, Junior
and Senior Life Saving.”
Information regarding
registration will be available in
May at the City Recreation
Department and the Augusta
Red Cross.
C.W. Rawson, representing
the Board of Education,
announced that the Title I
Programs this summer would
include instructon for all their
participants during morning
hours at three of the city
pools. Instructors for this
program will also be included
in the Red Cross Instructor
training course.
David said that in order to
be eligible for registering for
the Instructor training a person
must be at least 17 years old
and hold a current Red Cross
Senior Life Saving certificate
or a recently expired
Instructor’s Authorization. The
Instructor training consists of
15 hours in Part I Preliminary,
and 15 hours in Part 11.
Demonstrating the excellent
Agency cooperation in this
community safety effort, Part I
will be taught at the Y.W.C.A.
and Oliver General pools by
chapter approved instructors.
Part II will be taught by Bob
Corr, National Red Cross
Representative. Those from the
Augusta civilian community
interested should file
application at the Augusta Red
Cross Chapter, 811 - 12th
Street immediately.

Pitts Receives
s SOOO Grant
Dr. Lucius Pitts,
President-elect of Paine College
was recently awarded a $5,000
grant through The Danforth
Foundation’s Program of
Short-Term Leave Grants for
college and university
administrators. The grant
enables the recipient to take a
2-4 months leave from his
institution with the
Foundation providing up to
$5,000 for the expenses
incurred during the leave.
According to a Foundation
spokesman, these grants
provide opportunities for
administrators to enlarge their
perspectives of current and
future education issues and to
renew their inner resources for
continued leadership in higher
education.
Dr. Pitts, who will be
coming to Paine in July, plans
to utilize this travel grant early
next year. He has indicated
that he and his wife will travel
to Europe and upon return, he
plans to visit five large
universities, which have a
sizeable Black enrollment of
Ph.D. candidates. In addition,
during this leave period, the
newly elected Paine President
plans to spend some time
writing.
Georgia Academy of Sciences,
and the entire paper was
published in the spring 1970
issue of the Paine College
Journal.
Last semester, it served as a
reference for students of
Biology 434, (an introduction
to Biological Research). The
paper will be used as a
reference this semester for
students of Biology 310
(Classification of the
Angiosperms).

FAIR CREDIT REPORTING
A store has just refused to
let me charge something, and 1
want to know why. I’ve
always paid my bills. How can
I get them to tell me why I
can’t charge there?
After April 25, they’ll have
to tell you if it’s a bad credit
report. That’s the date that
the new Fair Credit Reporting
Act goes into effect. Under
this law, a merchant must tell
you if he is denying you credit
or raising your payments
because of a bad credit report,
and refer you to the local
credit bureau to find out
more. If he received a bad
report on you directly from
another store, you have 60
days to demand a written
explanation.
A credit bureau is obligated
to report to you the nature of
everything in your file, except
medical information.
Annual Womans Day Program
Miss Alma Beard will be the
guest speaker at Pierce Grove’s
Annual Woman’s Day Program,
in Martinez, Georgia. The
program will be held during the
regular morning worship at
11:30 a.m., Sunday, April 25.
Other participants on the
program will be: Mrs. Johnnie
Brooks, Mrs. Marie Collins,
Mrs. Ann Eubanks, Mrs. Hattie
Morton, Mrs. Lorrie Jackson,
These Danforth Foundation
grants, which were awarded to
twenty individuals, are
intended for presidents and
principal academic officers of
junior colleges, four-year
colleges and universities. In
selection, preference is given to
individuals who have served at
least five years in their present
positions, or in a similar
position, but who are not yet
within five years of retirement.
Selection is by invitation rather
than application.
In announcing the recipient,
William C. Nelson, Director of
the Short-Term Leave Grants,
stated: “Our experience with
this program now in its fourth
year, has confirmed the value
of short-term leaves for
academic administrators. Such
leaves are valuable to the
individual administrator, his
academic institution, and to
higher education in general. At
the same time, the Foundation
also’hopes to demonstrate the
value of such leaves so that
institutions will establish their
own leave program for
administrators just as they
provide sabbaticals for faculty
members.
Some of the other recipients
of the Foundation grant are:
Dale R. Corson, President,
Cornell University; Robben
Fleming, President, University
of Michigan; Robert B. Martin,
President, Eastern Kentucky
University; John A. Peoples,
President, Jackson State
College; Albert N. Whiting,
President, North Carolina
University at Durham.
Additionally, the credit
bureau must tell you the
sources of their information,
except for the names of the
people who gave information
regarding morals and
character.
If you disagree with
anything in your file, the
bureau must re-investigate. If
it turns out that the
information was wrong, the
bureau must delete it from
your file, and notify, free of
charge, anyone receiving the
report in the last six months.
Even if, after investigation, the
bureau finds grounds to leave
the bad part in, you have the
right to include your own
version of the facts in the file.
This must be sent to recent
receivers of the report, at no
charge, within 30 days, and
for a small charge if later.
Finally, this law provides
that information concerning a
bankruptcy cannot be
included in a credit report
Mrs. Ruby Mixon, Miss Shirley
Hunter, Mrs. Renna Mae
Latson, and Miss Frances Tutt;
also, Mrs. Mattie Terry, Mrs.
Annie O’Bryant, Mrs. Magilene
Williams.
Mrs. L.A. James is Chairman
of the Program, and Mrs.
Rosanna Hunter is
co-chairman. Reverend Carlie
Gardenhire is pastor.
The public is cordially
invited to attend this service.
Hair styles ranging from the
low-boy Afro to the roaring
20’s “Curley” are all in style
for “the look” this spring and
summer.
Os course, it seems as
though the wig is here to stay.
Men and women seem to enjoy
wearing them because they are
fashionable and very
convenient, especially for those
trying moments.
Why not take on a new look
this spring, and select a new
hair style that is uniquely
becoming to you.

suits, judgments and arrests,
must be left out after seven
years, unless the credit
involved comes to $50,000 or
more, or you are applying for
a job paying $20,000 or more.
SHOPPING TIPS
I would like to know some
guidelines for smart shopping.
One good rule is: Never buy
anything that isn’t on sale, but
don’t buy something just
because it’s on sale either.
Even if it’s something you
really want, try to wait until it
is reduced. With inflation
being what it is, the sale price
will probably be what the item
is worth. If you trade at one
store regularly, try to make a
deal with a saleslady, so that
she will call you when she sees
what you want put on sale.
You can save about 15 per
cent if you buy a store’s
private brand. Many private
brands are made for stores by

Law is a kind of love.
What higher expression of man’s feeling for man
exists than that which seeks justice, compassion and
equality for all men?
Law shelters and protects. It must always listen.
Hold true. Remain calm and compassionate.
Law is sometimes restrictive because everyone s
ideals are hard to maintain. Limiting to an extent be
cause every freedom must have some limit.
Law represents the best thinking, the highest ideals
of man for mankind.
If it becomes outdated, each of us is to blame.
If it fails us, we’ve failed it.
Law insists’upon order and peace. But it beckons
change and improvement. Without law there would
be no constructive change. Or freedom. Or justice.
Or equality.
Without these there would be no love.
We re all brothers under the law. Woven together
by common conscience and need.
Law is a kind of love.
Channel change through law and reason.
