the receding water line. Final
authority to re-occupy the pre-
misses will not be given until the
safety of all service utilities has
been established.
Recommendations for the re-
Mobilization of trailer camps, cab
in courts, homes and businesses
were made today by DIR. Charles
Tudor, director of the Benton
Franklin Health District. Flood
control officials indicated that the
recommendations would be solidi-
fled into definite policy within
hours.
DR.. Tudor outlined these
points:
Cd The entire premises and
the area must be free Of water
before rehabilitation activities be-
gin.
% A satisfactory water supply
must be evidenced by a properly
constructed well or other water
source; the disinfection Of an ex-
listing well, If it has been con-
taminated by river water, or If
it has record of previous con-
tamination; at least three con-
secutive testings of water samples
must show no contamination; and
samples to establish the salts
factory quality of the water must
be taken throughout the area Of
trailer camps and cabin courts.

Caution Urged
In Re.Enierinu
Flooded Areas

Occupants of flooded business
ses and homes were warned to-
day by PUD Manager owen
Hurd to observe extreme pre-
cautions before re-entering their
premises.
Serious accidents or fatalities
could result from carelessness or
premature re-occupancy, Hurd
cautioned. Low voltage house cir
cult wiring becomes extremely
dangerous in wet or damp loca-
tons, and the hazard is greatly
increased if the wiring has been
IN direct contact with the water.
Hurd advised all customers in
the flooded area to check with
the PUD regarding their electric
al service before returning to
their homes or business places.
Electricity for some premises
has been turned off at the trans
formers, and in others, where j,
was necessary to maintain serv-
ice, the same transformer served
both flooded and unflooded areas.
II the service switch or meter
has been under water, explained
Hurd, it will be necessary to
make repairs to the service en-
trance equipment before the GUS
toner can have electric service.
1t is advisable that an electrician
be called to check the wiring be-
fore current is turned on, other
wise short circuits may develop
with the possibility Of a result
ing fire.
Equipment such as washing
machines motors, refrigerators
and other appliances become ex-
tremely dangerous, if they have
been under water, when connect
ed to an electric circuit before
being thoroughly dried out and
tested, Hurd said.
The worl<men of the PUD are
making a survey Of their serv-
ice wires and their portion of
the electrical circuit as fast as
the manpower of the organiza-
ton will permit.

over with Cat Brecheen, a Cardinal
pitcher who is Just about as good
as they come or go.
II would like" said to the, Feline
Phenom, ito have you explain one
thing.
Shoot. said Brecheen.
Just a year ago around this
time, the CARDINALS were 3-to:5 ia
vorites. They were the surest things
in baseball. They also were kick
ing such teams as the Yankees,
Tigers, Red Sox and others around
as if the, opposition had just
emerged from the bush. How could
this happen when later the Cardi-
mails looked like an orphan asylum
with cramp collie the first two
months Of the season? don't mean
looked bad. ] mean looked ter
rible.'
Harry the Cat fixed two shining
eyes on me and started to talk.
THAT'S very simple he said.
"The Cardinal veterans were not
betting the other teams around.
II was the Cardinal rookies-the
kids. We had infielders and out
fielders who were knocking down
the fences--all rockies. We had
fine pitching-mostly rockies.
Naturally the veterans sat back
and laughed. What a push-over.
Sam Breadon said it was the great
est bunch Of rockies ever known.
We thought so too.
''Howie Pollet, with sore arm,
was taking things easy So was
Red Munger. So was hurry Dick
son. So was Marty Marion. So
was Stan Musial. Most of them
didn't feel any too well. They
needed time. But why rush things
with all those murderous rockies
around?
$50 when the season opened, the
veterans were not ready. And the
rockies were no help. The stars
of the Citrus Circuit no longer
starred beneath the great white
spotlight.
I'VE lost nine straight. We kept
on losing. Nobody could win. The
veterans were bad and the rockies,
outside. of Jim Hearn, were worse.
But that won't happen any more.
YOU can bet on that" ~ sfir

Gene Sarazen Arrives

Like a robin blown rom snow

ice foe, short, stocky fellow with
a quick smile and piano legs came
into the room. His name happens
to be Gene Sarazen, one of the
best. one Of the smartest and one
Of the most popular golfers Of all
time.
Gene had an idea that the younger
and unknown pros should get more
protection or help.
''You don't have to help the Ho-
gans, Sneads, Demarets, Nelson's
or Lockes." he said. They can take
care of themselves. But these
younger fellows on a tour have to
pay out rather important money
from $1,000 to $1,000. There should
be bigger cash prizes. extended to

If golf, pro golf, ever got a real
commissioner, my vote would go
to Sarazen. Maybe he wouldn't
want it or wouldn't take it. Gene
is for the older golfer, the kid golfer,
as well as for the star golfer.
