Griffin has many splendid
unJay School teachers but on
Sunday morning there will be
a teacher in Griffin who in
Good Evening’s opinion will be
tlie test teacher that has
taugh a lesson in many a year.
For “Uncle Heinie” Henike,
92-year-old instructor at Geor
gia-Tech who is one of the
most brilliant students of the
Bible in the nation, will teach
the Men's Bible Class at the
First Methodist Church.—
"Uncle Heinie" is known and
beloved by thousands of men
who attended Georgia Tech.
For years he has been an in
st rue tor in the woodworking
shops at that institution.
Dr. W R. Gilbert, who is
president of the Men's Bible
Class, has issued a special in
vitation to all men who ever
attended Georgia Tech to at- ‘
tend Sunday School and hear
"Uncle Heinie.’’
Last Tuesday “Uncle Heinie”
was 92 years old and he was
flooded with letters and tele
fTams of congratulation from
"his toys, He was also
swamped with invitations to
spend next Sunday in various
communities
But this aged gentleman, who
frequently visits in Griffin, ac
cepted the invitation to come
here.
It should be a great day at
the Men's Bible Class of the
First Methodist Church Sun
day.
ahon, working with other medi
tal organizations, is making a
nationwide effort to recruit 45 ,
000 student nurses this fall The
need for nurses has become a
cute and many hospitals are
badly understaffed.
There is no finer career than
nursing. Not only does it offer
good pay but there are many
other advantages—such as be
ing of real help to one’s fellow
man.
High school graduates be
tween 17 and 35 are eligible for
enrollment as student nurses
There are many young women
in Griffin and there will be
many in the graduating classes
of the two high schools next
spring who could make no finer
decision than to enroll as stu
dent futrses.

Stephens Scores
On Las) Kay
By QUIMBY MELTON, JR.
Spalding High’s Woifpack and
the Spalding High Alumni were
tied 13 to 13 on Lie last play of the
game. The Alumni had the ball
deep in their own territory and
faded back for a long pass in ’ a
desperate attempt to score and
break the tie.
The attempt cost the Alumni the
game because Tommy Stephens,
Woifpack fullback, intercepted on
the Alumni and ran for a touch
down. The punt for extra point
was blocked and the score was
Spalding High 19, Spalding Alum
ni 13.

The game Friday night was
Homecoming game, but rain and
cold marred the occasion. A few
hundred faithful students, alumni
ar.d fans huddled under blankets
and sat in cars around the field
as rain drizzled down and
ed spirits.
The band parade at the half
rained out and so was the crown
ing of the Football Queen, Virginia
Conkle. In the afternoon a parade
of the band, cheerleaders, the Foot
ball Queen and four attendants on
a flqat marched through Griffin.
More fans saw the parade than the
game.
But the Wollpack was well pleas
ed with the affair. They had come'
from iehand 13-0 to win.
Claude Donehoo, who starred for
the Woifpack last year, starred for
the Alumni this year. He scored
both of the Alumni touchdowns,
one in the first quarter and one in
the second.
The first score came early In the
game.
Donehoo took a 'neat handoff on
f he Spalding 25 and ran 17 yeards
o the Spalding eight. Donehoo
picked up one on a line play and
two more on another line play.
Bobby Jones, who played a whale
if a game for the Alumni, took
to the Spalding one and
carried it over.
Johnny Watkins, whose kickoffs
end punts went tremendously long
distances kicked the extra point
ind the score was Spalding Alumni
Spalding High 0.
It looked like the Alumni, using
two complete teams which used dif
ferent attacks, would win easily,
And it kept looking that way until
the second half.
In the second quarter Donehoo
took a Spalding High punt on his
■wn 25 and ran 75 yars for a touch,
lown. The kick for efctra point was
m good and the score was
1 3, Spalding 0.
In the third quarter a drive J
sparked by Jack Crawford and
Stephens took Spalding to the A
'nmnl 6 but bogged down and the
ball went to the Alumni on downs.
The Alumni funbled on the Wolf-j first

