Left Van Horn at 4:30. Jamie told me he thought he had a chance at the El Paso office in Chemistry!  Surely hope so!  At Pecos saw Bill MacDonald from Vegas – Rode part of the way with one of our negro teachers.  Got here at 12.  Ate lunch – Slept nearly all the time until 8 – Alyce Claire came then. She had a grand time.

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

(No Post today) I’m sure she is overwhelmed with the first week of school activities.  We will soon find out where she will live and who she befriends.  Stay tuned!

Here is what else was happening 80-years-ago today.

The 8th Nuremberg Rally formally opened in Nazi Germany. Adolf Wagner read a proclamation written by Hitler which first established the concept of a “Thousand Year Reich”, declaring that the Nazi revolution was complete and there were to be no more revolutions in Germany for the next 1,000 years.

11,000 public transit workers went on strike in Tokyo, Japan

 

 

Now lets go back an entire century!   I found another article written by her father the Rev. JP Lancaster about the family’s adventures while living in Torreon, Mexico during the Mexican revolution.   See the Escape from Mexico page.  Elizabeth was 4 at this time, her mother Elsie was pregnant with Ditty – her third child.  **I am beginning to translate the article which is very hard to read.  Check back regular for updates.

(no entry) We know she is spending time with family in El Paso and preparing for the move to Roswell for her second teaching job.  Her next entry is tomorrow!

A look ahead: She is getting ready to leave for Roswell.   I’m surprised how often this teacher stays out late on a work night. And we find out what movie inspires the latest dance craze!  

Here’s a look at what was making headlines 80 years-ago today.

President Roosevelt signed the Guffey Coal Act and the Revenue Act of 1935 into law.

The Reichsmusikkammer banned non-Aryans from playing in German orchestras.

Nazi Germany ordered workers under 25 years of age to surrender their jobs to older unemployed men, especially fathers of large families. All employers would be required to submit reports to the labour office divulging the number of workers they employ under the age of 25 and what measures they would be taking to replace them
