Calm and cloudy with dark rain clouds in the South and East. Mary had her Car cleaned and looking Nice and new. I told her we would sure get a Big Rain that is usually what happens when Car is fresh cleaned. President Roosevelt's mother died during the night. She was 83 years old. I have been busy trimming and training Vines around the Cistern and Back Porch. Scripture read I Thess. 4. Hebrews 12:1-3.

But it was cloudy until 6 P.M. when the Good Will Parade passed here and prevented may from going to Custer City for Band Program celebrating the Terminus of Hard Surfacing Roads.

54 Cars In Caravan to Custer City
Approximately 50 cars from Clinton and four from Arapaho joined the caravan Monday night on the chamber of commerce's goodwill trip to Custer City, celebrating the opening of the hard-surfaced road between the two towns.
Featuring the appearance of the Clinton city band, under the direction of R. A. Lloyd, the program included several short talks by Clinton and Custer City men.
Another feature presented was a men's quartet, composed of Lawrence Wise, Bernie Ray, Dr. Harry Cushman and Elgin Kern, singing several old time numbers and an appropriate composition about muddy and smooth roads.
R. E. (Bob) Roush served as the master of ceremonies. Short talks were made by Mayor V. F. Carleton of Clinton; Mayor Gene Kopp of Custer City; Everett Arney, C. F. Lowry and County Commissioner Henry Hays.
Arney said the new road would bring about closer relationship between Clinton, Custer City and Arapaho.
Hays invited the people of the county to attend the county fair at Arapaho this weekend.
