State losing non-farm jobs 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.

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 The Swilley family will be at the Faith Temple Assembly of doff Church, 1344 North Ninth street Sunday night in a service beginning*at 7 o’clock. Members of the family are (1-r) Duane, Mark, Ernestine and Wallace Swilley. They are nationally known for their ministry in television, radio, recordings, state conventions, civic groups, local churches and in the mission field. The Rev. E. P. Pruett, pastor of Faith Temple, invited the public to attend the service. 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.

Page 15 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, November 21,1974 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.
