Oct 5 Sunday Sylvia and Norma went to the Playground. After the ballgame we went out to get them. Eugene and I had a catch.

Oct 6 Stalin appeared at the C.P. congress in Moscow.

Oct 7 Profs. Slochower, Shlakman and Reiss were fired in haste by the Board of Ed. Lillian read "The Hunter" - James Aldridge.

Oct 8 Stevenson pledged "to" smash the Communist conspiracy. Sam Goode repaired the couple of keys which were not in tune. Now Eugene can practice which he had refused to do. The kids went to Dr Robbins. Eugene had no cavities, Sylvia one. Total cost including Xrays and cleanings for them - $15. However, Eugene has a mal-occlusion and needs straightening.

The McCarran Comm. interrupted Cyril Graze's hearing to serve him a subpoena for further questioning. Mom and pop came over in the evening. Sylvia blew out the candles on her birthday cake. Dr Louis T. Wright is dead at 61.
