7/15-7/21/51

July 15 Sunday Mom and pop took us over to Ten Mile River where we saw Eugene. We were delighted to find he was willing to stay the whole month. We had come prepared to take him home. His trouble had apparently been homesickness. He has lost a little weight. Eugene sleeps in an upper berth in a semi-open air cabin. The parents watched the scouts have their lunch and sing songs. Eugene was very pathetic as we left as is very lonesome for us and want us to stay longer. We decided to stop off at Lesser Lodge at White Sulphur Springs and see Lil Harry and the kids which we did. We started out 8 in the morning and made fine time all day except about 15 miles before the Bridge on the way home. There we ran into a traffic jam which delayed us so we got home at 10:45PM. Sylvia fell asleep in the car about 9:30. Arnold Schoenberg is dead.

This was the official "Visiting Day" at the camp. 

July 16 The Socialist Parties met and re-constituted the 2ND International. UN and "Red" mediators resumed negotiations for a truce in Kaesong after the "Reds" accepted all U.N. conditions which were unrestricted use of roads leading to the site, no armed personnel in the neutral area, unarmed security guards. Ten were killed and scores injured in a demonstration protesting Harriman's arrival in Iran. The nation's costliest flood in Kansas City saw 17 dead and hundreds of thousands marooned. A tremendous oil fire has added to the disaster.

July 17 Lil Sarah Madeline and Kay went to visit Sarah R in her new house this afternoon. Teheran is under martial law. Another parley was held in Korea in a friendly atmosphere. The indicted Communists bail was canceled again. Several cash bail offers were rejected.

July 18 A Korean agreement is said to hinge on withdrawal of foreign troops.

July 19 We have made a deal with Franco for Air and Naval bases. The "House" banned all controls unless profits are assured. Jersey Joe Walcott at least 37 years old and father of six won the Heavyweight title by K.O. over Champion Ezzard Charles in the 7th round. It was his fifth try at the title. 

July 20 Split with Warner. The House voted a 4 month freeze on wages and prices at the July 7 level. 

July 21 We went out to Echo Lake picnic grounds with Flo and Charlie Solomon in their car. We ate our lunch on a picnic table then spent a few hours in the cool surroundings. We then had supper in a chinese restaurant on Featherbed Lane. Sylvia chose an American meal. King Abdullah of Jordan was assassinated. Talks in Korea were postponed to Wednesday.   

Again, I can't get rid of the extra space at the end of this post.
