News—Review - April 22,1971 - 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.

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.

Martin, President, Eastern Kentucky University; John A. Peoples, President, Jackson State College; Albert N. Whiting, President, North Carolina University at Durham.

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 i LSJ l aMHHBLA >' wkiJ Ur I I l 4/-- toy. 11 JW Em/ I;/ J U| I 3j| eoewJ 'V_A Wl IMO J/T 1/ ■) flf J%■ / I \ \ HI ® d I \ J V H]/ /y I / il /\ I r 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. ■■VV WW if IB Iggy!?.' | ' * * ■ • CAN YOU NAME THIS BEAUTY?
