Dec 4 to Dec 8 The newspaper strike has brought a blackout of news. We saw pop Sat Dec 4 and Tuesday Dec 8. He felt pretty miserable until his stomach settled. He was out of bed Thursday and much better. Lillian is still on her diet and feels better. Eugene has done better in school since he started to put in more time on homework. The "Big Three" held the Bermuda Conference and decided to invite Russia for a four power meeting. A tornado in Vicksburg cause $25,000,000 damage. Hundreds of buildings were destroyed; hundreds were injured and 25 killed. Lillian read "Lie Down in Darkness" Styron, "Sing at My Wake" Jo Sinclair, "The Iron Mistress" Wellman. We both read "The Pedlocks" Longstreet and "I Never Grew Up" Cobina Wright. Daniel Gregory Mason and Allan Wardwell are dead at 80.
This is the first time Dad combined several days into one entry; since it overlapped a weekend, I'll publish just this, and the next post will end, as usual, on Saturday. Seems to have been primarily because of the newspaper strike, but also presumably because his father was in the hospital.
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.
