Atlanta Braves
Sign Many Good
Ball Players
Although time will offer the fi
nal judgement, Director of Scouts
Ray Hayworth is confident that
the Braves have never signed
more outstanding prospects than
during this past month.
“The significant thing is we
have signed a great percentage of
our high draft picks,” said Hay
worth. “Usually a lot of the best
ones get away.”
Biggest news, of course has
been the acquisition of New Jer
sey high school standout Al San
torini. The 6-1, 190-pound Santori
ni won 36 high school games and
lost only one (that on a wild
pitch). Owner of a blazing fastball
and crackling curve, Santorini
struck out 203 batters in 126 in
nings during his senior year. He
fanned 17 in the New Jersey
championship game.
Braves scout John “Honey”
Russell, who signed Joe Torre,
believes the two will be major
league battery mates in two
years.
“The boy has great poise and
I believe he has the best curve
for a young fellow I have seen
in a long time,” said Hayworth.
Hayworth thinks the Braves al
so picked up a great prospect in
pitcher John Stuart of Southern
California. Stuart won 17 and
lost one in his senior year and
has since won his first start as
a professional for Yakima of the
Northwest League.
Another fine prospect is third
baseman Bob Toney of Oklahoma
State. He made the all-star team
of the Collegiate World Series and
was runner-up as the Most Valu
able Player. Oscar Brown, the
Braves’ No. 1 choice in the spe
cial phase draft is now in the
Yakima outfield and is consider
ed a tremendous young player.

KEEP DRY AND UPRIGHT,
DON'T OVERLOAD THE BOAT
Thinking about taking the gang
fishing in your outboard this week
end? Better think twice.
Overloading a boat can capsize
it, cautions the American Insur
ance Association.
Most boat manufacturers post
an OBC (Outboard Boating Club
of America) capacity plate on
each boat showing the maximum
recommended weight that the
craft can safely carry.
Each person aboard should wear
a life jacket — NOT depend on
the cushion-type preservers that
often float out of reach. One never
knows when an accident will oc
cur and the boat will tip over.
LIVESTOCK PRICES
Georgia farmers will find
prices of cattle, hogs, and
poultry at generally profitable
levels this summer and most
of the fall, says Paul C. Bunce,

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
WHAT IS MEANT BY THE
CANON OF THE BIBLE
The v/ord “canon” originated
from a Greek word meaning meas
uring rod or rule. Later it came to
mean a rule of faith and finally
a catlog or list. Used in connec
tion with the Bible it signifies a
collecton of divinely inspired reli
gious writings.
Those books measured by the
standard or test of divine inspira
tion and authority and deemed to
be “God-breathed” were included
in the “canon.”
We have the canon of both the
Old and New Testaments. Why is
it that there are just 39 books of
the Old and 27 of the New Testa
ment? Who decided which books
were to be included in that which
we now call our Bible?
A tradition, supported by most
Bible scholars, claims the 0. T.
Canon to have been determined
by Ezra and the Great Sanhedrin.
This Sanhedrin consisted of 71
members — men chosen from the
priestly aristocracy and yet in
cluding some learned lawmen.
We do know that the 0. T. was
confirmed many times by Christ,
Himself — setting the Divine seal
of approval upon it. Christ read
and quoted from it time after
time.
The Ist century Christians con
sidered the 0. T. to be their
Bible for the N. T. was not yet
completed. The N. T. canon was
one of gradual growth. The N. T.
books were written for a particu
lar purpose and to fill a special
need in the existing churches of
that day. They were written by
the Apostles as they were moved
by God and the letters were pass-

MISS DONA TUCKER
Citizenship Delegate
Dona Tucker Goes
To Washington
As Delegate
Dona Tucker, an outstanding
Brantley County 4-H Club
member, has been chosen as
one of the delegates to rep
resent Georgia in a Citizenship
Short Course to be held in
Washington, D. C. July 9-17.
The Georgia group will meet
in Atlanta, and travel together
to the National 4-H Club head
quarters. The course includes
sight-seeing trips in additions
to lectures and classes designed
to help young people become
better citizens in today’s world.
Dona is the daughter of Mrs.
Letha J. Tucker of Waycross
and Nahunta She was selected
for this trip through the Geor
gia Cooperative Extension
Service, by her records in
leadership and 4-H project
work during her 7 years as a
4-H club member. She has
served as a community club
and County Council officer,
represented the county at the
District Project Achievement
for 7 years, and been a dele
gate to the State 4-H Council.
She has completed her
junior year at the Nahunta
High School, was her class
president, a member of the
Glee Club, F. H. A., F. T. A.
and Tri-Hi-Y. She is also a
member of the Nahunta Bap
tist Church, a member of the
choir, and president of the
Y. W. A.
ed from one church to another so
that all might read.
As time passed and the writers
of these books went to be with
their Lord, these writings became
even more precious to the church.
It was in A. D. 397 that the N. T.
canon was ratified by the Council
of Carthage thus giving it, in the
Christian Church, a place of au
thority and sacredness equal to
that of the O. T.
The essential point for us to re
member is that the N. T., as we
now have it, is not composed of
books selected by any synod or
council. They came together as a
result of being generally recogn
ized as the Word of God.
The later councils of the Chris
tian Church in making up their
lists of books to be included in the
Bible simply put their seal upon
that which had already been es
tablished by practice. They them
selves did not actually determine
the canon.
We believe that the Bible is the
inspired Word of God and that He
used men to both write and pre
serve His word. Those writings in
spired of God assert their own
"authority.”
WATER FOR PECANS
Proper soil management this
summer will result in greater sur
vival of recently transplanted pe
can trees, says Horticulturist Shaw
Fletcher of the Extensoin Service.
He points out that new trees need
plenty of moisture in order to es
tablish a root system and produce
new growth during the hot, dry
summer months.
