Wednesday December 19, 1934

Played for Mrs. Martens to sing at CCC Camp.  Went out in Bernard’s car with Mrs. Hanson.  Mrs. Martens and a Mr. Cooley – The gentlemen sang a chorus – very good program.  Came back and we three went to to Pete and Velma’s for our usually hilarious time. Letter from Jonathon, made me decide to get the family something for Christmas!

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

A brave rescue at sea saves 16 lives from the ill fated S.S. Usworth and Japan withdraws from the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922.
