Had breakfast.
Started work on the large type news edition, choosing review items which I judged of importance and interest to seniors and typing them up. In the adult class I showed the map as I had outlined it so that they could see the size of it. I explained details how we had done the drawing itself and we discussed the kind of stitch to use to put the separate cities on the sheet. I left the committee to decide whether we should use machine stitching.
They are to bring a sample of machine and hand work I also suggested different types individuals should study so as to learn more about Africa such as countries that have been British, Dutch, German, French and so possessions, history, main products, leaders. Lois later told me that Jim frightened them; they didn’t have any idea how to obtain this info.
Lois carried on with the class and several people who wanted to come with me to the other end of the pavilion cut countries out and made an extra copy of each as I want to keep one complete pattern as a safety measure.
Took my shower. Had dinner.
A film, which was not mandatory, was shown in the second school pavilion at night. Then For Whom the Bell Tolls was shown for those who hadn’t seen it. I spent the evening sewing and made good progress on my skirt.
I had heard earlier that Dick Tropp was looking for me. I went to the school office and left word that he could find me in the cottage. He later came and borrowed my typewriter which he said Frances Johnson would use to write some of the book, good stories our members have composed about their past experiences.
I went to bed about 11.00.
Vern took Mark to the movie tonight; then to eat (food is served before bedtime to those who wish it) and brought him home late. Edith couldn’t rest until he was in.
