VOLUME 43—NUMBER 15
By JACK TROY
Don't' Sell the Atlanta
Braves Short
Doggone ... it will happen almost every time.
Before the Braves-Astros game Thursday night. Milo
Hamilton interviewed Manager Luman Harris.
As the season opened we quoted Luman Harris as say
ing it was his belief as manager that the Braves were going
to make a run for the pennant.
We agree with Luman Harris. It would not be wise to
sell him short as a manager. He won the International
League pennant at Triple A Richmond last year.
When Luman pitched for Paul Richards and the Atlanta
Crackers, one of his main characteristics was courage. He
had plenty of fortitude on the mound and he played with
a pennant winner then.
There is a lot to say for the "team” of Gen. Mgr. Paul
Richards and Luman Harris. Harris has the advantage of
gaining the strong points of a most successful manager,
Paul Richards. It is no secret they work well together in
managing the Braves. Don't sell Luman short. The season
has a long way to go.
MOUNTAIN VIEW AUG. 3
Citizens to Decide
On Fire Department
I he citizens of Mountain View are again being given
an opportunity to decide if they want to keep a Fire
Department or to give it up. The Mayor and Council,
after due and careful consideration, have decided to
once again present the Citizens with a choice, either to
vote for a 5 mill tax for fire
protection, or to vote against a
5 mill tax, and lose all fire
protection.
The only way the Citizens
of Mountain View can have
continued fire protection and
reduced Insurance rates, is to
vote for a 5 mill tax, in order
to have funds to continue the
Fire Department on a paid men
basis.
If the Citizens vote in a 5
mill tax, please be assured that
at no time can the tax rate be
increased, unless you, the
voters, at a special referendum
called for that purpose, vote to
increase it. Neither the Mayor
and council, nor anyone else
has this authority. It has to
come from you, the voters.
Also, please be assured, that

Milo and Luman discussed all as
pects of the Braves and they reached
the conclusion that the Braves are
a team. Luman said they had worked
in spring training to play as a team,
not as individuals.
Well, the Braves' team went out
behind Ron Reed (6-0) and lost to
the Astros. 11 to 0. Reed, losing his
first game of the season, was fol
lowed by three other hurlers.
That doesn't necessarily mean
that the Braves as a team will not be
in the thick of the National League
pennant fight.
