Feb 3 Sunday We spent the day indoors. The kids took turns playing pieces on the piano. Then they cut out a circus from the Messing cup cake box.
Feb 4 The "Red Smear" hit Newbold Morris who is to investigate corruption in the gov't. Harold Ickes is dead at 77.
Feb 5 Peace hopes in Korea rise as Communists made some concessions.
Feb 6 J.J.Moran former Deputy Fire Commissioner was found guilty on 24 counts of extortion and conspiracy. Wellington Roe is dead at 53.
Feb 7 Sylvia and Susan Kahn got 4 votes each for president of their [class] but Susan won when the teacher threw a ticket to decide. Sylvia burst into tears when telling Lillian about this after trying to hold them back. King George is dead at 56.
Feb 8 Eugene got his report card. He passed in science (65) following his previous failure (55). Again his appearance at the Boy Scout services at the Synagogue at night won him praise. The American Legion has chosen Sarah Lawrence College for its latest witch hunt. The Board of Ed. chose Rev JM Coleman and Col A Levitt to try the eight suspended teachers.
Feb 9 Evelyn and Isabel came over to spend the night here as Evelyn's mother is critically ill. Norma came up and the three girls played, drawing pictures. Germany voted to contribute troops to a European Army but on equal terms.
My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.
