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.

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 —X i < 1229 D’ANIGNAC ST. ( YOUR ONE STOP BUILDING SUPPLY STORE SPECIAL FOR THIS WEEK Paneling - $2.99 Sheet Wall Paint - $2.99 Gal. WATCH THIS AD EACH WEEK FOR REAL SAVING 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.
