SUMMER OF UNCERTAINTY
With the football practice season almost upon us, there must
be some doubt on the part of some or all of the high school
coaches in Richmond County as to the make-up of the personnel
of their respective teams for the coming season. The recent edict
of Federal District Judge Lawrence regarding the composition of
Richmond County high schools for the 71-72 school year must
have the local coaches in a wait-and-see mood. Since the judge has
ordered that there be a larger percentage of black students in the
heretofore predominantly white schools and a larger percentage
of white students in the heretofore predominantly black schools,
no one knows which players they will have on their teams come
September.
With the school situation somewhat unclear now, the caliber of
high school football to be developed in the County this season
will be affected. In all probability personnel from one high school
team might have to be shifted to another high school team once
the new court-ordered school aligment is affected.

by Willis J. Walker. Jr.
in an innovative approach,
sixteen of the local
Neighborhood ■ Youth Corp
(N.Y.C.) Program Participants
are involved in health sciences
at ‘the. Medical College of
Georgia this summer. Working
together Arthur Stewart,
N.Y.C. Director, W.J. Walker,
Jr., Assistant Director for
Minority Student Affairs,
MCG, and Dr. T. Huisman,
Protein Chemistry Lab., MCG,
are attempting to give
participants in the N.Y.C.
Program who indicated an
interest in the Health Sciences
an opportunity to do a public
service, learn, and make
summer earnings also.
According to Walker, “eight of
the participants are working in
Dr. Huisman’s lab learning how
to do various technical
procedures in identifying sickle
cell anemia. Not only that,
they are also learning about
health care and its delivery.
The other eight are taking
classes along with our high
Ist NATIONAL from page 1
Bank &. Trust Company of
Augusta. First National is the
oldest national bank in
Augusta.
In 1969, First National
moved into its new main office
building —a modern
multi-storied edifice at the
corner of Eighth and Broad
Streets. From the original small
office on Broad, the First
National has thus grown to a
large main office and six
modern and conveniently
located branches.
The President of First
National during the bank’s
most prolific growth was James
B. Williams, now Chairman of
the Board.
Commenting on the
anniversary, Williams said; “We
see the growth of Augusta
reflected in the growth of our
bank. From our original capital
of less than $500,000 and staff
of four, we have grown to over
S6O million in resources with a
staff of 144. In 1871, we had
one location, and now seven.
This progress, we believe, was
caused in large part by the
tremendous progress of our
area, which we have tried to
parallel in our planning of new
locations and new services.”
Claude Booker, Jr., who was
elected president earlier this
year said, “Tuesday marks one
hundred years of service to
Augusta by First National, and
we have planned a great
celebration, complete with a
bank, free prizes, and
refreshments. We invite the
people of Augusta to come join
us in this joyous occasion.”
Ceremonies commencing the
100th year celebration will
begin at 8:45 Tuesday
morning, followed by a ribbon
cutting at 9:00 A.M.
school participants in our Pilot
Program, Health Science
Project for Afro-American
students. Classes consist of
biology, taught by Dr. Hayes
from Paine College, and
Chemistry, taught by Dr.
O’Neal from Augusta College.
They spend the remainder of
the day in the community
taking surveys concerning
sickle anemia and informing
people about Sickle Cell
Anemia and where they can get
tests.” He added, “Cooperation
on the part of the community
has been just great as attested
from the amount of surveys
turned in by these agressive
and interested students.” The

of his support to come from
older people who want to see a
“new day, Jones said, “many
people feel that a minister
should be totally separated
from politics. “Most people fail
to realize that in Roman 16 the
Apostle Paul states that
Christians should be involved in
government activities.
“Personally, I feel that
certain ministers have hindered
politics because they are
jealous or envious of the highly
trained minister who „is
knowledgeable and concerned
about the people. Ministers
fight you.”
Asked whether he expects to
get ministerial support, Jones
said, “I don’t know. It’s pretty
hard to say, but I’m soliciting
all support of all who Want a
motivated, dedicated,
determined City Councilman.”
Charles G. Harris, Jr. has
announced that, he, too, is
seriously considering running
for the second ward seat in
October.
