Nov 15 Sunday Lil, I and Sylvia walked over to the Amalgamated where we stopped in on Rochel's seeing David also. Mayer was out working. Rochel spoke to us about her rift with Ida and mom and pop.
Ida was Rochel's (fraternal) twin sister.
Nov 16 Lillian has a cold and Eugene is home with a stomach ache.
Nov 17 Eugene returned to school. Pop had trouble passing his urine yesterday and went to Montefiore after work. The doctor advised an immediate operation. However today mom and pop went to the W.C. office and made an appointment to see Dr Opkiar [?]. The doctor had pop admitted to Beekman Hospital. Ex-President Truman made a nationwide telecast defending himself in the H.D. White case. He charged Att'y Gen'l Brownell with lying about the case. He claimed he had retained White in order to "get the goods" on him.
Nov 18 I stayed home from work (vacation) and took Lil to Dr Holzman as was [sic] distressed, bloated with gas and belching incessantly. The doctor put her on a diet, ... for several days. If she is not better he advised a gall bladder xray. I then went on to Beekman Hospital to see pop. He was feeling better today. He had had xrays and tests. Brownell and J.E. Hoover attacked Truman and denied his story fo the White "espionage" case.
Nov 19 Eugene's first H.S. report card had 1 E. - math, 1 G - English, 1 Fair and 3 passing. Lillian felt a little better today. The I.L.A. retired Ryan under indictment for embezzlement as president emeritus at $10,000 a year and elected Capt. Bradley as the new head.
Nov 20 Pop was operated on yesterday. He ran a temp of 105° afterwards and felt miserable today. He could not hold down anything he ate.
Sylvia went to the library Thursday and drew "A Touchdown for Doc" Marion Renick, "Victory for Jill" A.E. Walden, "A Summer to Remember" E.A. [sic] Karolyi, Donny & Company E. Kinsey.
Dad did start a new paragraph within this entry.
Nov 21 We saw pop again and he felt a little better but still ate little. The kids went to the Lido while we went down. They saw "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and "Blueprint for Murder".
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.
