THE SNOOPER The last couple of days has noted the arrival of Ole Man Winter possibly because he has become Incensed over the activities of many plants and animals which have never before invaded . his allotted time of the calendar. But. if he intended stopping it, he will be disappointed when he hears about the little. English Hardy "Primrose wtfich MRS.' LOLA T.EMPLETON found gaily blooming in her yard on'. North State street this morning, 'regardless, of the chilly temperature. - 1 - . MRSVtEMPLETON said, "This is the first time I've ever seen this flower bloom or show any sign of life at this time of year. It usually makes anf appearance -in spring and at this time of year generally looks dried, and deadlooking." Violets, primroses, snakes . . .. there is a rumor afoot now that the Indiana General .'Assembly will act on a bill petitioning for the moving of the MasonrDixon Line northward to include all territory south of ,the Wabash River headwaters if the frosty boy doesn't decide to stay this time.

We've noted several instances of late where people have installed SPOTLIGHTS to bolster their falling headlights and when passing them head-on it is almost an im possibility to see the highway. SPOTLIGHTS are powerful lamps and have no facilities for dimming. It's just as dangerous for the person using them as for the ones they meet on the road during the hours of darkness. They may be considered CHEAPER than the average headlight but in the long run will prove FAR MORE COSTLY. Herbert Zink Dies At Hospital Saturday Night Herbert H.

WOULD PHOTOS ARE SOUGHT FOR ATOMIC CONTROL

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Dec. 30 (UP) A United Nations committee recommended today" that the UN take aerial pictures of every part of the world where atomic materials could be mined or manufactured. .V, The twelve nation committee, detailing a program for preventing ' illegal manufacture . of atomic weapons, also called for ground inspection of all suspect areas, and international management of plants handling atomic materials in the late stages of processing.

Agreements on those matters are essential preliminary to tho fundamental business of the new congress. That is to lay out anil to enact a legislative program. Taxation, government spending and labor legislation top ' the program.
