Sun, Nov 2, 1947: under fire

"Via the Hicks family I learn that I'm under fire for holding play practice on Wednesday eve.  Mrs. King mentioned while riding with them, that she would speak to her husband about the rehearsals which interfere with Baptist church prayer meetings.  Previously King, himself, had complained to me about the ministers who come around to object about holding school events on Wed.  All summer they provide no recreation for children, then in the winter they storm up to the schoolboard with their grievances, he says. So I'm not anticipating any reprimands."
