Mary Jo’s Birthday- felt lot better but I didn’t get up till noon.   Went to Grady’s for dinner and walked Rosamond and Pauline down to the bus station.  Lavora and I went to “Follow the Fleet”  with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.  I felt guilty about going when I hadn’t been to church bit I felt all right afterwards.

Hitler set two conditions before Germany would agree to send an envoy to a conference on the Rhineland dispute. First, Germany would have equal rights with those of the other powers present. Second, the powers would immediately enter negotiations for peace pacts with Germany. France was infuriated by the second condition and insisted that no such peace proposals could be discussed until German troops were withdrawn from the Rhineland.

This day rather runs from yesterday with only 5 1/2 hours sleep.  After eating “brunch” we all and Paine’s went to Monument and Hobbs to view the oil fields.  Then Alyce Claire and I struck out for Roswell.  Got here just after seven!  The best weekend I’ve had in many a moon!  I’d got to Lubbock again at the drop of the proverbial hat.  It is a great place to shop besides being a pretty town of 30,000 –  Somehow all the time we were there I kept thinking of Carsey, expecting to see him around the next corner.   It is a queer feeling – Particularly when you have reason to believe he is over 1000 miles away!   Mrs. Grady is back in her shop and I am glad!

Letter from home telling of having “dinner on the grounds” on Sunday for Dad.  Also news of a wire from Jaime that he is all right.  Pay Day so I paid too many bills and I may have to borrow later!  Who cares!  Sent off letter for magazines.  Get “Good Housekeeping” for 3 years and “American Home” for 4 years!  Have decided against the Ins. that Mr. Moen carries.  Saw “Three Kids and a Queen” with Mary Robson but Henry Armetta ought to have gotten more of the credit. He is really good! Wrote to Jaime and home.
