I will not soy that if you elect me County Commissioner,
that new industry will start coming to Griffin immediate
ly. I can only give my strong support and try to eliminate
the obstacles by having the proper attitude and the strong
desire.
Hundreds and hundreds of our people work in Atlanta
and vicinity to earn enough to live on. Except for being a
wonderful place to live, hardly anyone moves to Spalding
County, unless to fill a vacancy in a job because someone
else moves away. Each year, hundreds of our youth grad
uate from High School and either go to college or move
away seeking good employment. Others grow weary of
commuting and one by one, move closer to their place of
employment.
Without proper growth, property values go down and
then we have troubles. We could be faced with money
problems in our school system and all other phases of our
government. THIS we cannot let happen!! ! !

ABOUT IT! ! IT'S IMPORTANT! THANK YOU,

ing to live up in a hurry to the
raves of the long-time Ole Miss
coach.
The 19-year-old Rebel quarter
back made his varsity debut
Saturday night and today was
named Southeastern Conference
offense player of the week by
United Press International for
his role in Mississippi’s 21-7 vic
tory over Memphis State.
Shaky Start
Manning got off to a shaky
start, but then settled down to
play it like an old pro. The
6-foot-3, 180-pounder from the
little Delta town of Drew, Miss.,
threw two touchdown passes
and scored another touchdown
himself.
That kind of performance was
what it took to wind up ahead
of Kentucky’s Dicky Lyons,
Florida’s Larry Smith and Ala
bama’s George Ranager for the
weekly UPI honor.
Lyons, last year’s SEC scor
ing leader and now a senior
tailback for the Wildcats,
scored both Kentucky touch
downs in a 12-6 upset of Mis
souri.
Smith, regarded as the
South’s prime candidate for All-
America honors, started off his
senior season by rushing for
109 yards and two touchdowns
in the Gators’ tougher - than -
expected 23-20 victory over the
Air Force Academy.

Ranager, the 6-foot, 195-pound
sophomore from Meridian,
Miss., whom Bear Bryant is
counting on to succeed Dennis
Homan, caught two touchdown
passes in a two-minute span
Saturday night to pace Ala
bama to a 14-7 victory over Vir
ginia Tech. The second of those
TDs was a 65-yarder that at
tested both to Ranager’s catch
ing and broken-field running
abilities.
Vaught Excited
But Manning was the man
who attracted the most atten
tion. Put on the spot by Vaught,
who said he was looking for
ward to his 22nd season at Ole
Miss as he had few others in
recent years because of Ar
chie’s talents, he lived up to ex
pectations.
The Rebels trailed 7-0 at half
time against Memphis State,
which has won only one of 23
games with Ole Miss., looking
to repeat last year’s 27-17 upset.
Then Manning went to work.
He completed passes for 20 and
13 yards, the second for a touch
down, in a 44-yard scoring drive
and moments later put the Reb
els in front with a 10-yard
touchdown strike after a
26-yard rollout run of his own.
Then in the final period, a 14-
yard Manning pass put the Reb
els in scoring position again and
this time he carried over him
self by racing around end from
the two.
“Like I said before the season
began,” said Vaught excitedly
after the game, “I’m going to
enjoy coaching this year.”

Melton Named
Player Os Week
Quimby Melton, who made se
veral big plays for Griffin High
last Friday before he was knock
ed out of action with a shoulder
separation, today was named
Eagles’ Player Os The Week.
“Unfortunately, Quimby didn’t
play the entire game,” Coach
Max Dowis said this morning
“but he was outstanding while
he was in there.”
“Although he didn’t play the
whole game, his performance in
the first half was good enough
to earn him player of the week
honors,” the coach said.
“The loss of him sure hurt our
effort. We were playing a pretty
good game until he was injured,”
Coach Dowis said.
Melton suffered the shoulder
separation in the second quar
ter.

Prepares For

week’s opponent, Miami, Mon.
day afternoon.
First string linebacker John
Riggle will be out of action for
the rest of the year, Tech of
ficials said, because of a torn
ligament in the game Saturday,
in which Tech defeated Texas
Christian University 17-7.
Head coach Bud Carson told

going to have to work hard this
week to improve."
Bulldogs Work
In Shorts
And Pads
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — The
Georgia Bulldogs worked on
keeping the ball in a shorts
and-pads workout for two and
Vi hours.
Head coach Vince Dooley
noted Monday that Georgia lost
four fumbles in the first half in
the last appearance, which was
a 17-17 tie with Tennessee Sept.
14.
The Bulldogs also worked on
defensive and offensive plans
used by Clemson, which they
play Saturday here.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (UPl)—The
rumor mills ground to a halt
today with the announcement
that Bill Rigney was remaining
as field manager of the
California Angels and Dick
Walsh was the new general
manager of the club.
Rigney, 50, dean of American
League managers in unbroken
tenure, won his battle to receive
a multiyear contract by receiv
ing a two year pact at an
estimated $60,000 per year.
Walsh, a longtime baseball
man, took over as general
manager for the retiring Fred
Haney after having been
commissioner of the North
American Soccer League for the
past two years. Haney remains
in an advisory capacity after
his contract expires Jan. 1 as
general manager.
Rigney’s future was the
subject of a great guessing
game for months with reports
he might return to the San
Francisco Giants, the club he
managed for six years, or go to
one of the expansion clubs or
the Chicago White Sox.
Throughout the period of
conjecture, Rigney maintained
his silence but he was known to
have been interested in obtain
ing a contract for more than
one season. As the only
manager the Angels have had
since the club was formed in
1961, the one time he had a two
year contract was after the 1962
season when the team surprised
the baseball world by finishing
third. That year Rigney was
named American League mana
ger of the year.
