Over Half Of All
Who Ever Lived
Here In Griffin
Live Here Now
Demographers are people who deal with population
figures.
The other day we learned that they have figured that
one-fourth of the people who ever lived on earth are now
alive. That is almost beyond comprehension. On* of every
four people who lived sine* the beginning of time are alive
right now!
How about Griffin? We studied the matter and con'
eluded that over half the people who have lived in Griffin
since its founding in 1840 live here now.
This is so astounding that we had to think about it
awhile. Here it is again: Over half the people who ever
lived in Griffin live here now!
We added the census figures for all the years since
Griffin’s birth in 1840 through its first 100 years which
included the census of 1940. The total was 62,837. We
compared this with the city directory census of 1966
which was 32,438. (If there is some nit picker who says all
the people alive between 1940 and right now are not alive ;
right now, we won’t argue. Obviously, that is correct and
we don’t like to argue, anyhow. But the last census doesn’t
include all the people in Griffin right now, either. Nor are
all the people here in 1940 dead or moved away. These
factors probably cancel each other out. At any rate, the
conclusion is amazing. Even allowing for leeway, 40 to
more than 60 percent of all the people who ever lived in
Griffin live here now.)
The population explosion plus the normal attraction
to Griffin of people from other places accounts for most
of this city’s problems as well as most of its opportunities.
Streets crowded with traffic on the weekends? Down
town streets were built for horse and buggy traffic in
what today would be a small Georgia town. When they
were planned more than a century and a quarter ago, these
streets were boulevards. Parking space shortage? Not too
far back yonder, they tied their horses and mules to wag
ons parked in lots behind stores and at various places
about town. Need more fire stations? There are more
buildings to bum up (or down, depending upon prefer
ence in use of the two words.) Schools crowded? We have
more children. Churches too big to know all the members
of the congregation? More people are here to attend
church and do.
Thus it goes. Furthermore, there is every reason to ex
pect Griffin’s population to continue to climb as this dyna
mic region grows faster and faster. We live today at the
threshold of a huge metropolis. Today, we live in what
yesterday would have been one of Georgia’s larger cities.
Tomorrow we will live in a still larger one. As always, this
will offer great opportunities while posing great problems.
As for the Griffin Daily News, we liked Griffin as it was.
We like it at it is. And we are sure that w* will like it as it
will be.

Sanders
Vs. Talmadge
POLITICS ON PARADE, By Sid William.
For some reason, there was a lot of discussion aroun<|
the Capitol last week on the posiibility of Carl Sanders
running against Senator Herman Talmadge in 1968. We
haven’t talked about this to either of these two men, but
we would make a small wager that Sanders hat no such
thoughts in mind. Almost certain to be re-elected governor
in 1970, Carl is not likely to jeopardise hit political future
by running against the strongest man in Georgia politics.
It would be much better to serve again as Chief Executive
and be in a commanding position to step into Senator
Russell’s shoes when the senior senator retires.

With Ye Editor
MY
ANSWER, by y
Chosen People
Will you please explain the
meaning of “God’s chosen peo
ple.” D.B.
When we speak of the child
ren of Israel as "God's chosen
people”, we mean that they were
selected, not as a superior race,
but as a people through which
God found it possible to bear
His Word and message to the
world. Mary, a daughter of Is
rael, was chosen as the mother
of our Lord, not on the basis of
race alone, but because she
found it in her heart to respond
to God’a call to be the mother
of the Savior of the world.
After Christ, men everywhere
began to believe the Gospel.
Paul said: “There is no differ
ence”, and Peter said on the
day of Pentecost: “For the pro
mise is unto you, and to your
children and unto all that are
afar off."
God's love and blessing go be
yond race and embrace every
son of Adam, Jew or Gentile.
Now the good news Is: “Whoso
ever will may come.”
