The Executive Director’s report for July by Raphael B. Levine,
Ph.D., to the Metropolitan Atlanta Council for Health (MAC
Health) is worth repeating here:
“In a recent editorial in Science magazine, Philip Abelson
commented on the fact that the public expects miracles of
medicine and science. ‘Today medical scientists and physicians
are particularly subject to pressures produced by unrealistic
demands from the public. Failure to produce miracles is taken as
proof of a refusal to be interested in meeting the public’s
desires... Physicians find that many patients have unrealistic ideas
of what doctors can do for them. Many people seem to think that
they can carelessly expend physical resources in any way they
wish and that the doctor can always cure them. Patients give no
cooperation in the matter of exercise, diet, or abstinence from
heavy smoking, and yet expect the doctor to make up for their
neglect. They want a drug to substitute for self-control and their
own efforts. That kind of miracle is not yet available, nor is it
likely to be... Scientists, engineers, and physicians... can foster an
improved climate... by persistently reminding the mass media and
the public of the many limitations of science, technology, and
medicine. We are neither witch doctors nor magicians.’
“This editorial struck a chord with me, since comprehensive
health planning is expected, by some, to solve all our problems.
Yet the best planners, the most knowledgeable committees, the
most dedicated Council can only do as much as the rest of the
public is willing to help in. This in no way relieves us of our
responsibility for opening up new avenues toward achieving the
community’s health objectives. But it does mean that we, too,
must communicate in terms that are meaningful to everyone in
the community. We must not promise more than we can deliver,
but we should never permit the impression that health planning is
less important or promising than it really is. We should not put up
with unrealistic expectations and demands, but we should never
say that a goal or objective is less realistic than it actually is. In
short, we must walk the tightrope that reasonable men are
walking in every portion of our national activities, and continue
working the best way we are capable of, and spare no efforts to
stimulate the rest of the community to join in, as partners for
health.”

speaks to it. What is wrong?
Preachers want to preach it and
people refuse to hear it. We do
not like to be reminded of oui
sins - it hurts.
As long as I am in Augusta
or anywhere else I will deliver
“The Word”. I will speak to
what issues 1 feel like God will
have me to speak to. I want to
keep young people in the
church. As long as there is
crookedness in Augusta,
somebody will have to deal
with me and with those who
support me. I do not give up -
Never!
“I’ll be as harsh as truth, as
uncompromising as justice, as
sturdy as an oak tree!
Look for me anywhere,
everywhere, anytime, any
place. If my bag is too strong,
then your rap is wrong. God
has called me to a marvelous
work, and I am happy in Jesus.
To those of you who
wonder, ask the Lord ...
Trace my heritage ... Talk to
those in “Soul’s Ville” ... Talk
to those who know me.
I love to shout about the
“over yonder and the by and
by ■ Hell! I am not dead yet. I
mostly speak to the “Here and
Now” I welcome
confrontation for I am not
ashamed of what I do. I am
equipped to walk where I want
to walk - I will walk. Wait and
see.

Former Supreme
Seeks $8.7 Million ®± 9 '
Will former member of the
Supremes Florence Ballard
Chapman’s suit to the tune of
$8.7 million to “rock”
Motown be a HIT or a MISS?
That question may be
answered by Wayne Circuit
Court Judge Benjamin D.
Burdick this month when he
will decide whether or not to
dismiss an $8,700,000 Mrs.
Chapman who charged that she
was fired from the famed
Supremes trio because of a
conspiracy among her partners
and managers.
Last week Judge Burdick
heard arguments calling for a
dismissal of the case by the
attorneys for Detroit’s Motown
Record Corp., International
Management Corp., two
original members of the
Supremes and two singers who
later joined the group.
They are being sued by Mrs.
Chapman, who contends that
early in 1967 there was a
conspiracy to eject her from
the singing trio.
In 1960, Mrs. Chapman
(then Florence Ballard) joined
the group. She left the trio in
1968 and now claims that a
release she signed with the
group should be declared void.
For consideration in signing
the release, Mrs. Chapman
received $160,000 and
forfeited all rights to any
subsequent incomes the
Supremes, .Motown or
International Managment
would earn.
Mrs. Chapman contends that
the release was illegal since she
was never told of the yearly
income made by the Supremes
and that Motown officers
conspired with other members
of the Supremes to oust her.
Others named as defendants
in the case are Diana Ross, and
Mary Wilson, original members
of the group; Berry Gordy Jr.,
president of Motown and
International Management,
Michael Rothkind, Motown
vice-president, and Ralph
Miss Louisa Mustin was named
to the Board of Advisors.

