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. DAVIS’PLACE !

BEER & WINE AIKEN - AUGUSTA HIGHWAY ACROSS FROM KALMIA PLAZA 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. The Reverend L.R. Neal is pastor of Trinity C.M.E. Church. Committee, Community Employment Service, Richmond County Dept, of Family and Children Services, S.C.L.C., C.0.R.E., all Civic Organizations, Augusta Panthers, and private 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 £”"- \MODERN (®f® KITCHENS \ n ‘L M CUSTOM VLJUJdLy CABINETS X. / PRE FINISHED POST & ROLL TOP KITCHEN REMODELING ' “We finance at low bank rates” I 1740 Broad St. Ph. 733-3849 NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I B DON'T LET THE BIG WHEELS B B TURN YOU AROUND B B VOTE NO!!

YOU COULD HAVE REACHED THESE 20,000 READERS IN TH.S SPACE. 11” AD FOR JUST $22.00 "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.
