Oct 17 Sunday Lillian took the kids out to [sic] for a walk. They visited Krums and had a treat. Ed "Boss" Crump is dead at 80.
Oct 18 Lillian went downtown to apply for some home typing. Then she went to a parent tea at Sylvia's school. Eugene drew "Mister Shortstop" D. Decker, "Best Science Fiction Stories 1952" Bleiler & Dikty, "Forlorn River" Zane Grey, "Flight into Space" J N Leonard, "A Guide to the Moon" P. Moore. Lilian read "[An] Act of Love" Ira Wolfert.
Oct 19 The license came today and we drove out for the first time alone. We tried to get some masonite for Eugene at several places but failed. We picked up our typewriter at Kuhns - Webster Ave. near Fordham Rd. $6.13. We returned a library book and dropped off Sylvia at the "Y" for her dancing lesson. From there she went to Carol Schenkler's supper party. In the meantime the car wouldn't start again as we were parked on the Concourse and we were towed in to Kotler's. We left the car there for the battery to be charged up and inspected.
I believe Kotler's was the Chevy dealer that we bought the car from.
Oct 20 Sylvia went to St James while Eugene played with Bobby R. We called for the car and the bill was $11 for charging, presto, thermostat, etc. Hugh Duffy is dead at 87.
Perhaps "presto" was Prestone Anti-Freeze?
Oct 21 The truck strike ended with a 25¢ per hour package raise won by the strikers. In a dull fight full of clinches, Johnny Saxton won Kid Gavilan's Welterweight championship by a decision. The "kid" claimed the fight was fixed.
Oct 22 Eugene has joined the Math and Chess Clubs.
Oct 23 We picked up Molly and went for a ride to the Kensico Reservoir. Charles Skouras is dead at 65, Earl Whitehall at 54 and George McManus at 70.
