Got breakfast this morning and put up my lunch.
Turned in my time card and request for reimbursement for dinner when I worked late Tuesday night.
Betty Vasil called me in and told me I was to get a $60 raise per month, to $830, effective the paycheck following the next one. She told me not to tell Dor. “These things go better administratively if no one talks about them.” Betty said she appreciated my attitude, that I was very helpful to her and to the company.
I did several memos for Maggie on the MagCard on recommendations to the Exec Company.
At lunch at my desk.
Went to the bank, deposited my check. Then went to PG&E and paid 2 more bills. I have lost the original bills and received a notice last night.
The afternoon was quiet. I wrote a letter of recommendation for Hilda and a letter to Vice-President Rockefeller, as requested by the Temple, thanking him for his speech made at the awards service, for the nation’s religious leaders.
I worked on yesterday’s journal entry, trying to put it on MagCard.
About 4.15 Bob O’Neill, who is floor warden for the department, came to tell us there was a bomb scare and security had ordered the building evacuated by 4.30. I went to the bathroom and got some water to put on my peanut plant, which is doing very well.
The bombing threat was phoned in to Mr. Johnson’s office. Valita took it. The bomb was supposed to go off at 4.45.
I left exactly as 4.30.
When I got home I finished packing, ate dinner and washed dishes.
Christians phones shortly before 8.00 and I hurriedly finished dressing and went to the Temple service with them.
Dale Parks, helped by the other assistant ministers, conducted the service.
A special feature was an African dance by the girls, Yvette Muldrow reciting “I Beg our Pardon, America.”
Several offerings were taken and finally Dale had to raise $500 more, which Jim said was available in the congregation.
Karen [Layton] asked me to go upstairs and help with some important letters. A number of members were writing to Mayor George Moscone and to the SF Chronicle concerning the appointment of Jim to the Human Rights Commission, which will be announced tomorrow. My letters won praise.
The service was still in session when I got downstairs. Dale was giving revelations received from Jim, among others, Vernell Henderson was saved from being stabbed on her way home tonight.
The congregation filed past and touched a picture of Jim. The meeting was dismissed at about 12.30.
Bob Christian had already put my belongings on the bus. Seniors, then others adults were allowed to board bus number 3 first, so I got a good seat in front.
We are not permitted to eat on the buses any longer, so I went outside and ate my sandwich and tangerines.
The buses left about 2.30 and I slept very well all through the night, awakening only at the first rest stop. The bus was quiet and though she was on the bus I did not hear Marie Lawrence.
