Miguel Mariano Gómez

Cuban President Miguel Mariano Gómez vetoed a bill that would have introduced an army-sponsored 9-cent tax on each bag of sugar to fund the construction of rural schools run by the military. Gómez explained in his veto message that it was “the duty of the educational and not the military institutions” to teach Cuban children. Opponents of Gómez immediately began impeachment proceedings against him, accusing the president of trying to unconstitutionally force congress to defeat the tax bill as well as embezzling public funds.

Got “Fiesta in Mexico” by Erna Ferguson.  Asked for Woolcott’s “While Rome Burned” or his “Reader” – No luck on them – cleaned my room.  Somehow the sun always seems to shine brighter after I’ve cleaned my room.  Changed the furniture around again too.   had a sore throat since Thursday so I bought another bottle of stuff to gargle.  Read Erna Fergusons “Fiesta in Mexico” until after 10 P.M.