Thursday, 21 October in the

with Alan F. Guttmacher,
M.D., president of Planned
Parenthood/World Population
as speaker of the evening. Mrs.
C. Thomas Huggins will serve
as chairman of the reception
committee.
Father David C. Streett,
administrative director, was
named ■to attend the annual
convention of Planned
Parenthood at the Jack Tar
Hotel in San Francisco the
week of 24 October where he
will serve on the Religious
Affairs committee.

It took eight months to
negotiate.”
Miss Ballard’s lawyer, Gerald
K. Dent, argued that his client
has never known how much
money the Supremes made as a
group and still doesn’t.
Dent argued that the release
should be declared void
because the Supremes made
huge amounts of money and
the $16,000 Miss Ballard
received “is greatly
disproportionate to those
earnings.”
Barris said that if Miss
Ballard is unsatisfied with the
$160,000 release money she was
paid, she should sue the lawyer
who negotiated the release
with Motown.
Dent says another lawsuit
has been started against the
lawyer, Leonard A. Baunn
charging him with not
adequately representing Miss
Ballard’s interests.

a four-year, state-supported arts and sciences college
Augusta College’s first
graduate degree programs were
approved Tues, by the Board
of Regents of the University
System of Georgia.
The Master of Business
Administration (M.8.A.) and
the Master of Education
(M.Ed.) degree proposals were
given the go-ahead by members
of the Board at the October
meeting held in Atlanta.
The M.B.A. degree program
provides for concentrations in
Management and in Health
Services Administration and
will go into effect fall 1972
The M.Ed. degree program will
' have concentration in
Elementary Education and
Special Education and will
begin this summer.
Dr. George A. Christenberry,
AC president, said approval of
both programs enhances
significantly the college’s
opportunity to be of further
service to the Augusta Area
community.
Various surveys conducted
by the college to determine the
need for graduate study in the
CSRA have consistently
indicated a real demand for
graduate study -- particularly in
the fields of business and
teacher education, he said.
“Augusta College and the
University System of Georgia
are responding to a felt need
by offering these programs to
those residents of the CSRA
who have indicated their
sincere interest in pursuing
graduate work at the college,”
he said.
Dr. J. Eugene Pierce,
chairman of the Business
Administration Dept., said the
availability of a M.B.A.
program of the stature which
this one possesses will tend to
be an “important drawing
card” encouraging the location
of new firms in the Augusta
area.
“Further, as regularly
attested by local personnel
managers, the availability of
such management-science
-oriented offerings will greatly
improve their opportunity to
recruit outstanding technical
personnel for management
positions.”
Dr. Pierce anticipates
approximately 100 students to
enroll in the program next fall.
Education Department
Chairman Dr. James M. Dye
said that graduate teacher
education at AC is intended to
increase the knowledge and
experience of students who
have demonstrated the
competence and initiative
necessary to continue their
education beyond the
baccalaureate level.
A major objective is to
increase the competence of
teachers preparing for service
in elementary and secondary
schools.
Dr. Dye noted the
advantages of graduate teacher
education at AC in view of the
Georgia State Board of
Education’s 1969 adopted
policy which states that The
Career Professional Certificate
(DT-5) shall be the standard
Georgia certificate and shall be
issued on the completion of a
master’s degree and three years
of teaching experience.
“Every indication is that all
professional educators will be
seeking to further advance
teacher qualifications in the
years ahead with the net result
of a significant number of
teachers seeking the master’s
degree in order to attain the
career professional
certification.”
The chairman said he
expects “anywhere from 200
to 300 students” in the
graduate program this summer.
Mr. Richard L. James,
executive vice president of The
Chamber of Commerce of
Greater Augusta, heralded the
news as “fantastic.”
“1 feel the business and
education communities are
really going to be excited
about the programs and
support them 100 per cent.
Young businessmen and
teachers will now be able to go
ahead and get the master’s
degree without having to leave
the Augusta area,” he said.
In other Board action, a
