 New government in Iraq; Mar- ines landing in Lebanon: possible overthrow of one more reigning monarch pro-West in Jordan-the relentless march of Egypt's Mas ser hand in hard with Russia's Kruschkev-with a possible sum- init meeting between the big pow CTS on the Middle East question this is the picture this week.
 Generally speaking, the people of the United States back Eisen- hower's plan for the summit meet ing. Generally too, they back him on landing troops in Lebanon. Most observers believe nothing will come of the summit talks. What does Kruchkev want? It's clear as refined oil he wants to pinch the pipelines to Europe. But 1t is also clear that neither the East or the West want war, de- spite the fact that Israel, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and the Persian Gulf Sheikdoms are being bombarded with shockwaves of propaganda from Radio Cairo and Radio Mos. COW.
 The paltry few millions it's costing to maintain Marines in Lebanon may be cheap price to pay for dubious peace
 On the domestic front, the pic .ture is improving.
 Due to present economic recoy- cry across the nation, the U. S. deficit for fiscal 1859 will be $5 billion instead of $10 to SIP bil- lion predicted earlier. =. Govern ment outlay, too, will be less-a total of $71.9 billion instead of $73.8 billion.
 Vice-president Nixon is men, toned strongly to replace gift-re- ceiving Sherman Adams as spe- cial assistant to the President, in the event, the former is replaced .... The Senate'S labor reform bill is expected to be pigeonh0led by the House committee .. A new car is to go into production, this one by the Checkers Motor Corporation (cab makers).

provesa wet one Last month. for the same amount of rain, the average was chalked up as 13.3 and you know what happened. It rained regularly, continually, con- stantly and almost without ceas- ing. Clear days recorded in the previous years summary for July was 4.6, which was just about what it was last month. The sum- mary for August is ST. so you see we will have about one more day of sunshine. What are you going to do with it?. OK, OK, before we get in bad with the Chamber of Commerce, we'll say no more.
 THE WAGS HAVE IT. Some choice sayings gleaned from the press: Alaska is 46 years old, but she doesn't Anchorage. ..... "The most photogenic town in Alaska is Kodiak Don't Juneau?) .... Did she Kiska me or was it only an Aleutian?. ... Does Hawaii want to be state?" II don't know, Alaska"
 MIXED UP POLITICS. From all reports appearing in the news recently, neither party appears to have reached as yet that political maturity" so necessary according to a recent speaker here. There has been considerable maneuver- ing of party candidates in both parties, in the coming elections, and it doesn't seem to be a ques- ton of who is best qualified for the job SO much as who is the best vote getter. This method IS to be deplored for new state tackling the momentous job of forming a new government in the frame work of an untried constitution.
 We still think the two party system, with it's checks and bal ances, is the best-but we think the emphasis has been put in the wrong places The man and his abilities for the particular job is still by far the best criterion by which candidate should be selected by his party and certainly the best for the voter to bear in mind when casting his ballot.

Acting Postmaster Bill Lamme has come up with the reason why it took Christmas cards recently received from December to July to get here from Homer, dis tance of approximately 125 miles. He says in part: 'The cards in question were found in supposedly empty surplus bags put into use again in Boston and discovered with the tied packet of cards at the bottom It means someone at Christmas time did not shake the pouch hard enough (we under stand even Santa Claus has this trouble) and the cards were left in, the pouch later went 10 the surplus depot in Seattle, much later got shipped to Boston before being put into use again.

Thanksgiving .....

(These the words from the 1868 Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation Of President Dwight d. EsenhowerO
Eve are grateful for the plentiful yield of soil and
for the blessings Of food and clothing and shelter that have
succored us throughout the year.
I'VE rejoice in the beauty of land in every brave and
generous of fellow and in the counsel and COM
friends We deeply appreciate the preservation of
those ideals of liberty and justice which form the basis of
life and the hope of international peace For these and
the many spiritual and temporal benefacons betokening
Gods goodness offer up prayers of gratitude
Let us be especially grateful for the religious heritage
bequeathed by forbears eXempfied by the Pill
grms Who after the gathering of their first harvest set
apart special day rendering thanks God for the boun
ties vouchsafed to them.
Let us in homes and in accustomed places of
worship give expression of thanks for the blessings
which have sgnazed lot nation and let ask for
guidance in striving for better world for all men,
There's nothing really about Thanksgiving AS de-
cared church publication this week. Maybe the most
striking truth is simply that there nothing In world
that strives constantly for change the most encouraging fac
life could very well be the that there
things that don't change Humanity and the basic laws which
govern our world have encouraging stability Our God is
God of order There's really nothing to give thanks for
year And that could we'll be the best possible
for giving thanks
So let humby give thanks in best traditional
manner.

Dick Stuck To Be
Next Eagle Scout
Qualities For Award At
Council Board Of Review

Richard Stuck, fifteen-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Stuck,
of Second street, Oakland became
eligible to receive the award of
Eagle Scout following a council
board of review in Cumberland
last Tuesday evening.
Stuck, a member of the Oakland
Explorer post, has been in clubbing
and scouting for the past five years.
He was one of eight explorers
and scouts to qualify for the award,
but was the only one from the
Deep Greek district.
After passing the required
twenly-one merit badges all scouts
applying for rank of Eagle must
go before the council Board of Re-
view for final questioning as to
their service to their church and
community as we'll as to their
troop. Records of all eight boys will
be forwarded to the National Scout
council for final action. Eagle
badges will be awarded by the
sponsoring institutions, in the case
of Stuck, by the Oakland-Mt. Lake
Park Lions club, as soon as the
national headquarters gives its
approval.
Stuck is a sophomore student at
Southern. He will be the goth
Eagle scout for Oakland troop 81,
which came into existence in 1924.
Stuck has enough merit badges in
addition to those required for
Eagle scout to obtain an Eagle
palm. He is on the Southern High
honor roll, is active in football and
basketball and is a member of
the Methodist Youth Fellowship.
He also is working toward his
God and Country award in
scouting.
