AUGUST 25

1939 10:00 I’ve been hoping that Ray would call (he is supposed to be in town for a few days – pretty soon) – doubt very much that he will (Things are getting worse between Poland + Germany- It really looks like War)

1940 Sun Bill + I really had a nice date for a change (Eleanor called this morning. She has a $5 a wk raise – We’ll be earning same amt except for her bonuses + overtime) It seems awfully funny. Sari + I went for a walk –

1941 Mon We walked down to Vermillion. I enjoyed being useful, for a change. Mr. Eide mixed colors, we painted. – I was on a scaffold

1942 TUES WENT to THE DENTIST… MUST HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS DRILLING FOR OIL… FINALLY got BLUE DOWN TO WHERE I WANTED it… JEAN CAME AFTER ME tonight AND I WATCHED HER BLOCK… funny HOW SHE ISN’T ON Leonard’s SIDE ANYMORE…

1943 WED.
