About Mantle

st. Petersburg, Fla. capital OF
Florida West Coast vacationland
never was more eager to receive
the Yankees than it is right now.
That the BomberS have won
five consecutive pennantS and
worlds championships is regarded
there as the consummate boost for
the local climate. which has been
aiding and abetting the training
efforts of the New York club since
1925. reports The Sporting News
There already are 80 players at
Miller Higgins Field. ten of them
off the regular Yankee roster and
90 from the farm systems. Casey
Stengel and his coaching staff. as
sisted by minor league pilots. trou-
BILE shooters, scouts. and other
members of the New York payroll.
are busy speeding up the develop
ment of fine lot of prospects.
However. Mickey Mantle. anG
not one of the 80 workers. is the
chief concern of the Bomber man
ager.
Mantle has been a source Of
worry to Stergel ever since the kid
came to the Yankees. and 1t looks
as if the outfielder will remain .
worry for tho New York club for
as long as he is with the team.
Mantle is badly in need of guild
ance. and so far he has not re-
ceived it. says The SPORTING News.
He needed it very badly last
season. and he still needs it right
row. as much as ever. But neither
Stengel nor the front office has
taken the young man in hand. The
time has come for a change in
method.
When Mantle was operated on
in his part of the country. for re-
mOval of that vagrant cartilage in
his right knee. the surgeon who
old the Job was competent erough.
But Mantle was away from the
post-operational eye of the front
office.
The Sporting News reports that
Mantle played basketball. he hiked
and he hunted. on that mendinc
knee. Trouble developed and
Mickey got setback.

 As the Navy came to bat in the third inning, Ron Rouah, reached first on an error. Bob Hall, whose three for four at bat led the champions, hit the second pitch deep into the right field corner for a two run homer which was the clincher. The fourth inning saw Kodiak score their fourth and final run, when Hill reached first on a fielders choice and came on home. on two successive singles by Ar veritt and Lege.

Proposition Voted Down

Kodiak's special election on Tuesday, August 24tn, re- suited in the defeat of the proposition submitted by the City Council giving the Mayor and the six council members a two year term of office one hundred and twenty-six votes were cast, the result showing 82 against the proposition ana 34 for.
 The defeat of the two year term for both offices reVefes back to an ordinance passed by the City Council in ls4A
 which set the term at a one
 year term. In l946 the Councll
 tried to pass an ordinance setting the term of office at two.years, but due to an over sight by the administrator at that time the ordinance was never ratified by the voters of Kodiak.
 A new Mayor and SIX new
 councilmen will be up for cleo tion at the general election in iOctober.

Polio Drive Commences

LlOIl lOI AHAolAOliO oA oAJ DAo reports this week, We simply won't be able to get through the year without additional funds.
 Basil O'Connor, president of the National Polio Fighting group, said, We have been hoping against hope, that this would beea light year.
 But the latest U. s. Public Health Service reports show a jump of 24% in the number of polio cases over the past five year average. The 7,689 cases throughout the country, so far this year are. slightly below 1953's total, the third worst year, on record in the nation. 
 Due to the present finan- cial crisis we are calling for an Ems rgency March of Dimes started August 18th, ," said O'Connor.
 In Alaska where polio this year is increased by several hundred per cent over last year, the Territorial founda- tion is planning to join the National Emergency Drive.
 The Kodiak Emergency Polio Fund Drive committee is headed by Mrs. Wes Rhoades and has the following fund raising campaign plan ned.
 Starting tonight through the duration of the drive, during intermission times at the Orpheum Theatre a volun- tary collection will be taken.
 Contribution jars will be placed in all business houses and a Tag Day will be held on Saturday, September 4th. Other activitiss will be an- lnounced oyer the radio at al later date.
 O'Connor stated ' the Ma tional Foundation has spent $4,500. 900 so far this year as emergency aid to polio vic tims. This sum included about s1, 300, GOO borrowed from funds that were to be ussd for research and educatlon.
 In general the public can take the following precautions to help prevent contaeting the disease:
 I. Do not get chilled.
 2. Do not get overly tired.
 3. Make every effort to stay in good health by avoid- ing fatigue, unwholesome food, etc.
 4. As much as possible, have children associate only with the regular crowd of children they play with. Avoid new contacts.
 5. Keep hands clean.
 6. Delay mouth and throat operations if possible.

the Indian Lake area, will attack
frogs, rabbits and other animals,
