11/2-11/8/52

Nov 2 Sunday We saw Sylvia who was off the bed and very cheerful. Her great desire is comic books (funny ones) of which we have gotten her about 20 this week. Mom and pop, Molly & Sam and Lil also were over to see her. We all went to Moms from the hospital where Blume and Abe and Anne Mac and the kids also came over. We had delicatessen. Eugene who had gone on the annual Camporee at Alpine came over about 5 o'clock. He had cooked and eaten his round steak there and played football.

Nov 3 Sylvia was fine and rarin' to go home today. Chinese troops hurled back RoKs from Triangle Hill. French losses were great to the Viet Mihn in Indo China.

Nov 4 Election Day Mom and pop took us to Lebanon Hospital where we picked up Sylvia and took her home. She was in fine spirits and looked well. She got more comic books on the way home. Mom and pop stayed for lunch. Later Evelyn and Isabel came with many presents for us all. The kids played piano, monopoly and Eugene taught the two girls chess.
                                                  Presidential Election
Eisenhower Rep.  33,927,549      E.V. 442    States 39 (Final)
Stevenson   Dem. 27,311,316                89               10 (Incompl)

In one of the greatest sweeps in our history Eisenhower became the first Republican president in 20 years. "Ike" carried       states. Republicans took control of "House" and Senate by a narrow margin. The A.L.P.. dropped to its lowest level.

Dad left a space to fill in Eisenhower's total states carried, but apparently forgot to fill it in, although he did write it in the "table" above. He also wrote only the headings in red, but this blog interface insists on making the whole thing red. . 

Nov 5 Sylvia must take Vipenta drops for 25 days to make up for her hospital stay. She helped Lillian make cup cakes today. She drew "Rufus M" E. Estes "Seatmates" M.K. Reely, "Fairy Tales" C. Perrault, "All About Marjory" M. Cumming. Adolph Sabath is dead at 86.

Nov 6 Eugene got a 40% in a Literature test and we got a note from his teacher saying "What Happened".

I don't know

Nov 7 Lil Altschuler came over for a visit this evening.

Nov 8 Mom and pop over for a while. Then we went to the Valentine to see Alec Guinness in "The Man in the White Suit" where he invents a "permanent textile" and "Yankee Buccaneer" with Jeff Chandler.
