Put Glover’s Mange stuff on my hair last night so I had it washed early this morning.  Pauline was up.  Fixed my choir gown except for pressing – Bernard came by and Alyce Claire and I went over to Pete’s and Velma’s.  Caught them about to eat supper.  Played Hearts and laughed ourselves sick!  More fun – Back at 12:30!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

American  Missionaries John and Betty Stam were beheaded in the Chinese town of Miaoshou, after being taken prisoner by the Red Army.  Betty managed to hide their 3 month old baby,  Helen, in some sleeping bags.  She was found two days later by a Chinese Pastor and taken to her grandparents who were also missionaries in China.   Eventually Helen was returned to the United States and raise by her Aunt and Uncle.

A new Saturday Evening Post titled Airmail Pilot is out.
