An Editorial
It is a source of deep regret to the numerous Taylor
County and state-wide friends of Lieutenant Governor
Garland T. Byrd that he was forced to withdraw from the
Governor’s race due to a heart attack which he suffered
several days ago.
Lt. Gov. Byrd is a patient at the Macon Hospital and
reported to be resting comfortably at this time according
to a report from the hospital.
Everyone in Taylor County is most interested in
Lt. Gov. Byrd’s physical condition and although they are
disappointed that he was forced to withdraw from this
race, his friends are anticipating his speedy and complete
recovery and have already begun preparing for a success

Statewide Rally
Planned for Griffin
July 7th at Americus
It is regrettable that an untime
ly illness forced the withdrawal of
Lieutenant Governor Garland Byrd
from the Governor’s race. I hope he
will soon be restored to good health.
The issue is now squarely up to
all Georgians. It is clear-cut. There
will be no runoff. I will win on the
first ballot. I know that the people
of our great state will not turn
over the reins of government to a
bought tool of Mills B. Lane, Ralph
McGill, Martin Luther King and
a corrupt Atlanta political ma
chine.
I shall institute once again
an administration of progress,
prosperity and development of this
state’s great resources. I call upon
all Georgians, and I heartily
welcome the friends of Lt. Gov.
Byrd, to join me in an all-out fight
against special privilege, unlimit
ed intigration and destruction of
state sovereignty and continued
Federal encroachment. Those are
the issues and I shall meet them in
every city and in every county in
our great state.

according to a front page news

There are 100 churches in the Co

There are eight districts in the

Pvt. Jimmy E. Hill
Stationed in Berlin
Atlanta, Ga. — Marvin Griffin
will speak at a statewide rally in
the baseball park at Americus July
7th to officially open the campaign
he hopes will return him to the
governor’s chair next January after
an absence of four years.
While the former governor was
disclosing the date and site for the
opening of his campaign, Sen. Carl
E. Sanders as his major opponent
charged in a speech at Jekyll Is
land that Griffin’s 1955-58 tenure
as chief executive was marked
with corruption.
Griffin was the first of the can
didates left in the field after Lt.
Gov. Garland Byrd’s withdrawal to
announce when he would formally
make his debut of 1962. The other
candidates in addition to Sanders,
are Hoke O’Kelley, Mrs. Grace Wil-
key Thomas and Cecil Langham.
Mr.-Mrs. Chapman
Among Attendants at
Ground-Breaking
Barnesville, Ga. — Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Chapman of Butler were
among several thousand spectators
who witnessed a spectacular cere
mony at Gordon Military College
on May 8th when ground was
broken for Gordon’s new $300,000
auditorium-gym.
Mr. Chapman is a Gordon gradu
ate of the Class of 1911, an honor
ary Colonel in the Gordon Corps of
Cadets and a director of the Gordon
Alumni Assn. He and Mrs. Chapman
saw D. B. Cannafax, Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, hold the reins
of his prize winning 1800-pound
Hereford bull as the bull pulled the
plow to break the ground. After
the ground breaking had been ini--
tiaated, the 25 members of the
board of Trustees each, with shovel
in hand contributed his share to
the ceremony.
Atomic energy from the science
laboratory at the school was used
to make an effective and colorful
nuclear blast illusion from a simu
lated space craft. A firing squad
of Gordon cadets added realism to
this part of the program.
Col. C. T. B. Harris, president of
the school, was master of cere
monies for the occasion.

Rev. Wiley Cameron
To Preach at Mauk
(Mrs. Verna Griggs)
Senior Kay Dunn ended her bas-
kebtall career with a great night
against Dexter in the finals of the
State C Basketball Tournament in
Macon City Auditorium two months
ago. However, as the Senior awards
were given out at the Class Night
program of the Class of 1962, Kay
received the highest honor any ath
lete has been awarded, the retire
ment of her uniform, No. 11.
The only Senior on the squad
that was the first Bearette
team to go to the state, Kay led
not only her team-mates in scoring
but was the highest scorer in the
tournament. Her clean sportsman
ship, fair play and love for the
game and her school were evident
throughout the tournament as they
had been since she made the team
in her freshman year.
Principal M, J. Marchman pre
sented Kay a certificate which
reads in part: “No. 11 was worn
by Kay Dunn throughout her illus
trious high school career at Butler
High school. During her sophomore
year, Kay averaged 15 points per
game. As a junior she averaged 16
points per game. Kay’s Senior year
was the highlight of her career as
she averaged 18.56 points per game
and the Bearettes won the region
championship to become the first
girls’ team ever to represent Butler
in the State Tournament.
“At the state tournament, Kay
again demonstrated her greatness
as she averaged 31.75 points in four
games, leading the Bearettes to a
second place finish. This exhibition
of play made her become the only
player in Butler history to lead all
scorers in the state tournament. It
is hoped that the retirement of her
jersey will not only preserve her
outstanding achievement but will
also be an inspiration to others who
desire to follow in her foot
steps.”
The certificate signed by Norman
Carter Jr., Coach, and Phincipal
Malcolm Marchman will be placed
in the trophy case along with the
uniform.
Kay was not only outstanding on
the basketball court, but she was
an all around good student. She
was elected to the Homecoming
Court one year ago and in her
Senior year was named Miss Home
coming. She is ‘secretary of the
Senior Class and Future Business
Leaders.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
H. Dunn, Sr., she has been active
in Student Council, FHA, Tri-Hi-Y
and the Butler Baptist church.
