Appointment clinics are conducted so that patients will not
have long waiting periods to receive health care.
There is one permanent outlying center in Balforth which
provides limited dental services and general nursing services. The
others are temporary and are located in urban areas on a regular
schedule. There is a mobile X-Ray Unit and a Glover Mobile
Family Planning Unit. Services in the outlying clinics and in the
department, itself, are provided on an equal basis and there is no
racial separation, according to hospital officials.
Local health officials are working on a comprehensive mental
health program with federal and local funding. They are also
working with Mr.Heckman at the Employment Security to
establish a training program for hardcore individuals for
paraprofessional jobs.
University Hospital
University Hospital is operated as a community hospital under
the auspices of the Richmond County Hospital Authority. The
Authority is a nine-member body with two ex-officio members.
There is one black person on the Authority. According to
University Hospital officials, there are approximately 1,200
persons on staff and approximately one-half are black. However,
there are only a few blacks in upper level and supervisory
positions. The breakdown of the staff of this hospital is cited
below, but it does not reflect the number of black Augustaus m
the various categories. The audit team was unable to obtain the
breakdown by race.

The majority of the patients served by these clinics are black.
One must consider two major factors here, however. First, these
clinics’ hours are during the normal working day. Secondly, the
majority of black Augustans are hourly wage earners. Therefore,
one must assume that the clinics are not operated for the benefit
of the sick.
There are approximately twenty physicians in the clinics daily.
There are four registered nurses, two licensed practical nurses,
five nursing assistants, one dental assistant, two unit secretaries,
and nine clerical workers. Service is provided on a sliding scale
basis. If a patient is unable to purchase medicines, they are
provided and other patients are charged a reduced rate.
Dick Gregory Dedicated
To Human Rights
by John Warren
Dick Gregory praised
today’s youth as the most
morally dedicated and
committed generation ever.
Speaking to a less than
overflowing crowd at the
Augusta College Fine Arts
Center, he covered key issues
of the human rights struggle.
Mr. Gregory spent a good part
of his lecture exposing the
violence of American society
and the injustices and
inconsistencies that poor and
minority people have to deal
with. Some of his most
powerful critiques were against
the American economic system
which puts money, referred to
as “little green Jesus”, before
the lives of human beings.
Among the inconsistencies
of the American system that
this powerful social critic dealt
with involved the “freedom”
rhetoric of this country which
keeps Indians imprisoned on
reservations, and the hunger of
poor migrant workers who
starve while picking the food
that America eats.
Dick Gregory has a knack of
making people see the truth
through his sharp humor. But
Hyde-Park
PreSchoolefs
go to
Headstart
According to Mrs. Mary
Utley, Director of the Hyde
Park Project, 2024 Goldenrod
Road, five of the children of
the center’s pre-school class
will be attending Headstart this
summer.
Mrs. Utley explained that
the instructors, Mrs. Katie
Williams, Mrs. Irene Sapp, and
Miss Aggie Harden, have done a
wonderful job in preparing the
316 to 5 year olds for
Headstart. The classes at the
project average some thirty-five
children daily. The entire
project is in its fourth year of
operation.
In that time span, the
project has been responsible
for water and sewage,
rebuilding old homes, a day
care center, refuge for the
needy, and are at present ,
searching for a building to I
house a food-buying-club.
certainly no one laughed when
he revealed his own dedication
to non-violence and an end to
war. A vegetarian for moral
reasons (“thou shalt not kill”),
Mr. Gregory has sworn not to
take any solid food until the
war is over. This pledge he
made on April 24th at a peace
rally in San Francisco.
The greatest repose of the
night came with Mr. Gregory’s
comments on consolidation.
“Black folks are told to behave
and respect the system, and
they do just that, and learn
how the system works. Then
they become 53% of the
population and are about to
make that system work for
them, like it’s supposed to, and
‘the man’ comes along with
‘consolidation’ to dilute that
Black voting power. Black
folks are tired of these insults...
Let all human beings
concerned about human life
unite and say together ‘No
more lies!’ peace.

Miss Grant
To Study
In France
Rn
rnyrtis Gtant, a sophomore
at Paine College will spend her
junior year in France studying
at L’ecole I’Alliance Francaise,
in Paris.
Miss Grant will be part of a
group of students selected for a
program selected and
sponsored by Alma College,
Alma Michigan. The program is
specifically designed for
American undergraduates in
their junior year.
Phyllis has maintained an
“A” average in French during
her first two years at Paine.
Mallory Millender, Phyllis’
French instructor and advisor
to the French Club, said, “The
French Club has worked very
hard over the past two years to
raise money to send students
to France. We are all very
happy for Phyllis. I’m sure
she’ll do very well.”
The French Club gave Miss
Grant two hundred dollars to
pay initial expenses.
Phyllis is the daughter of
Mrs. Eva Grant of Thomson,
Georgia.
TAX SHELTER

The meeting opened with
Joe Carr introducing retired
Army Officer T.F. Wheeler
who asked for discussion,
stating that he was for the
charter but that discussion on
both sides might prove
wholesome for all concerned.
However, the second member
of the panel, Mr. Bob Lowe

drew criticism when he
mentioned unification would
bring new business to the
entire community.
Mr. James Bogan a resident
of South Nelliville asked,
“How can the consolidation of
city and county help us to pay
less taxes when big industry
brought in does not pay taxes
at all?” Bogan stated that
Continental Can Company did
not pay taxes at all during the
year of 1970.
The red hot debate between
Lowe and Bogan over the issue
was cooled down by County
Treasurer Moye Daniels when
he cited figures that showed
that the Can Company did
indeed pay taxes in 1970, but
under protest. “In 1969
Continental Can paid
$225,000.00 in taxes to the
County. Now if they pay taxes
at the rate personal property
owners pay that figure would
be increased to almost
1,500,000.00. The company
was taken to court and made
to pay in the following year up
to $410,000.00. This was paid
but it was under protest.”
City attorney Bob Daniels,
representing the “Save Our
Rights Committee” said in
opposition to the charter, “If
the charter is passed on May
25 th, sooner or later your
taxes will increase. Under this
proposed charter they can
come and pave the street you
live on, or they can add
curbing whether you want it or
not, and the homeowner will
bear the burden of increased
taxation. If the homeowner
does not pay the tax, there is
the possibility of a lien being
served and the owners home
being put up for public sale.
(sec.-205-5).”
Daniels also stated, “Big
industry and business should
pay their share of the tax load.
I can take you to the tax
assessor and show you some
big industries on their arrival in
this county got a (5) year tax
shelter.” Henry Brooks
President of the Citizens Voter
League, 123-4, and Joe Carr
Chairman of the fourth (4)
district presided over the
meeting.
