George Stafford birthday
Sunday School – Observed in primary department at Rev. Holloway’s request & didn’t find too much wrong. Emily Barnhart – Supt – is alss adult pianist & so isn’t there for the opening. Mary to church & brought Kathy home from Jr. Church so I stopped for a chat with Mother & daddy. Incidently, my verses were not in Miss Weakley’s Citizen column.
Light dinner of bacon & eggs & then back to Mother’s to play ping pong & make out order for plant hands for daddy. 2,000 seems a lot. I beat Wally all but one game but Mary beat me always. Took her to the bus at 4:20 – Home for a nap & then got ready to go to church for debate. Took Mother & Kathy & Aunt Lily who came just as we were leaving.
The debate was superb – “Resoilved – Home Missions Are More Important Than Foreign” Adn although I won 25-16 Dail & Dick M were very pursuasive. And the ad lib was worthy of Bob Hope – I even got compliments on being a good moderator.
Read “Modern Miracle Men”.
Helen Benjamin came while I was at church & paid her bill – My letter got results!
