July 25 Sunday Mom and pop took us over to Woodlawn. Later pop came back and lost a chess game to Eugene. Mom and Sadie also came back with pop and just caught Al & Edith and the kids who were driving away. Danny is extremely quiet but adorable. Debby is an independent little devil who wanders all over and comments on everything. She wore out everyone going to the water fountain. I lost a chess game to Al and beat Warren B. at tennis and played with both kids. Eugene also played with Carol Buhr.
July 26 Eugene went to Dr Holzman's for his pre-camp check-up. Lillian had to stay home to wait the truckmen for Sylvia's trunk. Sylvia went swimming. William MacLeod Raine is dead at 83. Lillian read "A Cry of Children" J.H. Burns. We both read "A [sic] Doctor Looks at Life" P.J. Steincrohn.
July 27 Sylvia went swimming, then we went to the library where Sylvia drew "By-Line for Josie" R Saffron, "Where the Heart Is" J. Lambert, "New Worlds for Josie" K. Worth, "The Treasure in the Little Trunk" H.F. Orton. Eugene drew "New Tales of Space and Time" R.J. Healy, "Introduction to Astronomy" R.H. Baker, "I, Robot" I. Asimov and "Wildfire" Zane Grey. U.S. in retaliation for China's downing of an Amer. plane, brought down two Chinese planes which attacked U.S. searchers for survivors of the first attack.
July 29 Lil and Eugene went down to the 'Y' at 53rd st to see Sylvia off for Camp ... Eugene gave Sylvia his ball point pen in a generous gesture. ... I tied with Gene Zalazny at St James. Last night Lil and the kids went over to Sam & Molly to say good-bye. They also saw mom and pop. Mary Church Terrell is dead at 92 and Jim Bagby at 64. Eugene played ball with Larry.
July 30 Eugene went to Jones Beach with the Rubinsteins. He had a wonderful time, but came back with an earache.
July 31 We called Dr Holzman as Eugene said his ear hurt when he blew his nose. He had no temp. Dr Holzman told us to put glycerine in his ear and watch his temp.
