ToDay is the Birthday of ___________

My check came today.

Got telephone calls this morning, one from Millie, and one from the High School. Farmie Davis called up this afternoon.

Rain and snow today, wind south.

I was going to go to town this afternoon to pay some bills and do some other errands, but it stormed so I gave it up.

Betty got our supper after she got home from Hanover.

Took the 7 pm bus over to drill tonight and I find that I am to have to give up submachine gun to someone to be picked in the second squad, as they are to be the reserves till July, so I am going to take my own Remington pump 22 gun.

Hope I get a letter from Bobbie tomorrow.

10:30 pm, I wonder where Thel and the girls are.
