Left about 7:15 for Akron & the glad show. Took Walthouse (daddy’s boss) to New Haven. Really some grand glads – lots of new varieties. Burma especially (found out later it sells for $5 a bulb) Had dinner & fine visit with Aunty Sylvia. Jill there. Dropped her off at Barberton. Home about 9:30.

Met 3 Scouts & did shopping for hike. About 13 of us left for Rademon’s from the school about 10:30. Girls not very responsible when it comes to the work of a hike. About pooed out when I got home. Worked in yard & garden & then Walt & I both pitched in on the house & really got it in pretty good shape.

Went out to Bertha’s this evening & she gave me a bundh of pictures, books, worship material to use while she is in the Navy. Mildred Gorby also there & got her share, too. Sure did appreciate it.
Talked to Bert Shirk about making ice cream candy for us for fair. Then to Ration Board – Can’t get sugar because we didn’t have stand last year! There goes my trip to Boston.

Mary & Bob Johnston & kids, us & Kathy picked up BBB & Rosina for picnic at Brush Ridge Park. Boys played ball, kids got in poison ivy & we girls talked. While remembering BB gave me the kiss he had hurriedly planted on my forehead after a Hi Y dance 10 years ago. Went in at BB’s – did exercises to some records. Seems too bad all this has to be broken up.

BB & Rosina, Wally & I went to Columbus for a last fling. Shopped in afternoon – Ate at The Fashion and took in “This is the Army”. BB really let the car out going over interurban fill- “To heck with 35 mph speed limit – I belong to Uncle Sam & he put it up to 60” – Stopped in Delaware for sandwiches & they came in up here for coffee. Sure will miss these good times with him.
