A. E. Ike - Symbol of Peace The tremendous success of President Eisenhower's peace tour in India and the Middle East last week not only is a personal triumph for him, but it also represents great recognition for every American citizen. The adulation and acclaim that Ike received in India. is not the same type of greeting he would receive in Europe, where he has and will continue to be greeted as a personal friend of many and to all a hero and great military leader of World War II. In India, many of the multitudes that trudged long miles to catch a glimpse of the great American president, did not even know who they sought to see. Some thought he was \Hoosevelt\ . or the son or grandson of \Roosevelt.\ Others thought he was the Mahatma, the great souled king of peace. Literally millions of Indians who acclaimed him did not know his name nor who he was. They did know though, that he represented peace and a better standard of living and freedom from starvation. We think that for these multitudes tp acclaim Ike is a rare compliment to the American people and to the ideals for which this nation stands. No, many Indians did not acclaim Ike for who he was or what he had done—rather they greeted him because he represented a symbol—a symbol of hope, a symbol of peace and a symbol of a better standard of living. As such a symbol, President Eisen- hower only served to become a focal point for the many ideals for which this nation stands and is known the world over. Ike's triumphal tour also presents a challenge for the future. Is Murray Weakening? Is Montana's venerable Sen. James E. Murray weakening? Last weekend a press report from Washington elicited the information that Montana's senior senator had contracted to have a public opinion survey made in Montana to assess opinions of voters for his proposed re-election campaign next year. Several prominent democrats have suggested that the senator retire with honor and enjoy his remaining years basking in the re- flected glory of the service he has given to this state and the nation. His age—he is now 83—and health are the main reasons prompting these suggestions. If Senator Murray is so worried that he must employ poll takers to weigh his chances of re-election, perhaps he is weaken- ing and may yet bow to the suggestions that he retire at the end of his present term. 1960 Jury List Being Prepared County Conunissioner Jesse W.

Most Textbooks Now Modern, Long Tells Board Most of the textbooks now in use by students of the Thomp- son Fals elementary and high son Falls elementary and high schools are modern and as up to Everett W. Long reported to the board of trustees Monday night. He said that in the elementary grades the language, science and arithmetic books are \as up to date as we can get\ with 1958 or 1959 copyrights. The reading textbooks for grades one through six now are all of the salne series and provide a desired con- tinuity of teaching material as students progress through the grades. Long said the social sci- ence texts in the elementary grades were not as modern as desired. In the high school, he said new algebra, trigonometry, bookkeeping, Spanish and U. S. history textbooks have been purchased. New English texts for the first three years have been obtained and next year new texts will be obtained for the fourth year of high school. World history books will be brought up to date as they be- come available from publishers, Long said.
