flowers. The volume is pam
Drama of wild flowers" and a
treasure house for every nature
! lover that twill immeasurably
brighten the enjoyment of the
out-of-doors. The water colors
have caught the flowers in all
their color, pattern, and texture
to make such life like portraits
that the flowers can easily be
identified in their natural habitat.
The other is the priceless book
by Joseph Downs, Curator of the
! museum at Winterthur, formerly
the home of Henry Francis du
Pont. It's title is American Fur

OVERHEAD ARM
AIDS FIRE co.
Grange Purchases Arm for
Filling Tanks For
Rural Fires
AS COMMUNITY SERVICE

Work On the overhead arm, the
piece of equipment used at the
Senger Transportation Company
for filling milk tanks with water
to be used at rural fires, is being
completed this week. The Smyrna
Grange has provided this over
head arm as community service,
and in order to raise funds for its
purchase the grangers staged a
large public supper which they
served in the cafeteria of the
Smyrna School. The use of the
milk tanks to haul water to the
scene of fires in the country has
been invaluable to the fire fight
ers, reducing loss in rural areas
by providing the scarce commod-
ity, water. The arrangements with
the Senger Transportation COM
pany provided the rural area with
fire fighting facilities not avail
able in any other area in the
state. When the tanks were avail
able it was found necessary to
| have a proper gadget to fill them
rapidly and the Smyrna Grange
came forward with the offer to
/ buy the overheard arm which
facilitates the operation and is
invaluable in the effort to get
water quickly to farm homes,
buildings, and field fires.

PEOPLE ALREADY WANT CHANGE IN
WASHINGTON, kAETCALF CONTENDS

After only little over a year of
the Eisenhower administration being
in power "people already feel it's
time for a change in Washington, -
Cong. Lee Metcalf asserted Tuesday
evening in Townsend. Metcalf spoke
before meeting of the Broadwater-
Lewis & Clark County Farmers I'm
ion.
Celebrating, the first district con-
gresham pointed to the lack of prog
ress of the 83rd Congress in enacting
legislation of benefit to the general
public; the avoidance by the Admin
istration of coming to grips with the
problems of growing unemployment,
slackening farm income, reduced in
dustrial production.
Much of this governmental stale
mate, he contended is due to the Eli

he said is a 1.-TWO platoon squad
the "talk good boys" and the sac
ton squad" which all to frequently
find themselves at cross purposes.

No Co Ebat Troops To Ando China,
Saws mike Mansfield

Indochina, China would got into
Indochina and Korea"
Because he believes that the So
Wet Union looks upon China as an
ally rather than a captive country
Mansfield said there was great risk
that she would come to the aid of
China under their mutual assistance
treaties and thus bring about World
War III and "this country just could
not escape"
''The French will not win this war,
and with our aid they will not win
this war;" he contends.
Mansfield was shocked and APP
prehensive" over statements such as
those made by Vice President Nixon
that it was possible American troops
might be sent into combat.
The Senator thinks the French are
willing to come to terms because the
French people are "sick and tired"
of seeing their best officers and
their best men going away never to
return.
He expressed the belief that the
way to help people in underdeveloped
areas and win good will for the Unit
ed States is to transplant to them as
much as we can of our methods and
way of doing things so they can in
crease their life span, eat two meals
day and gain some security, by
way of Point ".
Isolation today is dead and
dead forever. Isolation and we will
die-without it we will live," he
concluded, "we must reach a solu-
ton by peaceful means, because if
we do not we will not be so lucky
as We have been in the past wars.
You can go any place in the world
in less that 4S hours today and the
time will be reduced. We are a
member of the community of ma
TONS"
Mike Mansfield spoke briefly on
the political situation nationally and
mentioned some of the Republican
promises that he says can not and
will not be kept. SIN the face of re-
alities,' he said, "they can not keep
their promise to balance the budget"
He said the promise to reduce taxes
had met opposition in their own
party and without the help of the
Democrats excise taxes would not
be reduced now. He said other
tax relief was in the form of
the ''trickle down theory that gives
benefits to the few, and that the
Democrats in the senate were behind
the George proposal because, ''we
think help is needed most in the low
income brackets, and we know that
it isn't the big shots that keep the
economy going. 1t is the little man
who keeps main street doors open"
He warned the Democrats, Don't
