GIANTS AREN’T, BUT THEY ARE
The S.F. Giants have been on top of the heap in the National
League all spring, but the official averages of the Senior Circuit as
of last Friday had the fast-moving West Coast major leaguers in
fifth place in team batting. St. Louis, battling the N.Y. Mets and
Pittsburgh for top place in the eastern division of the National
League, was leading with a .277 team average. The Giants with a
.260 team average follow the Mets, Dodgers and Pirates.
The winning ways of the Giants come about as a result of
effective pitching and timely hitting by the likes of Mays,
McCovey, Dietz, Bonds, and the outstanding crop of rookies
Charlie Fox brought up this season. Also the teams defense has
improved.
If the Charlie Fox “magic” touch continues to hold forth the
high-kicking Juan Marichal and youngsters Johnson and Bryant
keep up their good performances, the Giants will be difficult to
overtake, especially with the bullpen shining the way it has
been.
As for our Atlanta Braves overtaking them, we’ll have to say
now, “THERE AIN’T NO WAY”.

The Official Report from
Georgia's Big League Team
RALPH GARR
ATLANTA (FRN) - Ralph
Garr .. .Superstar! That’s the
feeling that baseball fans
throughout the U.S. have
adopted over the past month
and a half as the speedy
Braves’ Road Runner has
become a national folk hero
over night.
Garr, who has led the Major
Leagues in hitting all season
with a .400-plus batting
average, has turned into the
most colorful character in big
league sports today.
“If you think I can hit, you
should have seen my mother,”
Garr said recently. “She was a
longball hitter. She was one of
the best longball hitters in
Ruston, Louisiana. She could
hit a softball farther than I can
hit a baseball.”
Concerning his own hitting
and great speed Ralph said,
“You know, I always thought
I was a good hitter but 1 didn’t
know I could run until I got
into the pros. When I played
city league and college ball,
there were always so many
fast players that I thought C
was slow. ”
Garr, of course, was kidding
when he described himself as
slow. He has gained the
reputation as one of the
fastest players ever to play in
the Majors. He, in fact,
collected a total of 13 infield
hits and eight bunt singles in
slightly over a month this
season.
And although his power
may not match his mother,
Ralph has displayed surprising
strength. On Monday night,
May 17th, at Atlanta Stadium,
he became only the second
player in recent years to hit
two extra-inning homers in a
single game. Ralph’s homer in
the bottom of the 12th that
night gave the Braves a 43
victory of the Mets and a
brilliant defensive play by him
in the ninth saved the game.
Although it’s been 30 years
since Ted Williams hit .406,
Ralph doesn’t dismiss the fact
that he may hit over .400 this
year.
“I might hit .400,” he said.
“The way I figure it, with the
speed I got, and the fact that I
don’t strke out much, and all
■Register ■ I
■ And ■
■ Vote ■
the good things God gave me,
if anybody hits .400 this year,
it could be me.”
But the Road Runner
doesn’t let his average stand in
the way of his team’s success.
“I go out there to help win
ball games,” he said.
“Sometimes that means
getting on base as often as
possible, but sometimes like
the other night against Seaver
(Tom of the Mets) you just
have to swing as hard as you
can, trying to hit the ball out.
You know a guy like Seaver’s
not going to give up many hits
so it doesn’t do the team
much good to get four singles
in a game. You got to swing
hard and hope to hit one ball
out of the park for the night.
That’s the only way to score
against him.”
In his short time in the big
leagues, Ralph has also gained
a reputation with sports
writers as one of the nicest
people in sports to talk to.
“I’ve always respected
people who are willing to take
time and talk to other
people,” Ralph says. “I enjoy
talking with folks.”

