Nov 17 Eugene didn't go back to school today as his nose was stuffed and the weather was bad. In the afternoon we went for a drive and had our first car wash. The car wouldn't start at one point and we called the A.A.A. but it started before the man got here. Apparently, it was overflooded. Noel and Herta Field have followed Herman Field into freedom from an "Iron Curtain" country prison. Sylvia recently drew "Whoa Matilda" Janet Lambert, "One for the Money" J.

Heinlein, "True Tales of Pirates and their Gold" E.R. Snow and "Imagination Unlimited" Bleiler & Dikty. Also "The Jacksonian Epoch" CH Peck for his book report. Eugene got a chill in the morning with 101° fever and felt very sick. We couldn't reach Dr Holzman so his associate Dr Halley Rahne [?]. He said it was an incipient pneumonia, gave him a penicillin shot ($10.) He prescribed terramycin and a cough mixture ($6.). Lillian read "The Narrows" Ann Petry.
Nov 18 Eugene felt better and his temp. was normal today. We had Dr Holzman to check him. He found no congestion in his lungs or chest but a bad sinusitis. He prescribed Alkalol, argyrol packs and privine. I read "Disturber of the Peace (Mencken)" W. Manchester.
