C&S To

Playgrounds
Randy Cannon, a
management associate at the
C&S Bank is in charge of the
Spring Swing to Playgrounds
that is already in progress.
According to Cannon; “The
C&S Community Development
Corp, this year has moved from
Spring Cleaning Projects to
Recreational Projects and
problems. The new program
has been named “Spring Swing
to Playgrounds.” Working with
the Augusta Recreation and
Engineering Departments the
bank has financed 10 of these
parks in the city so far. These
parks are located in parts of
the city where there is no
playground equipment now.
Four of the parks were finished
during the week of May 7,
1971. The other six will be
completed in two weeks. The
finished parks are located at
D’Antignac and 10th Street,
Taylor and King Street, the
large vacant lot beside the
Shilo Orphanage on 15th
Street, and at the West End
Center on west Walker Street.
When asked why the Swing
to Playgrounds, Cannon stated,
“We at C&S feel that
Community Development is a
vital part of the Bank’s
committment to the area it
serves. This year we will
up-grade or build new parks in
over 30 cities in Georgia; the
number of parks will be
somewhere around four
hundred.
Cannon also said that there
are Spring Swing to Playground
Car bumper stickers available,
that the stickers are plastic and
will come off with just plain
soap and water. Bumper
stickers can be picked up at
930 Gwinnett Street.

PRIDE?
May 11, marked the
anniversary of the Augusta
riot. Last year this time, all
types of disturbances marched
over this city. Many
disturbances marched through
the country. This riot had a
great disturbing affect on
minority, undereducated,
outcast, uneducated, poor,
down-graded communities.
This day shows what can
happen to a city, when
violence arises and people are
depressed.
This day is also a reminder
to our city, which seems to
withold getting together. It was
on this day that many of us
experienced the sadness which
many others are experiencing,
now in many other cities,
states, countries, homes and
nations.
This day is not to be
celebrated but to be
remembered in mourning for
those who lost their lives as
well as those who lost their
loved ones.
This day should be always
remembered in memorium of a
lost city.
This day should be
remembered as an inspiration
itch to the Augusta
N.A.A.C.P., Augusta College
Black Student Union, Augusta
College Student Mobilization
Conference, both State and
National.
She also serves as Dean of
the Sunday School and
Missionary Congress, a
statewide program held every
summmer at Morris Brown
College. She is the Director of
Religious Education of the
East Atlanta District of the
Atlanta-North Georgia Annual
Conference. She also served as
a visiting consultant to the
Augusta, Georgia Sunday
School and Missionary
congress.
Mrs. Evans has received
many honors and citations:
among them she was named
Woman of the Year in
Religion, 1970; given the title
of Lay-Preacher, the honor was
bestowed by Bishop E.
Hickman, Sixth Episcopal
District of Georgia.
Mrs. Evans is the wife of Mr.
John Evans.

organizations.
This day will always be
remembered by the S.O.U.L.
P.O.W.E.R. Organization, and
other minority outcast
members of society. It seems
that this day was the only day
we could have gotten over, but
we didn’t, not because we
believe in violence but because
we don’t believe in crawling.
We are part of the
community also; we were there
May 11, 1970. We were here
May 11, 1971. How long does
society want us to crawl?
We ask everyone to get
together in rememberance of
those who lost their lives last
May; Also, for those who lost
their lives last May and are still
physically living this May.
May 11, should not be
remembered for last year’s riot,
but for next year’s riot. Too
much pride? S.O.U.L.
P.O.W.E.R.’s pride is knowing
Society downs us, but having
enough courage to keep on
pushing. Ehat is your pride?
May 11,1970?
CAMPAIGN!!!!!!
We know Society downs the
minority, poor, underrated,
uneducated, outcasted,
under-priviledged, ex-convict,
defiled Black community. But
is there anything wrong with us
getting together and trying to
help each other. If we don’t,
who will?
We don’t want recognition;
we just want help, we want
those that are already
recognized to help us help each

"We’re All Together”
by John Warren
Togetherness was the main
theme of Bill Russell’s speech
to a fairly small audience at
Augusta College Tuesday night.
Speaking to less than 200
people, Mr. Russell stressed the
need to be sensitive to other
people: “What you do affects
me, and what I do affects you;
we’re all in this thing
together.”
The major portion of his
message centered around the
human rights struggle. Mr.
Russell pointed out many of
the discrepancies and injustices
of American society and urged
his audience to consider them. ’
In dealing with the welfare
system, he said that welfare
and federal subsidies were the
same thing. As an example to
show the injustices of the
system, he cited a prominent
citizen and farmer who has
paid $15,000 a month for not
planting crops, and who
complained about the poor
welfare recipient who received
$8 a month for food.
In giving advice to youth,
Bill Russell urged two things:
think and participate.“To
think without participating is
foolish, and to participate
without thinking is deadly.
You need both.” He urged
young folks to get involved in
solving the problems of this
country and stressed two
priorities. “With all the wealth
of this country,” he said, “no
one should ever be hungry, and
everyone should be able to get
as much education as he car
handle - free”.
After his lecture, Mr. Russell
opened the floor to questions
and spent most of that time
talking about basketball. He
listed Wilt Chamberlain, Lew J
Alcindor, and himself as the ’
greatest centers and Oscar
Robertson as the greatest
guard.
Bill Russell is now producing
his own syndicated T.V. show:
“Bill Russell in Washington”,
which will be a talk show,
mostly for politicians. “The
show will not only be
enteratining, but will give
people something to think
about”, he said. Mr. Russell
says it will be a success with
the same driving enthusiasm
that helped him to lead the
Boston Celtics to eleven of
thirteen N.B.A. championships.
