11/22-11/28/53

Nov 22 Sunday Sylvia didn't want to go to Sunday School as "the teacher talks and talks and that's all".

Nov 23 A six day siege of smog and smaze here was ended by rain and wind.

Nov 24 Lil felt better today. Dr Holzman has asked her to continue her diet for another ten days. Lil and I saw pop today. He is getting better every day.

Nov 25 Eugene drew "Sentinels from Space' E.F. Russell, "Five Science Fiction Novels" - Greenberg "A Primer for Star Gazers" HM Neely, "Captain Horatio Hornblower" C.S. Forester. The UN Security Council with the U.S. concurring but Russia abstaining voted 9-0 for the "strongest censure" of Israel for its Kibya raid on Jordan which resulted in 53 deaths. Israel's appeal that the censure would interfere with proposed Israel Jordan negotiations was turned down.

Nov 26 Thanksgiving Day Lil and Sylvia went with Molly and Sam to Lil Altschuler's. Eugene and I visited pop who was feeling better then went on to Lil's also. Also present Mike Ev and Isabel, Thelma Harold and cute Andrea, cynosure of all eyes, Mr & Mrs Siegel, Ray and Vera.  

Nov 27 Sylvia and Norma went to the Kingsbridge to see "A Lion in the Street" [sic] with James Cagney and "So This is Love".

Nov 28 Sylvia went to the library and drew "Rowena Carey" Ruth Holberg "Carol Goes Backstage" H.D. Boylston "The Young Barbarians" HR Sattley "A Sundae with Judy" Frieda Friedman "Whirligig House" AR Wright and "The Discovery of Canada" by L.J. Burpee for her school book report.

A picture, scanned in below along with an enhanced version so we can be seen, was taped here in the middle of this entry, with the following caption, followed by the rest of the day's entry:
