Dogs, was Forsyth County’s
leading scorer in the
Dawsonville game accounting
for 21 points. Dishroom was 9-17
from the field and 3-4 from the
foul line. Dawson County’s
Ricky Hope led all scorers in the
game, hitting for 31 points.
Danny Coleman had 18 points in
the Dogs’ losing cause. The
Forsyth County five hit on only
35 per cent of their shots from
the field, going 32-89.
The FCHS team travelled to
Monroe Friday night hoping to
erase the memory of the
Dawsonville game from their
minds by defeating the Purple
Hurricanes of Monroe. They
accomplished this with an eight
point 54-46 victory. The Dogs
had dropped an earlier one
point decision to the speedy

found the home court to their
liking as they were victorious
twice before the home crowd

Employment High
ATLANTA—Reporting that
jobs for Georgians reached an
all-time high during the past
year, Commissioner of Labor
Sam Caldwell today told
Governor Jimmy Carter that
Georgia can look toward a
continuing low rate of enem
ployment in 1973.
“This state reached a
significant milestone in 1972,”
said Caldwell, “when the work
force climbed above the two
million mark for the first time
in history.”
In submitting the Georgia
Department of Labor’s annual
report, Caldwell told the
governor he sees improving
conditions for both
management and labor during
1973.
“There should be increasing
opportunity for business ex
pansion and higher weekly
earnings for work people,”
Caldwell said. “And there will
be more skills available to
employers.”
Caldwell told the governor
that Georgia has been far more
fortunate than most states
regarding its rate of unem
ployment. The commissioner
pointed with obvious pride to a
singular fact: Georgia’s insured
employment rate in mid-
December 1972—meaning
workers covered by umem-

was once again the top scorer
for FCHS, collecting 12
points as well as 13 rebounds.
Phillips and Danny
Coleman had 10 points each
while Vince Landers, a surprise
starter for the Dogs, had nine
points and seven rebounds.
The Bulldogs gained a lead
early in the first period and did
not relinquish it throughout the
game. The Dogs outpointed
their opponents in both the first
and third periods while playing
improved their record to 13-6 for
the ’73 campaign.
The Dog’s defeated the Tigers
of Dawsonville easily Tuesday
night with a 29 point victory
span in the 50-21 decision. The
ployment insurance— ranked
second in the nation.
Virginia was the lone state
which had a lower rate of in
sured unemployed on its rolls
than did Georgia, Caldwell told
the governor. Of the state’s total
workforce in insured em
ployment, only 1.1 per cent were
unemployed in mid-December,
a figure 2.2 points less than the
national average.
“Georgia, again compared to
other states,” Caldwell ex
plained, “experienced
favorable rates of unem
ployment throughout 1972. In
fact, the overall unemployment
of 3.8 per cent, registered in
October, was 1.1 points less than
the national average.”
The current total per cent of
the workforce unemployed in
the state stands at 3.8 per cent,
with the current insured
unemployment rate at 1 per
cent.
During 1972, the average
weekly wages of factory
workers in Georgia rose $10.15,
from $116.52 to $126.67, while
non-farm employment in
creased from 1,594,500 to
1,635,100, or approximately 3%
per cent during 1972.
This marks the second
straight year of significant
increases, Caldwell noted,
pointing to the year previous
when the average weekly wages
of Georgia factory workers
climbed s9.o6—from $107.06 to
$116.52.
Caldwell attributed the
state’s more fortunate situation
to a policy of continuing in
dustrial diversification, coupled
with the success of several
important programs under the
federally-funded Manpower
Development and Training Act.
More than 9,000 Georgians (up
from 4,000 over the previous
year) were enrolled in some
type of manpower training
during 1972.
The labor commissioner is
attempting to see that such
manpower training continues in
Georgia, though a continuing
federal freeze on funds has
endangered the program.
“This type of training is the
finest, dollar for dollar, that has
ever been conceived,” Caldwell
declared. “Thousands of in
dividuals are now employed in
skilled occupations. Before
completing job skill courses,
many of these people were
unemployed, or employed in
jobs paying wages below the
poverty level. It is clear that
this training program helps the
chronically umemployed.
“It is also clear that this
program has helped those
whose skills are no longer in
demand due to shifts in national
priorities. This includes both
skilled people in the space
program and—for further good
example—those in textile
mills,” Caldwell added.
Caldwell said that figures on
unemployment insurance
benefit payments also show
Georgia in a favorable light.
For example, the commissioner
pointed out that the amount of
benefit payments reduced from
$36.8 million in 1971 to $31.4
million in 1972.

the other two quarters evenly.
Ihe Dogs’ foul shooting late in
,the game assured them of a
victory as they scored seven
times in ten attempts from the
charity stripe.
The second win of the week
came against the Pickens
County High School Dragons,
who had defeated the Dogs
twice this season. The Dogs
handed their green and white
opponents a 51-41 defeat while
Tigers were simply unable to
contain forward Vicki Whitmire
and rover Mary Ingram who hit
for 19 and 13 points respec
tively. The most that any of the
Dawsonville players could
score against the two Dogs
guards, Becky Thornton and
Carol Moon, was six points. The
Dog’s guards allowed the Tigers
only 2 points in the third period.
The Lady Dogs lone defeat of
the week came against region
leading Monroe who handed the
F.C. team a 53-43 decision. The
girls from Forsyth County
