Ice, Snow, Cold Hit Midwest
Northerly winds with gusts up to 55 miles an hour whipped a Canadian cold wave into the Midwest today, churning up snow drifts and dust storms in some areas.
The State Highway Department warned of extremely hazardous road conditions over the entire southern half of Kansas as the weather bureau predicted continued freezing drizzle.
Highway officials said sanding crews spotted along the state's highways about every 25-30 miles were on the job today, but no major traffic arteries had been closed.
The weather bureau issued a special advisory at 9 a.m. It called for "freezing drizzle in the southern two-thirds in the east and the southern half of the state in the west to continue into this afternoon until the precipitation changes to snow."
"Dangerous road conditions are developing south of a line from Kansas City to Garden City," it said.
The Highway Patrol told no accident directly traceable to slick roads had been reported early today, but troopers were alerted to conditions.
The weather bureau said a dangerous glaze covered major roads between Topeka and Kansas City, and an icy mist hit the Hutchinson area, making roadways hazardous to traffic.
The regular forecast of the Topeka Weather Bureau called for continued precipitation of some form, accumulating to two to three inches of snow in portions of the east.
Temperatures were expected to plunge to 10 in the east and to fall rapidly below freezing in the southwest, where the mercury hovered higher earlier today.
Open House At Nursery
The Infant Study Center developed through the KU home economics department will hold open house between 2:30 and 5 p.m. Sunday. Oliver Hall, 1126 Louisiana, has been completely renovated to house the center.
"About 30 families are participating in the program." Mrs. Luella M. Foster, assistant professor of home economics, said. "The purpose is to give Child Development students a chance to study, and in some cases participate in, the care of children from birth up to two years of age."
"There are 150 Child Development students and 16 Child Care and Guidance prenursing students this semester. The prenursing students are the only ones who actually help in caring for the children."
"We have two-and three-month old babies who visit the center only once or twice a semester. The older children come once a week for an hour-and-a-half in the morning. Five or six children come with their mothers to the center each day."
Mrs. Margaret Brown, Quenemo graduate student, is the teacher in charge of the children under Mrs. Foster's direction. Each day one mother helps Mrs. Brown with the play program. A snack is served to the children midway in each play session.
"The center has a playroom for

LONDON- (UP)—Lt. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler said today Egypt was slowing down clearance of the Suez Canal by imposing restrictions on the number of salvage vessels he could use.

He was always a very happy and jolly person who was well liked by everyone who came in contact with him.
Blood is collected and distributed

Lab Assistant's Secret Dies With Him
Two fraternities are having the blood of all members typed for future emergencies as well as current donations. Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has undertaken this project annually, and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity started its program last fall.
This is how the late Robert Gunter, laboratory assistant at KU for 34 years, was described by his friends and associates.
Mr. Gunter was a German immigrant who came to America and became successful even though he never had any formal education.
"He was a jolly person and one who made life pleasanter for students and other persons whom he worked with." Miss Kathleen Doering associate professor of entomology said.
tied down or become specialized in any one thing as is so often done today."
Among his many hobbies were bee keeping, gardening, cabinet making, fishing, and also an interest in pest control.
Mr. Guntter started as a laboratory assistant for the entomology dept. in the early 1920's and remained in this position for 34 years. He reached the retirement age of 70 two years ago.
"He was an expert cabinet maker until arthritis in one of his hips forced him to abandon this hobby." Miss Doering said. "He made beautiful hand carved tables and wall cabinets.
"Bob, as he was known to the students, was always ready to give them a little help on their insect collections or on any other projects which were in his field." Miss Doering added.
During the last five years before his retirement, Mr. Gunter developed an exclusive and secret formula for preparing specimen in plastics.
It was his work in making plastic preparations that put him into the news.
Although this plastic preparation process is very valuable, and he often gave talks on how he used it. Mr. Guntert never wrote down any details of just how he did this wondreful work. Thus, the secrets that he used in the process are lost.
Miss Doering described Mr. Guntert as a man with "Many hobbies and a wide range of interest. "Perhaps," she added, "this was the reason why Bob always seemed to be so happy. He never let himself get
This process was difficult to use if the end results were to turn out successful. Almost perfect specimens were needed and then Mr. Guntert would work his magic on them which will preserve them in perfect condition for many years.
He was a great fishing enthusiast. He made fancy artificial files for other fishermen and after his retirement he raised fishing worms to sell. He also started working in the pest eradication business.
Mr. Guntert prepared many insect specimen for the entomology dept. However, one of his biggest achievements was that of making a plastic preparation of a cross section of the human torso for the anatomy dept.
TV, Automobile Scarce In Russia

Other luxuries listed included automobiles, fine chinaware, works of art and Bokhara rugs. But radios, phonographs, cameras, sports goods, musical instruments and books "have become necessities," it said.
