Sept 6 Sunday Molly and Sam came over and we had Chow Mein and Egg Foo Young then watched television.
Sept 7 Labor Day Mom and pop, coming home from the country, stopped off here as usual and had lunch with us. They had a wonderful trip the first week through New England then stayed at the Gradus Hotel for a month. We watched Tony Trabert beat V Seixas in a a great upset 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. Maureen Connally d. D. Hart 6-2, 6-4 Miss Hart & Seixas d Rex Hartwig & Julia Sampson 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Seniors W O Maxwell d. H. Hopman. In the morning I played tennis with Eugene. After the National Singles we saw "Moulin Rouge", the story of Toulouse Lautrec with Jose Ferrer at the Kingsbridge. West German elections saw Chancellor Adenauer's Christian Democratic Union win a decisive victory.
Sept 8 We went to Warner Theatre today to see Cinerama. It was quite enjoyable being one of the new varieties of three dimensional films composed of technicolor shorts.
I remember seeing Cinerama; one of the shorts was a ride on a roller coaster. It was very realistic; I remember quickly closing my eyes.
Sept 9 I beat Berman this morning while Eugene played football with Larry, Sylvia played in the playground with Norma and Lil went over to Molly's to help with the supper. In the evening we went to Molly's seeing Mike Evelyn & Isabel amd Milton & Shirley & Seth also. The kids horsed around a little. Seth thawed out near the end of the evening. Chief Justice Vinson is dead at 63.
Sept 10 Rosh Hashanah All we did today was take walks on Fordham. Sylvia exasperates us continually by refusing to be even normally amenable.
Sept 11 We went to mom's for lunch. Lil Harry and the kids also there. The kids got souvenirs of their grandparents trip to New England. The Carpenters Union returned to the A.F.L. Durkin quit his post as Sec'y of Labor in protest against the Adminstrations reneging on its agreement to seek Taft Hartley law changes.
Sept 12 We got Sylvia a raincoat at Alexander's $5. and oxfords size 6B $5. and boots - red $4 at Miles. Lillian read "The Scandalous Mrs. Blackford" Kane & LeClerc and "The Build-up" Wm. Carlos Williams.
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.
