Paris finished the papering upstairs – with my help. He charged 70 cents per hor which amounted to $12.00. Took a breather at 11:30 & dashed down & did the washing – got lunch on table – ate – hung up clothes – back up to paste.
When Kathy got home from school went uptown shopping. Then up for pop & out to Seiters for cider. Took missionary gifts to Mildred Gorby.
Wally worked on accounts. We own $910 on the house & $930 on the car. Cashed bonds to clean up all other things & are now buying one bond a month as our savings. Wally’s salary is $310 per month with $28 per month out for income tax. The rent on the apt is $11.50 per week & I get $10 of this for food plus $30 from Wally. Total of $70 & I usually spend some of my personal allowance of $15 per month on it.