OUTDOORS
BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH
Georgia Game and
Fish Commission
ATLANTA (PRN)-“My
son and I were fishing on
Rock Creek in the Blue Ridge
Management Area,” the mart
was saying, “and we noticed
this man and his family
breaking camp. When they
were through, the whole site
was filthy with litter.
“I went up to the man and
asked if he was going to leave
it like that. He replied,
“What’s it to you?” Well, of
course, I was indignant, and
told him I didn’t think he
should leave his campsite so
messy,” my visitor told me.
“He looked me square in
the eye and said “If you have
no authority to stop me, I
don’t see why I have to listen
to you.” Maybe I spoke out of
turn. But I hate to see people
abuse and misuse our beautiful
lands and streams. Can’t you
do something about it? What
can I do to help?”
The man was sincere, and
deeply concerned. Many of us
are, but we don’t know what
to do. This man, like many
others, felt that increasing the
number of rangers or deputy
rangers would help. Perhaps it
would, but can you guess how
many rangers it would take, to
have one standing bAind each
potential violator, to prevent
abuse and law-breaking?
There’s no way.
Yes, game and fish
regulations are broken daily.
Georgia wildlife rangers do the
best they can but they need
help. Sometimes it may help
to jog a thoughtless person,
but it will more likely help to
report serious situations to the
rangers and let them handle
them.
For some strange reason,
people hate to “fink” on other
people. If a guy stole your
lawn mower from your lawn
and you saw him, you’d call
the police. But if you see him
kill a doe deer, which is just as
much yours as anyone’s, you
don’t want to squeal. Why?
He’s still stealing from you I
It’s hard for me to
understand why law-abiding,
seriously minded, sportsmen
with good intentions, don’t
realize they are a large group
of people, with enough
influence to make the public,
the lawmakers and news media
listen. Why don’t they let
lawmakers know what their
wishes are? Why don’t they
report violations?
The fellow telling me about
how he confronted the sloppy
camper admitted that it
discouraged him to the point
that on a later trip when he
saw two fishermen on a closed
stream, he didn’t report it to a
ranger, even when the ranger
had asked that he do so. The
rangers can’t be everywhere at
one time. They need help.
Your help. Won’t you give it
to them? Doesn’t the privilege
of hunting and fishing mean
that much to you?
<§>
A' -
/
But JFiZZ You Want
To Come Back Again?
He came to me wanting to
know what he could do, and
what I could do. I firmly
believe that more important
than law enforcement is public
concern. All of us have to
realize our responsibilities.
How do we react when we
hear someone brag about
breaking bag limits or hunting
out of season? Do we chide
him, or let him go on feeling
like he’s something of a hero?
There must be away to
impress upon people that they
must do their share in obeying
laws and keeping recreation
sites clean. Who knows? Even
the guy who litters a campsite
just MIGHT want to camp in
that same place again
some day.

SUMMER SALES
We’re always hearing about
seasonal sales. What are some
good summer buys?
There are some excellent
summer sale buys, but there
are also some things that
people just think are good
buys. June is a very good time
to buy “seasonally dead”
winter clothes, particularly for
children. Be sure you buy sizes
large enough for next year. In
July, many stores drastically
reduce their early spring
merchandise, and many
sponsor extensive Fourth of
July sales. Remember, some
stores bring in merchandise
especially for such sales, and it
is not really “reduced.” This
does not mean it isn’t a good
buy, merely that you should
be sure that you’re not paying
more than you ordinarily
would.
In some cases, Labor Day
sales are good for buying
appliances. Also, late summer
is about the best time to buy
summer clothes, particularly
bathing suits. If you can put
off your vacation to August or
September, this can be a big
help. Speaking of vacations,
most beach resorts, even the
plushest, charge from 1/2 to
3/4 less during summer than
they charge for the Winter
“Season.” August and
September are good months to
buy automobiles and canned
and frozen foods in bulk.
Surprisingly, August fur
sales are not always the best
time to buy that stole you’ve
been saving for. In many cases,
January fur sales offer the best
buys.
Remember, plan your
purchases, place a limit on
how much you will spend,
compare prices, and try not to
buy on impulse.
TRUTH-IN-LENDING
How does the
Truth-in-Lending law protect
the consumer?
Under the Truth-in-Lending
law, a contract must clearly
show both the finance charge
and the annual percentage
rate. For instance, the
contract must show that they

are charging, say, 1 1/2 per
cent interest per month, which
comes to 18 per cent annually.
If the amount of the principle
was SIOO, and you paid it off
SIO.OO a month for 10
months at 1 1/2 per cent, the
amount of interest comes to
$8.35. The contract must also
show the amounts of any
service or carrying charges, the
total amount of any interest
and other charges combined,
and the annual percentage rate
of the total. This law also
provides that advertising
featuring credit terms must
contain all important credit
features. Therefore, if a store
advertises “low down
payment,” they must also
disclose the amount and
number of payments to
follow.
Under Truth-in-Lending,
you can cancel a contract
within three days if you have
put your home up as security,
unless the contract is a first
mortgage. If you are canceling
a contract, it is usually smart
to do it by registered letter,
post, marked before the grace
period expires.
If a contract does not
comply with the various
Truth-in-Lending regulations
you can get out of it. If you
are suspicious of a contract,
the agency that regulates that
particular industry will review
the contract and advise you.
Further if someone doesn’t
tell you the pertinent facts
about a contract, you can sue
for twice the amount of the
finance charge up to SI,OOO.
For further information
concerning the Truth-in
-Lending law or the nine
regulating agencies, you
should contact the Federal
Trade Commission.

1968 he was awarded the
Doctor of Laws by Colorado
State College in recognition of
his outstanding national
contribution to public higher
education.
In the early 1950’5, he
joined the executive staff of
the Commonwealth Fund, a
major New York City
foundation concerned with the
improvement of medical
education. His professional
experience also includes
newspaper work and consulting
services in the educational,
health and communications
fields.
His interest in higher
education on the national
scene was manifest when, as a
returned “G1 Bill” student at
Penn State he helped organize
the National Student Assn.,
and then took a year off from
his graduate studies to become
one of its first national
officers. In his senior year, he
was editor in chief of the
student daily newspaper.
In 1969 The Ford and Sloan
Foundations selected him as a
member of a five-man team
which toured various parts of
the world to prepare reports on
higher education planning and
development.
