In 1938, this Tuesday is Election
Day, as it is in 2016. In Mary's day
though, it is a low-stakes midterm elec-
tion five years into Franklin Roosevelf s
presidency, not the historic polarized
fiasco we are dealing with present day.
Mary is busy with night school this
week, sends loads of flowers to friends,
and goes to the dance in Victor. She
ends the week in Olalla, celebrating
her brother Henry and sister-in-law
Vina's 31st wedding anniversary. En-

Monday, November 7, 1938
A rainy morning but the sun came
out and Charlie had all the white
clothes dry and I came down and then
I starched the rest of the things and
cleaned some sweaters and hung them
out and after night school took them in
and found them almost dry. The work
up at the store was not so great today
and although Sam was in Shelton to-
day and did not get home until two, I
was able to get all the extra work done
and even cleaned the house. To school
and practiced quite a lot on the num-
bers for I surely need it. Home and
folded the towels and then did some
writing. Can't for the life of me find
out what to give a two-minute talk on
next Thursday. Mrs. Gladwin is try-
ing to take the diplomas away from all
the teachers at the school and there
is a special meeting about it. She is
always stirring up something and now
that Mr. Newkirk is home I suppose
she will have a lot of assistance. Too
bad he did not stay in the East, but he
could not get any work there.
