Sunday July 17 We spent the day at Woodlawn. I played some with Warren Burd and then doubles with Warren, Sylvia Cooke and Eugene. It was over 90°. Sylvia had a little cold and did not play. She made a criss cross puzzle.
July 18 Played some tennis with Eugene in hot weather. His forehand was very good.
July 19 No cavities - bill $9 The family went to Orchard Beach with Sarah & the kids. Sylvia's cold is much better. She will go in the water for a little while. Lillian has a cold now. The chiefs of the 'Big Four' Eisenhower, Bulganin, Eden and Faure had their first session at Geneva to work out a peace program. Russia promised to donate to Eisenhower's 'atoms for peace' pool. Eisenhower proposed a system of arms inspection to forestall sudden attacks. Eden recommended a mutual defence [sic] pact and a unified Germany. Faure asked for arms cuts and an intern'l fund to aid under developed companies.
July 20 The car's battery was dead today, and I called the AAA and then had a charge. Sylvia drew "Desiree" by Selinko which she hadn't finished. "Joan Foster, Jr" by A.R. Colver, "Girls Who Did" Ferris & Moore, "Sue Barton, Student Nurse" and "Sue Barton, Staff Nurse" by H.D. Boylston. The family was supposed to go to Orchard Beach but Eugene turned up with a sore throat.
July 21 I split with Levitan as Eugene went to play with Bobby R. Sylvia rode her bike. U.S. and Russian farm delegations are visiting each other's countries and being received enthusiastically.
July 22 Temp 96° hottest day of year. We picked up Sam & Molly who had just returned from the country and brought them here for lunch. Then all went to the Kingsbridge to see "Interrupted Melody" with Eleanor Parker and Glenn Ford and "The Bamboo Prison". Eisenhower asked Russia for exchange of all military blueprints and also aerial inspection.The Federal Court of Appeals barred loyalty evictions from Gov't housing.
July 23 Picked up Sam & Molly and drove to Rockaway Park. We bathed in cool temperatures as it hit the nineties in the city. Yesterday was record high for the year 96.8°. The kids enjoyed the bathing immensely, riding the high waves joyously. We met Sheppie & Ray on the beach then went up to Rosie's apt when we saw Kate and Abe Stein and Marilyn and Millie. On the way to Rockaway we stopped off in Bellerose and saw Lil & Susan.
