What I saw REVOLTED me. It didn't last much more than five minutes, but while it was going on it would have pass ed in North Dakota, for a bliz I STEPPED to the window and closed the Venetian blinds, then dived back into the current of the news. This dispatch, dated at San Francisco, was the first to catch my eye: "Rail and motor traffic over the Sierra Nevada was halted to day by a blizzard that buried highways and tracks under huge mounds of snow . . . FOUR PER SONS DIED IN THE STORM . A The blizzard quickly closed Highways 40, SO and State-395 . . For the second time this year, the SP's main transcontin ental line through Donner Pass was temporarily abandoned. "Rescuers battled through 30 to 50-foot deep snowslides to ward a lodge in Mono county where 125 guests and employees were snowbound." AND so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. Do you know what day this is? It's the 19th day of March and tomorrow will be the 20th. Counting leap year and such, SPRING OUGHT TO BEGIN THE 20TH DAY OF MARCH! A year ago we were well into summer by this time. BACK to the teletype again! My eye fell on this item: "HOT STORY UPCOMING ON BIG SURPRISE OF THE YEAR. SWALLOWS FAIL TO RETURN TO CAPISTRANO." I'll say this for the swallows. They're smarter than I - gave them credit for. - rpo HECK with the weather. - Let's get on wtih the news. This one clicks off the wire from New York: "Here's the new spring hat creation for lady supporters of General Eisenhower: "A light blue faille pillbox beret with red faille piping and a red ribbon cockade on the left front, decorated with an "I Like Ike" button.

DELICIOUS HOME MADE PIES AND DINNER ROLLS Now doesn't h, men? A RE YOU familiar with Alex ander Pope's Essay on Man? If so, you'll, recall this stanza: . -"Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, "As to be hated needs but to be seen; "Yet seen too oft, familiar . with her face, "We. first endure, then pity, . then EMBRACE." I suppose it works the same way (so far as the men are con cerned) with the ladies' millin eryespecially the hats that bloom in the spring ,tra la. When first described in the fashion dis patches, they sound like some thing culled out of Milton's Paradise Lost, or De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium Eater. Or perhaps the abominations of just plain, ordinary nightmare. But Oh, shucks! You know what happens. First we tolerate 'em. Then, after a measure of time has elapsed, they get to looking CHIC! Maybe it will be that way with the Ike beret. AHA! The teletype, after spending the early moming hours on the weather, finally gets around to the political news which today centers in Min nesota.
