Mr. Pederson died after operation.
Feeling a little better. Spent most of morning at hospital, trying to get medicine.
June Cheape asked me to do duplicate bridge with her, but I haven't the guaranteed time.
3 cards from Auntie.
News of the new Labour Government: school-leaving age to be raised; no one allowed to earn over £2,000 annually; essential services - railways etc. to come under Govt. control; unemployment benefits altered; expectant and nursing mothers to be fed and housed etc. It all sounds idealistic.
Meeting in Bartons' room. Mum came and other guests. I'm now President, Elsie Bidwell vice. Brother F. Grimshaw talked about papal infallibility,
Alice, Mum, Peggy and I played bridge.
