THE FESTIVAL

"The Ice King Of the North
is very angry" said Miski, the
wise man Of the Eskimo village.
He sends frigid winds and
storms Of snow even though it
is August and the ice on the sea
should long since have melted.
ITO placate the Ice King we
must have a festival in his
honor. Then he will surely put
aside his anger and we will be
able to do our summer hunt
ing for reindeer and rabbits
and duck"
"Hooray!" cried Oonik, the
Eskimo boy. 81 love festivals!
Dancingl And singing! And
eating! Oh, that will be good!"
But Oonik's mother said,
How can we have a festival?
Hunting has been so poor there
is scarcely any food left in the
village. In my house we are
down to our last seal flipper."
TT is the same with u.s."
moaned the other women. "Our
storerooms are nearly empty"
Oonik's father said, Can we
not have a festival without
food?"
Miski shook his head. '"The
Ice King would be insulted If
we had a festival in his honor
and had no food. If we did not
care to bring out our food in
bis honor perhaps he would not
care to stop the winter winds"
Then the men said, VERY
well. We will do it for the
winter storms must end.".
So the EskimoS returned to
their iglooS. The women melted
snow and put their last hunks
Of meat in the water to stew.
The men made fiat drums out
Of wooden hoops covered with
the thin inner tissues of seals.
When all was ready the viii
layers returned to the igloo of
Miski, the wise man. They all
sat on the floor Of the snow
house and Miski stood in their
middle and sang a song to the
Ice King.
He asked the Ice King to get
over his anger and bring the
Eskimos good weather so they
could have good hunting again.
Then Miski sat down and
the men began to beat on their
drums with sticks made of ivory
walruS tusks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then the Eskimos sang. First

Same Old Yankees?
By FRANCIS STANN
Star Staff Writer

A FTER the fourth game of the 1858
"A World Series, there was jubilation in
Milwaukee and hope in the American
League. The mighty Yankees were trailing
the Braves, three games to one. The
naughty Yankees were jittery and playing
weird ball. The damn Yankees were not
invincible, after ALL
Or so 1t was widely felt
But, as every schoolboy knows, the
Yankees pulled themselves together, ran
OF three straight to beat the Braves. and
now, as they head for Griffith Stadium next
week for their 1859 debut. they remain odds
on favorites to win their 18th pennant In
IL years and their 18th in "a seasons.

Florida last month. He sounded con-
tented. But was hep
Stengel didn't sound so satisfied ear
lier in the winter when he blasted some of
his players for confusing midnight with
high noon" He looked like a worried man
when, after his club had threatened to re-
write the record book, the Yankees went
into a tailSpin in August and didn't re-
cover until 1t was almost too late In the
Series
1ncTe was MUCH ANGUISH III the amer
lean League when the Yankees got of to
an unparalleled start, even for them. BY the
end of May, they had a 9-game lead. BY
August 2, they were II games in front.
Historians began to ask Stengel If this was
the greatest of all Yankee teams.
Bob Turley won 10 of his first II games.

seven of his first eight decisions. Ryne

Duren was completely unexpected and
brilliant success as a relief pitcher.
Suddenly, the fabulous Yankees came
all undone, like loose ball of Irvine rolling
downhill In mid-August, they lost eight
of IL and in two weeks five and a half
games were chopped from the unsurmount-
able lead. In September, they dropped six in
row and were Inundated when Hoyt
Wilhelm, veteran Baltimore pitcher, threw
a no-hitter at them
Stengel threatened, cajoled and Or
dered special drills, but to no avail
Ford developed sore elbow and was out
of action for three weeks after August g.
Larsen also was sidelined and Tom Sturdi-
want, a 16-game winner in 81, won only
three games. Although Turley enjoyed his
best season by far. Bob won only one game
in September
Although Mickey Mantle led the
league with AZ home runs, his average
dropped 81 points to 3O4 and he famed
40 times. Bill Skowron fell from SO4 in
81 to 273. Gil McDougalds batting fell
off IS points to ISL. Yogi Berra put 266
year on top of Isl season and wound up
catching fewer games than ElSton Howard
Tony Kubek, who went into the service
after the Series, batted .297 as a rookie in
ST and only .265 last year.
Howard, however, had a fine season,
batting .S14 and helping behind the bat and
in the outf1eld. Until he ran into sun
trouble in the Series, rookie Norm Seibern
did well in left field, batting 800 for the
campaign.

Israelites out OF bondage in
Egypt about 1900 B. c.
An account Of the historic
flight is recited at a Seder (pro-
nounced say-der and meaning
order Of service) or family
feast held the opening night Of
Passover. The story, which APP
pears in the Book of Exodus, is
read at the Passover supper.

certain aspects of the Biblical
story NATIONS, or unleavened
bread, is eaten to recall the
hurried manner in which the
Israelites fled from Egypt. Bit
ter herbs are eaten to suggest
the bad taste of slavery. a

Rabbis Issue Statement
The Washington Board of
RabbiS and the Rabbinical
Council issued a message to-
day declaring that while the
event which Passover commons
crates occurred more than 1000
years ago. its message is still
revelant.
ITO this very day the Exodus
from Egypt remains the SYM
Dol par excellence of mans ir-
respressible desire to be free,
and IF his determination to
make that freedom a condition
for Self-fulf1llment and spiritual
growth" the statement as
serted.
The signers then called upon
Jewish parents Of the area to
give their children "the fullest
inspiration, the JOY and the in
finite spiritual enrichment
which the proper observance of
our Jewish festivals make pos
sible."
In a similar message the
Washington Armed Services
Committee, National Jewish

teaches us mot only that they
alone deserve freedom who are
willing to bleed and are ready
to die for it, but that every man
must regard himself as a per-
sonal sentinel of freedom-for
himself and his brother"
