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.

Has rained for two hours solidly with much thunder and lightning.   Had planned to take Jean and Ethelyn  to “Anthony Adverse”  but if this continues we may have to wait until Tomorrow! Repacked my bags into Dit’s steamer trunk.  Had to go to town on Image result for anthony adversea sightseeing bus because the streetcars couldn’t run – the tracks were completely covered with mud, rocks, etc.  Met Jean and Ethelyn at the Park.   The show was grand!  Claude Rains as Don Louis, Fredric March as Anthony and Olivia de Havilland as Angela were outstanding.  I think I never saw a more hateful character than Faith. Got home about 7 and the rest of the family was just getting ready to see it so I went down (rather than stay alone) and saw it again!  Twice in one day is enough for that.  Got home at eleven – Paper says it rained 1.99 inches at Ft. Bliss. About that in Fort Hill I imagine.

(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.

A little bit to look forward to in the coming months – she hopes to get her own apartment in Roswell – it’s harder than you think.  And you’ve heard of school overcrowding – wait until you find out how many students are in her homeroom class!

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

The Challenge International de Tourisme aviation contest opened in Warsaw, Poland

In an address to 2,000 Catholic nurses, Pope Pius XI commented on the Abyssinia Crisis by saying, “A war of sheer conquest and nothing else would certainly be an unjust war. It ought, therefore, to be unimaginable – a thing sad and horrible beyond expression. An unjust war is unthinkable. We cannot admit its possibility, and we deliberately reject it … if it be true that the need for expansion and the need for frontier defence do exist, then we cannot forbid ourselves from hoping that the need will be met by means other than war.”

Some more about the W.A. Carsey Family.

 

Carsey family 1953: From left: Alan, Norman, Elizabeth, Tommy, Arnold, Frank
Carsey family 1953: From left: Alan, Norman Elizabeth, Tommy,
Arnold, Frank

Elizabeth and Arnold married in 1938.  They celebrated 47 wedding anniversaries before Arnold died of a stroke.  They have four children – all boys.  Weldon Alan was born in 1939 and earned a BA in Electrical Engineering from the University of NM.  Norman was born a year later and attended the University of NM before going into business with his father and Alan in Flagstaff, AZ.  Alan went on to purchase a campground in Maine and Norman retired from the Westinghouse Nuclear Facility in New Mexico.   Frank came along in 1943.  He and younger brother Tommy, born in 1946, went on to earn PHD’s.    Frank earned his Doctorate in Physics from UCLA.  He worked on experiments in Antarctica.   Before retiring, he was published in several scientific journals and even appeared in two scientific documentary’s.  Tom has been published in many journals as well for his research for NOAA in the Coastal Ecosystem Group and Ocean Chemistry.   Grandma was so proud of her son’s.  She said she was only waiting for one to receive a Nobel Prize!nobel

 

Obviously intelligence was not on short order in the Carsey household, with two teachers at the helm, it was probably expected.   Please remember, Grandma taught Spanish and English – they were probably the only scientists and engineers with proper grammar!

Throughout their childhood, the Lancaster siblings were also a strong influence for the Carsey boys.   They grew up knowing their aunts, uncles and cousins.   Many keep in touch to this day.   In fact, since I grew up in the same town as my grandparents, I was also privy to the Lancaster’s special connection.   We would often attend celebrations where the group would open up singing “Hallelujah”  at the top of their lungs – often with wine glasses raised in the air for a toast!  Such love and fun!
