Saturday Aug 28 Aletha Knapp Stone's baby was born this morning at 6-45 daylight savings time. It is a little girl and we all do so hope that both of them will get along nicely. Sarah is up at Camp Arden, Brattleboro Vermont Visiting the Morrises and playing in the "Piper". She will be so pleased to know of the great event. The State Conventions of the American Legion being held in New Haven today yesterday and Thursday. Big parade this afternoon. I stayed in town to see it, although we closed the store at noon. Went out home then T.P.H. and I drove back down town to send some flowers out to the New Haven Hospital to Aletha. Mrs Clemington Carson of New York swam the English Channel today. Her time for the distance was 15 hours and 28 Minutes. She is the second woman to swim the channel this month (both Americans). Gertrude Ederle covered the distance August 6th in 14 hours and 31 minutes - which is the record.
