home whenever I want to. It was nice to have Leone and Jack help me occupy this house for a little while last night. I'm not having such a hard time to live in it today. Miss Gardner and the boy were just here to get some things she had left in the attic. Little Jim bumped Bill's bicycle & broke two spokes. The doctor has been consulted twice, I've loaned pliers, string and advice. Miss G and Jim have gone on and Bill is still busy at the front door trying to fix things up to his satisfaction before he goes home -- as his folks told him to do! It is too bad Bill has such an eye defect. He had them enlarged surgically this summer and they are better but still very noticeable. I took a pair of scissors to Ardy this P.M. She lost them in my car Tuesday and I had not remembered to tell her. She was busy packing to go to Minn. She hoped to leave about 4 o'clock and drive as far as Albert Lea tonight. Then on to Minneapolis by noon to enroll tomorrow. She will have her Sioux City roommate for the first two quarters if they can find an apartment. Mr Woodside seems more spry now than he did. Would you believe he has had his seventieth birthday?
Jewel and Richard Blabnik were at Cong church this morn and I talked with them briefly afterward. He will be called soon and Jewel is trying to get used to the idea. Richard's brother, sheet metal worker and sokol athlete joined the navy some time ago. Now he is in Navy Hosp. for past four months with the incurable Hodgkins disease. Dick sure feels tough about it and it is such
