Shivering Winonans could find solace this morning in the fact that weather history was made overnight The temperature dropped to ten degrees above zero early today--the lowest ever recorded on a November 2 since records were started in the city 51 years ago. To find anything even approaching it you have to go back to November 2,1905, when the mercury dropped to a not- so-cold 17 degrees above zero.

The temperature went down to nine above on November 10, 1326, and on November 9, 1921. It hit zero on November 19, 1932, and again on November 16, 1933, among the earliest on record--but a temperature of ten on November 2 has no recorded precedent. Snow flurries at noon today added to the city's wintryness, and occasional flurries are foreseen for Saturday with slightly rising temperatures. It will continue cold and cloudy tonight. The low in the city tonight will be 12, with the mercury dropping to eight in the country.

Expected high Saturday is 32. High in the city for the 24- hour period ending at 7:30 a. m. today was 31. The temperature climbed to 12 at 7:30 and to 18 at noon.

though such prominent Republicans as Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star, have declared Eisenhower is one of them. Just how much time Eisenhower will have here for talking politics --if any--remains unclear. As an indication Duff may not expect too much, he said he plans to go ahead with a scheduled trip to Paris in December to see the general there. Eisenhower's tight schedule calls primarily for visits to the White House and the Pentagon for conferences on the military situation in Europe, after he has visited his son at Fort Knox, Ky.

President Truman, who once said he would step out of the way if the general wanted to run for president, will have the best op portunity to talk politics to the ive-star visitor, if Mr. Truman wants to bring the subject up. The President already has said Eisenhower's assignment as com mander of the North Atlantic Treaty organization forces wouldn't allowed to stand in the way if he general has political ambitions. At the same time, Mr. Truman las made it pretty clear he doesn't OBITUARIES Death of Arthur 6.

Nearly half of the farm children under 18 are in families with four or more children. Only one fourth of the nonfarm children are in families that large.

The surveys also show that between .1940 and 1950 urban population increased 19 per cent, rural only seven per cent The West is the fastest growing area in rural population. In the last decade it increased 38 per cent. The South is still the most rural region. The rural South, however, in sharp contrast to the urban South, failed to gain population between 1940 and 1950.
