The Weather

Well have weather, whether
or not! The cold wave is over
at least this particular one-so
says the weatherman! Begin
ming Wednesday, the mercury
started crawling up and is pre-
dicted to climb more rapidly to-
day. The low point of the cold
wave was hit at 1880 A. M.
Tuesday when the thermometer
read 18 degrees in the city and
Is degrees in the suburbs.
For those who shivered under
their overcoats and couldn't get
warm by sitting on radiators,
it was a consoling thought to
note that our friends and neigh
bors who live in-and some
who vacation in-Miami were
shivering, too. A low of SO de-
grees was reported there on
Tuesday. Rumor is rife that
Milton Berle, Arthur Godfrey,
and the Lou Leimbachs are on
the way home "to warm up"

1t was the first time since 1885
and only the fourth time in the
history of the State that Republic
cans saw a member Of their party
become Governor of the State.
After formal taking Of the oath
with traditional pomp, the new
governor delivered his inaugural
address from a portico of the State
House, thus departing from tradi-

While the parade was in pro-
gress, the Senate met and confirm

Secretary of State. The governor
later administered the oath of Of
flee and then headed the receiving
line at public reception in the old
Senate Chamber. Later Governor
and Mrs. McKeldin held open house
in Government House which will
be their home for at least the next
four years. Behind Mr.. McKeldin's
assumption of the high office,
there is also story Of persever-
ance. Twice before, in 1912 and
again in 1916. he tried for Govern
or but was defeated. Between the
gubernatorial elections, he was
elected Mayor of Baltimore, in
1943, after having first tried for
the mayoralty job in 1880.
When John r. Reeves, Bethesda

rotary of State, precedent was
