Took news release on MAGS autograph party for the Midlams to News Life, Marion Star and Madge Guthery [WMRN]. Had a nice visit with her and toured her house to the third floor where Fred Guthery’s trunk is. She is willing it to the Marion County Historical Society! Didn’t seem to have much in it except 1864 book on Battle of Gettysburg.

Mayme Harmon called about 9:30. Steven Droure, Landscape Architects will be at Veterans Park tomorrow at 10:30. Be there!

Six “WorkFare” men (on welfare) out with Sandy Lucas of East Lawn Manor to dig trees for East Lawn Manor. Got about 20 ash from across road, a few Oaks from where Bent Oak fell in the river and sugar Maples from bank along road west of house. Lewis Bennett saw my cacti and came back to bring me opuntia. Had a pickup truck so I asked him to haul the 16-ft pieces of the greenhouse down to Hardy’s- 8 miles. Asked $5 but I gave him $10. Picked four quarts strawberries at Crum’s on the way home- $3.75. Baked shortcake for lunch. Planted delphinium, Coral Bells and achilla I got at Botkins in Urbana and mum’s I got at Kingwood last Monday. Also impatiens that I slipped from one’s set out before. Have all beds planted now except west of greenhouse. Will wait until new one [greenhouse] is up.

Dave took English exam and ACT final on computer- averaged 18. High in math- low in English. He mowed with big mower for 2 hours. I trimmed.
