"Woodrow
and Maryjane brought Philip and Carol out Sat. evening to visit for
awhile. They are really little
busybodies. They like to ride Foxy and
would keep some one busy watching them all the time if they could.
"Daddy
had the German prisoners helping three days this last week. He got most of his oats cut and shocked and
his alfalfa cut again and put in the barn.
They are pretty good workers but you have to have them back to El Dorado
by 6:45. It didn't work out so well with
the hay because it was cloudy and damp all forenoon and they couldn't work at
it until afternoon. So Daddy gave all
four of them a hoe and had them cutting weeds around the yard. Then by working real hard they got the hay in
the barn but Daddy was a little late getting them back to El Dorado. Brown K.
and Barbara put the last load in the barn by themselves."

about 20 miles north of Bloomington.
Five days earlier, on June 21, Allied secured control of Okinawa in
their island-hopping advance toward the main islands of Japan.
