As usual I have a stew about the opera but as last year I decide I’d better not. I was born to have some extra money but never quite seem to have it. Jaime has a date so he won’t be too disappointed. A gang is coming to El Paso from Van Horn. Maybe Eula is one of them

The cold wave is almost over – for Chicago
Chicago Daily Tribune Jan 24, 1936http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/05/dear-einstein-do-scientists-pray.html
A young girl named Phyllis wrote to Einstein on behalf of her Sunday school class and simply asked, “Do scientists pray?”
January 24, 1936 Dear Phyllis,
I will attempt to reply to your question as simply as I can. Here is my answer:
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
However, we must concede that our actual knowledge of these forces is imperfect, so that in the end the belief in the existence of a final, ultimate spirit rests on a kind of faith. Such belief remains widespread even with the current achievements in science.
But also, everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.
President Roosevelt sent a short handwritten message saying he would not sign the Adjusted Compensation Payment Bill, explaining that it only differed in two respects from the bill he had already vetoed at the last session. Prior to this note, Theodore Roosevelt had been the last president to write a veto message by hand. The House promptly took a vote and overrode the presidential veto by a count of 324 to 61.

President’s Birthday! Went to the dance with a dress salesman whom I met in the afternoon- he sold me a good-looking dress due here in the middle of March. But he didn’t want to dance, or meet anyone else! Brrr. Wanted to go to the hotel and have a drink – I played solitiare instead and at 12:30 we were bored enough to come home. Double -dated with Charlotte Klyng and some tall Swede who was a salesman too. I never spent a worse evening even when I was sick! He (Fitch was my date) didn’t want to meet any of mine or Alyce Claire’s friends and he was full of stories that he’d like to tell but wasn’t sure I’d enjoy! And I didn’t. Am I ever a prude! but I like to dance when I have a date to a dance. Got home and to bed by one o’clock. Bought a dress from Fitch – Be glad when it arrives – One spring outfit anyway!
