Dr. Gomillion is perhaps
most well known nationally for
his significant contributions in
the field of civil rights.

right to vote and the full
privileges of citizenship for
Blacks were achieved in
Tuskegee and Macon County
sooner than any other region
of the deep south.
A dedicated worker for his
alma mater, Dr. Gomillion
travels to Augusta several times
a year to attend to the
operating affairs of Paine
College.

Richardson, Acting President
of Paine College. The grant of
$1,500 awarded for the
1970-71 academic year is the
second awarded to Paine
College by Texaco.

Never Swim Alone
As temperatures rise and
Americans begin flocking to
beaches, pools, and water-ways
to cool off and enjoy the
water, the American Red Cross
cautioned swimmers that
almost 50 per cent of early
summer drownings are caused
by overexertion - trying to do
too much too soon - after a
winter of inactivity.
“So take it easy the first few
times out,” suggests John
Davis, Water Safety Chairman,
Augusta Chapter. “Don’t court
disaster by overtaxing yourself
before you have become
conditioned to vigorous
exercise in the water. Many of
last year’s more than 7,000
drownings occurred in the
early weeks of the season.”
Swimming by yourself is
another dangerous practice,
says Davis. “Never swim
alone,” he stressed. “Swim in
supervised areas and even then
with a companion who has the
capability to assist if
necessary.”
Cramps are another
swimming peril. Cramping in
the fingers, toes, arms or legs is
often caused by fatigue and
overexertion. Such cramps are
of little danger to the swimmer
unless they cause him to panic.
Relief is gained by stretching
° muscles. Sometimes this
can done simply by
changing u vimming stroke
and relaxing, 11 doesn’t
work, try rubbing or Kuv.
the cramping muscles, adviseu
the Red Cross.
In any swimming
emergency, Mr. Davis
recommends, “Don’t panic,
think calmly of the best
corrective action and conserve
your strength and energy.”
For persons who cannot
swim or are novices, the safety
Appleby Features Artists
Steven J. Anderson, pianist
and Robert Chesebro,
clarinetist, will be featured on
Tuesday, June 29 in the second
concert of the current Evenings
in the Appleby Branch series.
This series of cultural events is
provided free to the public by
the Augusta-Richmond County
Public Library through a
perpetual grant from the
Appleby Trust Fund.
Mr. Chesebro and Mr.
Anderson will play Sonata for
Clarinet and Piano by
Saint-Saens, Four Pieces for
Clarinet and Piano by Alban
Berg; and Fantasy Pieces by
Robert Schumann. Also, as
piano soloist Mr. Anderson will
play Funerailles by Liszt;
Mazurka in C minor by
Chopin; and The Banjo by
Gottschalk.
Steven J. Anderson joined
the faculty of Furman
University as instructor in
music in 1968. A native of
Plainfield, New Jersey,
Anderson is a graduate of
Oberlin Conservatory, holds
the M.M. from Syracuse
University, has done graduate
study at Peabody School of
Music, and is working toward
the D.M.A. degree at Florida
State University. He has taught
at Rathbun Conservatory of
Music in Plainfield, New
Jersey, and held teaching
scholarships and assistantships
at Syracuse and Florida State.
Anderson is a member of the
Greenville Symphony and has
presented numerous chamber
music recitals, including an
appearance last year at the
Augusta-Richmond County
Public Library’s Winter
Evening with the Arts series. In
1972 he will present piano
concerts in Germany.
Robert C. Chesebro received
the B.S. degree from Wisconsin
State University and both the
M.A. and D.M. degrees from
Indiana University. He joined
the Furman faculty in 1965
and is principal oboist and
clarinetist with the Greenville
Symphony and has appeared
with the Charlotte, Asheville,
director advises attendance at a
local Red Cross Swimming
Class. Most Red Cross chapters
throughout the country
conduct some kind of
swimming instruction. “By
learning to swim proficiently,”
said Mr. Davis, “you’ll get
much more fun out of- the
water and lessen your chances
of becoming a water fatality.”
A few more hints for
swimmers recommended by
the Red Cross are:
1. Don’t substitute floating
devices for swimming ability.
2. Don’t dive into
unknown water or shallow
breaking waves.
3. Maintain close
supervision of children at all
times.
4. Don’t swim close to
piers, pilings, diving boards and
platforms.
5. Know how to administer
artificial respiration and learn

would like to have it, but I
keep feeling there is something
funny about it. Should I send
the money?
Find out more before you
do anything. The offer is very
likely a variation of the
“Death Vulture Confidence
Game,” one of the most
vicious tricks in the book. In
this con game, the swindler
picks his victim by reading the
obituary page, or in your case
military casualty lists. A short
time later, he approaches a
surviving relative, and says
that the deceased had ordered
a product prior to his death,
but not paid for it. Many
people, understandably
desiring a “last gift” from a
loved one, hand over the
money without question. Os
course the deceased had not
really oruered anything, and
the con man vanishes with the
money.
As in your case, they
sometimes “sweeten the pot”
by saying part of the money
has been paid, or that you will
get a special discount because
of the tragedy.

SIDING GYP
A salesman told us that his
company wants to use our
house to display their brand of
aluminum siding. He said that
if we let them put the siding
on the house, they would pay
us $50.00 everytime they
brought a new customer to
look at it. It sounds like a
good deal. Should we take it?
It does sound good;
probably too good to be true.
Georgia Consumer Services
case files show a number of
cases in which the people who
accepted such an offer wound
up having to pay around
SI2OO for the siding, as the
salesman never showed up
with any other customers.
In many cases, the people
were told they had to sign a
sales contract, “just as a
formality,” but the
commissions they received
would actually cover the costs
of the siding. Since the
salesman brought no new
customers to see the house,
they were stuck with paying
the bill, because their name
Page 3
was on the contract.
Always read the fine print
of any contract, and if the
salesman says something
different, believe what’s in
writing.
Also, remember that under
the U.S. Truth-in-Lending
Law, you have three days to
cancel a contract if you have
put your home up as security,
and under the Georgia Home
Solicitation Sales Act, you
have 24 hours to cancel a
contract from a door-to-door
salesman. Come July 1, 1971,
this period will be increased to
three days also. Always cancel
a contract by registered letter
clearly postmarked before the
end of the grace period.
