Mygrant. who lives on a 500-acre spread just outside Plains. Ga. He came to our Milford printing plant in the person of a truck driver with a 20-ton load of newsprint from Calhoun, Tennessee. When questioned about his relationship with the President, the slight <l2O pound>, young (45) truck driver said, “Yeah, I’ve known both Jimmie and Billy for years. We’ve been hunting together, although some years back.” He added. “But Billy is the smart one. He’s dumb like a fox Why, he’s going to make more than Jimmy ever thought of.” Asked if Billy actually drinks all that much beer, our truck driver friend said.

He’s been trucking for an Ohio firm for 20 years “But I'm going to keep my land.” Mygrant said, "what with land prices going up like they are around Plains."
