tory is like man who has lost his
memory. If that is the case number
Of our Montana communities must be
suffering from amnesia and on the
surface there seems to be little rem
edy for the disease.
Almost nowhere in Montana can peo-
pie 90 to a bookstore and buy book
which tells how their town and district
first came into being and why it has
developed in the way that it has Few
neople can even find such a book in
their public library. For too many
communities, such books just haven't
been written.
For instance, there are numerous fine
books of "reminiscences by cowboys and
cattlemen who roamed the early range
lands of eastern Montana, a recent one
being Back Trailing on Open Range"
(195D by Luke D. Sweetman. There are
also number of accounts of pioneer
ranching in Montana. One is Wander
song" 1880 by Eleanor Bands, the
story of Henry Mcdonald, an early day
Judith Basin sheep rancher and his
wife. There are stories of ranching ex-
periences today, such as ''Tune on the
Aspen Leaf f195D by Gladys Bibee
Price. which tells how a family trans
formed an OLD Flathead Valley home
stead into a modern ranch.
The general histories of Montana also
throw light on the history of localities.
One Of them. the History Of 1885,"
contains wealth of fascinating detail
about the Montana communities which
were then existent, but, because of its
early publication date, there is little
about eastern Montana.
This isn't true, Of course, Of the
"Montana State Guide Book" published
in 1889, which is a treasure trove Of
information about the states towns and
points of interest. Unfortunately the in
formation if gives is all too brief
What many Of US would like to have,
in addition to books such as these, is
a full-blooded history of our own town
or community, rich in basic facts, m
coIorfuI detail and in local lore, and
Of these there are but few. There
should be more. The materials for such
books are often hidden but they are
not entirely buried They can be found
in volumes like those mentioned above,
in periodicals like our own Montana
Farmer StOckman, as well as the more
specialized Montana Magazine of His
tory, in official reports, in early news
papers, in private letters and diaries
and, most important of ALL in the
memories of the communities Old
timers.
In 1947 a group of people got to-
gether to explore what they knew
about the history of one section OF
northwestern Montana. The result was

Trend Is Toward Larger Families for American Women

LOS ANGELES, R-A UCLA sociologist says if today's birth rate is maintained American wom- en may have families as large as their grandparents and great grandparents.
 Dr. Ruth Reimer, who has made an exhaustive study of birth rates, cited these trends:
 Last year more than 100000 American women had babies. AL most as many were having their second child as are having their first. This is the first time since accurate birth records have been kept that this situation has oc- cured. A surprisingly large num- Der of women had their fifth child last year.
 Says pr. Reimer:
 ''Not only are women today having more babies than their Jazz Age and Depression Era par ents, but they are having them at an earlier age. Statistics show that one of every two married women already has a baby by the time she is 21."
 Dr. Reimer believes the trend

opposed putting "any deadlme on the President"
 The Republican congressional leaders also seemed to disagree somewhat-at least in emphasis on prospects for a 1856 tax cut.
 Martin said he hopes Congress can put through tax reduction that will benefit "the so-called lit tie fellow" if the budget can be balanced.
 KnoWland spoke in more re- strained terms, saying he hoped a balanced budget might make pos sible some modest additional tax reduction.p
 Martin stressed his second-term views were his own. He said he did not discuss the questioW with the President
 But Martins opinion almost ex- actly paralleled the one expressed by Republican National Chairman Hall after meeting with Eisen- hoWer week ago.
 Hall then said he though Eisen- hover would seek reelection Eff he feels he is able"
 Martin said his talk with Eisen- hover was devoted mainly to the legislative program for the com ing session of Congress. He said he and the Chief Executive talked over these issues ''just as start" on the next sessions COP pro- gram:
 l. Highway construction. Martin confirmed the administration is willing to abandon it's program of financing large-scale highway expansion substantially by bor- rowing and will seek a compro- mise with the Democrats on some sort of pay-as-you-go plan.
 2. School construction. Martin said it's obvious the federal gov- ernment has to pay a bigger share of school costs than in the past.
 3. Tax Reduction. He said this should be possible if the budget is balanced and added the Repub- licans want to make sure the So- called little fellow gets his chance at it."
 4. International trade. He said the President is determined to ex- pand trade under the tariff powers granted him at the last session of Congress.
 5. Farm problems. Martin said the difficulties thrust on farmers by falling prices will "get action" at the 1856 session of Congress. He did not give any details.
 Martin, an early advocate of waging next years campaign mainly on television, said he was confident Eisenhower could run in 1856 without overexertirlg him self" He said he thought two or three addres' as on teleViSion would be all the President needed to do to gain reelection.

Congressional Leaders Views Vary
 On Second Term for Ike, Tax Cuts

GETTYSBURG, Pa, RASenate Republican Leader Knowland of California said Saturday he doubts that President Eisenhower has de- cided yet whether to seek sec ond term. But House COP Leader Martin of Massachusetts predicted Eisenhower will run if his doc tors approve.
 The two leaders made their comments after separate confer enceS with the President.
 Knowland, who has been men toned as possible aspirant to the Republican nomination if the President bows out, said he hopes Eisenhower will give the country ample notice" of his intentions.
 Indirectly, Martin appeared to disagree with this position. He said he believed that Eisenhower would seek a second term flor the worlds sake" as long as the doc tors say it's all right. But he also

ish Labor Committee, Jewish War
Veterans Organizations, the CEN
tral Jewish religious bodies and
81 of the local Jewish Community
Councils-which together COM
prise the National Community Re-

addressed identical letters to the
Majority and Minority Leaders in
the House and Senate urging
prompt enactment in this session
of Congress of ''an adequate
housing measure" and a bill to
provide Federal funds to aid med
ical schools.
At the same time, the Jewish
organizations urged the inclusion
of a provision which would bar
such Federal aid to housing pro-
jects or medical schools which
practice segregation or other
forms of discrimination. "Such a
provision by way of amendment
can in no sense be regarded as
ex!raneous," the Jewish groups
pointed out. Absence of such a
guarantee in housing bill would
directly foster and finance racial
discrimination. This would be un-
thinkable in light of the basic
protection against such inequality
to which the American people are
entitled"
