Headache! Mrs. Starkey took Kathy up for a while. Daddy came to get her at noon & took her over to mother so then I went to bed & slept until about 3:30 when Wally brought her home./
Felt better toward evening. Mother & daddy came over. Mary went to Columbus tonight to take her exams for the WAAC tomorrow & Thursday.
Daddy helped me fill out final report on “Ways of Teaching”

Girls brough 19 books for USO campaign. 7 of us took them to library afterward. Mrs. Starkey down couple of times today & is nice to talk to.
My Better Homes & Gardens came today. It usually comes around the 20th or 2 weeks ago. – Maily delay?
Got busy on Girl Scouts materials Evelyn gave me. There is over $16 in the treasury & I think it should be spent. Made out a tentative order.
Wally brought home ice cream after the J.C. meeting.
