CHKAOO • pmOIT • IOI AMO.U. ■ H«W TQM The tragic deaths of two teen-age boys In Lawrencevllle, Georgia has led to a bi-county search by sheriffs from Gwin nett and Hall counties—not the search for murderers uut the search for abandoned wells throughout the counties. Willie (Buddy) Greeson, 14, was just like all other boys his age. He loved outdoor life and youthful adventures. He en joyed going into the woods looking for new things. Last week an abandoned well brought his love for outdoor life to an earthly end. While he and his friend Felton (Junior) Avery, 13, were ex ploring in the woods they came upon an open, dry well, about 30 inches across and 35 feet deep. Buddy went down on a rope but was overcome by gas fumes and never saw light again. The younger boy ran for help and returned with his older brother, Billy Avery, 16. Belly went into the well. He too was overcome with gas before he could tie the rope around his friend. The people of Hall and Gwinnett counties were too late in their drive to save the youthful lives of Buddy Greenson and Billy Avery. Today they have declared war on dangerous open wells. With the eoopeeation of the sherriff departments, fire depart ments, forest units, soil conservationists, and farmers, other well still existing will be found and destroyed. Often it seems necessary for death to come into our lives to awaken us of the dangers that are all about us. It would be a wonderful project in our county if local de partments would declare war on abandoned wells—caves and refrigerators could well be includedl Let’s not wait until tragedy hits at homel The people of Gwin nett county were too late to save the lives of Buddy Greeson and Billy Avery. Let us act quickly in helping our youth con tinue to grow. RE-ELECT ZACK D.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF TAYLOR COUNTY FROM A MARVIN GRIFFIN SUPPORTER Athens, Georgia August 1, 1962 Mr. Charlie Evans, Chairman Marvin Griffin for Governor Club Athens, Georgia Dear Charlie: I heard over the radio this morning that Marvin Griffin will be here in Athens on August 28th for a big speaking and barbecue rally. I have a nice pig named ‘Rastus Ralph’ that I have been keeping on a diet of watermelons, collards, com, buttermilk and the like. Come speaking time. I expert ‘Rastus Ralph' to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pounds, which should dress out to be a fine piece of meat. I want to take this opportunity to give him to Marvin for the barbecue. I want to save certain parts of ‘Rastus Ralph’ for oth er folks, however. Send the chitterlings to Ernest Vandi ver, because if anybody needed some guts, he does. Send the ears to the Atlanta papers. From what they have been printing, they ain’t been hearing the truth too well. Send the feet to Martin Luther King Jr., since he will have to do some powerful running come January 1st. And, by the way, send the squeal to Carl Sanders and Mills B. Lane. When the votes get counted September 12th. they'll be doing a heck of a lot of it. Sincerely, MORGAN R. REDWINE JR.
