ATLANTA (UPI) - Federal
figures show the state of
Georgia lost 8,300 non-farm jobs
during the 12-month period
ending in September, and a
state Labor Department spokes
man blames the loss on a lack
of effort to recruit new
Ancient Canal
Ancient Egyptians first
dug a canal in the Isthmus of
Suez about 4,000 years ago; it
linked the Nile with the Bit
ter Lakes in the Isthmus and
the Red Sea. Called the
“Canal of the Pharaohs,’’ it
served Egypt’s rulers for
more than 1,000 years.

industry.
The figures, reported by the
U.S. Labor Department Wed
nesday, showed that while
Georgia lost jobs, the other
seven Southeastern states
gained between 5,200 and 40,600
new jobs.
The total non-agricultural
employment gain in those
states was 140,500, according to
the report.
State Labor Department
spokesman Bill Robinson said,
“The basic problem is that for
the past four or x:ve years
there has been no concerted
effort to land any new industries
in Georgia.
He cited “very aggressive”
efforts by South Carolina
business and government lea
ders.
South Carolina gained 40,600
new non-farm jobs for the year
ending in September, the
federal figures show.
The report also lists figures
for selected metropolitan areas,
including Atlanta, Augusta and
Savannah, which showed a
decline in jobs, and Macon and
Columbus, which had slig! i
increases.
Swilley family coming

Holley
is not
in race
ATLANTA (UPI) - State
Sen. Eugene Holley of Augusta
has announced he will withdraw
as a candidate for majority
leader because he thinks it
would be improper for him to
hold two powerful positions in
the new Senate.
Holley said he is not seeking
reelection to the post because
he felt it was necessary that he
relinquish either that spot or
his chairmanship of the Bank
ing and Finance Committee.
He said his withdrawal was
made in view of a proposal by
Lt. Gov.-elect Zell Miller that
the number of Senate commit
tees be reduced from 25 to 18.
“In view of the proposed
reduction in the number of
chairmanships, it seems fair
that these two very important
positions should not be held by
any one senator,” Holley said
Monday.
“Os these two positions, I
prefer to be chairman of
banking and finance, and will
be seeking to continue as
chairman of that committee,”
said Holley, who has held that
post for the past six years.
Holley said he agreed with
Miller’s proposed changes.
Miller said the senator’s
withdrawal “exemplifies the
spirit of harmony that I have
hoped would prevail in the
Senate. I commend him for it.”
Knight,
Ridder
merge
MIAMI (UPI) - Knight
Newspapers Inc., and Ridder
Publications, Inc., are merging
into a single organization with
the largest combined newspa
per circulation in the United
States.
Knightrßidder Newspapers
Inc., will have an aggregate
seven-day circulation of 26.9
million —more than any other
newspaper group in the nation.
The merger was approved by
stockholders of both companies
and was announced jointly in
Miami and New York Wednes
day by Lee Hills, chairman and
chief executive officer of
Knight, and Bernard H. Ridder
Jr., president and chief officer
of Ridder.
They said the new company
expects revenues of over $550
million this year.
“We will continue to have the
same abiding desire to be both
good newspapermen and good
businessmen,” Hills said. “We
have long held the view that
quality and profits go hand in
hand.”
Hills was named chairman
and chief executive officer;
Ridder will be vice chairman
and chairman of the operating
committee; and Knight presi
dent Alvah H. Chapman Jr. will
serve as president of Knight-
Ridder. The board of directors
will consist of 10 directors from
Knight and five from Ridder.
Hills and Ridder both said
“combined management
strengths and financial re
sources will result in Knight-
Ridder becoming a stronger
company than the separate
entities.
But they both stressed that
individual newspapers in the
Miami-based company would
retain control of editorial and
business matters.

Turkey down
By United Press International
Turkey and all the trimmings for a family of four will
cost 68 cents less this year than it did in 1973.
That’s the result of a survey of food prices in 14
geographically representatives cities around the country.
UPI checked supermarket prices on eight Thanksgiving
dinner items and found they added up to an average of
$8.76 this year, down from $9.44 last year.
The 10-pound turkey was the big —and only —money
saver. The average price of a 10-pound unbasted hen
turkey was $6.31 cents, a dollar less than in 1973 and even
cheaper on advertised specials.
But all the other items on the list reflected the general
increase in grocery prices in the past year.
Margarine is up an average of 18 cents a pound, from 40
cents to 58 cents.
Fresh sweet potatoes have jumped from 20 cents a
pound to 24 cents.
A 16-ounce can of peas costs 32 cents compared with 27
cents.
Cranberry sauce is up from 26 cents to 34 cents for a 16-
ounce can.
A package of 12 brown-and-serve rolls is selling for 10
cents more than last year, up to 47 cents.
A 16-ounce can of pumpkin costs 27 cents this year
compared with 22 cents last year, and frozen pie shells
cost about a penny more apiece.