College Park
In Heavy Rain
BY HOWARD WAALACE
Griffin High's Gold Wave liter
ally submerged the College Park
Rams in the rain and mud Friday
night to the tune of 27 to 0 but
conference victory was a costly one.
Co-captain Earl Rowe, dislocated
-his shoulder and Quarterback Jack
Langford, suffered a broken collar
bone and definitely will be out the
remainder of the season.
Coach Jim Cavan expects to make
several changes in the lineup of
his team to compensate for the two
losses in order to be at best pos
sible strength against R. E. Lee and
possible post-season playoffs.
Only light rain fell during the
first half of the game, and Griffin
score d ^0 °f Sts 27 points then. The
final score came in the third pe
riod with a consi stant downpour
hampering the offensive operations
of both teams Earl Rowe scored
three touchdowns, probably his last

for the extra point three times.

ELLIS ARNALL
—An Editorial—
South's Democrats
Are Seeing Shore
A poll by Peter Edson of 1,500 government officials and newspaper
editors in every section of the nation shows that Ellis Arnall of
Georgia is favored by a substantial number of them as the Demo
cratic vice presidential nominee In the next election.
The poll Included this newspaper and it was delighted to nomi
I nate Governor Arnall. He Is a man of national stature and would
serve his nation well, as he has served his state well
j The importance of the vice presidential position was shown
j vividly when President Roosevelt died. No finer man in the nation
than Ellis Arnall could be found to lead the Democratic party In a
campaign whose success- is doubtiuL- -
He would bring votes to the party that no other man could bring.
But aside from that—and the really Important thing—the nation
needs his wisdom, youth and ability.
These are times when America and the world need leaders whose
talents are far above the reaches of mere politics. Ellis Arnall is
such a man.
Georgians know of his abilities, his fearlessness, his brilliant
mind. They need not be reminded.
The nation at large, It seems, knows of them and chances are
excellent that Governor Arnall will be running with President
Truman.
The Georgians who knew him need not be sold upon his candi
I dacy.
i A word to the more politically minded Northern and Eastern Dem
ocrats mieht be wise, however.
.ere has been an increasing trend in the South of late to estab
l! astrong second party. Many old-line Southern Democrats
have" 1 become increasingly fatigued with the yoke they have hewn
for themselves by constantly voting Democratic, Such a record
naturally has caused the South to receive only the scraps from the
Eastern and Northern Democratic political tables.
For a time the scraps were enough, but even a dog eventually
craves red meat. The South, as faithful to the political masters as
any dog to his human master, has tired of the slim political menu.
Only Ellis Arnall could bring the South back into the political line
that It has filled for years.
The South, dear Yankee bretheren, wants to vote Democratic.
It loves the party of its fathers which pulled it out of desolation ■
In the bitter days of reconstruction.
But the South, like a long faithful but ignored wife, has begun to
flirt with other parties.
Ellis Arnall’s nomination as vice president would serve as a nice
chunk of T-bone steak from the political platter after so many
years of starvation from the political table and an occasional crumb
'from the political garbage can.
The Griffin Daily News takes great pleasure In nominating Gov
ernor Ellis Arnall as candidate for Vice President of the United
States on the Democratic ticket.
The shore is seen rather clearly now. not as dimly as in the past.

Britain's Stand
May Delay Partition
In The Holy Land
The Fight For Peace
NEW YOP.K —(A*)— The possibi
lity arose today that the pro
posed partition of Palestine Into
sovereign Arab and Jewish coun
tries might be delayed until Oct. 1,
ii'48.
This situation was created as a
result of Britain's declaration that
British troops could not be with
drawn from the Holy Land before
Aug. 1.
Under a U. S. Soviet compromise
plan for enforcement of partition,
tire British would terminate their
mandate over Palestine by May 1
and independence of the Arab and
Jewish countries would become ef
lective July 1.
But in view of Britain’s announ
ced withdrawal deadline, members
ol a four-power United Nations
working group, including the U
nlted States and Russia, suggested
(uat the dates for termination of
tlie mandate and independence may
have to be changed.
The working group, composed of
American, Russian, Canadian and
Guatemalan representatives sched
u.ed a session at Lake Success
‘ may to consider change in the
a 1
dates and ‘0 iron out minor points
