Papa & Rosalia are fixing fence along the road this morning. I noticed this morning that Lester Gregson has a new truck to haul milk, now. There was 2 ladies here & wanted something to eat, there machine broke & they & the family had nothing to eat, so we gave them a half loaf bread & sausage, they didn’t have no money, some gas station gave 2 gals. to go on they said. I seen in the paper that Mrs. George Schilling got $50 for the turkey’s that was killed by stray dogs. Bill Haudrich & Florence Buss where published last Sun. for the first time. Hecker ball team where lucky last Sun. they both won, one at Valymer [sic] & the other with Hecker & Red Bud. Papa drove up to Barthel’s to get the Whippet repaired. Eggs are 14¢ now. Alvera Braun is awful bad sick the way we heard, she is in bed all the time now, swollen so bad.

There sure was a pretty rainbow in the west this morning. Wilma Birkner was here & brought a pattern. We had a nice shower rain this afternoon. I seen in the paper Red Finnerty died, he was the mail carrier at Burksville. It was a pretty lucky day last Sun, for the Hecker Baseball Teams, Athen’s & the fist [sic] team played 3 to 4 in favor or Hecker, the second team played Round Prarie [sic], 3 to 1 in favor of Hecker. There where 2 young chickens killed on the hard road today.
