July 4 Sunday Molly and Sam came over with ice cream as usual. Sam & Eugene watched the ball game. Reginald March is dead at 56.
July 5 Mom and pop took us riding to the "Adventurer's" first where we had hot dogs, french fried and hamburgers. The kids played the machines but were limited to about 50¢. Sylvia won a little sewing purse. Eugene got life savers and a pencil. Then we rode to the Kensico Reservoir. We went back to mother's where we had supper including blintzes. Mom and pop took us home and came up for a while.
July 6 Played some tennis with Eugene this morning. In the afternoon Sylvia went to Walton for swimming after failing to get in twice in the morning with Susan Kaufman. She met us at St James where I beat H. Levitt. Lillian came over from Alexanders and we all played the Post word game.
July 7 Lillian saw Dr Holzman because of her stomach upset. He found only a great deal of acidity, but recommended a gall bladder Xray. Gabriel Pascal is dead at 60.
July 8 Lillian had the first in a series of gall bladder Xrays at Dr Schechter's in the Royal Hospital Building - $15. This was through the Federation Plan. Eugene went to the library with Sylvia and drew "Sports Golden Age" - Danzig and Brandwein, "Rider of the Midnight Range" W. Ermine, "The History of Astronomy" - G. Abetti, "The Story of Pro Football" H Roberts. Sylvia drew "Victory for Jill" A.E. Walden, "Meet the Malones" L.M. Weber, "Mystery of the Hidden Book" H.F. Orton, "Take a Call, Topsy" E. Headley, "Bright College Year" E.B. Sherman, "Kathie, the New Teacher" LG Rosenheim.
July 9 Lillian had more Xrays of her gall bladder. Sylvia went to Jerome Pool with the Kaufmans. I played some tennis with Eugene and Irving. The Porto [sic] Ricans who shot up Congress got sentences of 16-75 years in prison.
July 10 Sylvia & Susan Kaufman bicycled up to Woodlawn and met us there. I played with Eugene and split with Warren B. Pop came up and lost a chess game to Eugene.
Surprised that I bicycled to Woodlawn How would I have gone? Follow Jerome Ave to the end and then continue on a bit; wasn't that road without sidewalks and with plenty of traffic?
ReplyDeleteI would guess you'd have gone past the Reservoir, and then reached Jerome. There are definitely sidewalks up to Woodlawn now (Google Street View), don't know about back then.
