1937 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A WHIP SMART YOUNG WOMAN STUDYING ENGLISH AT A WOMEN'S ONLY COLLEGE PARTICIPATING IN ITS TIME HONORED TRADITIONS AND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE GRAND CITIES OF PRE-WAR EUROPE

19370009136MEREDITH COLLEGE RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA NC. Very Good. 1937. On offer is the lovely and interesting diary of a young female art student studying at Meredith College in Raleigh North Carolina. Her name is Anne Pateat and she is quite the character describing her life in a comprehensive and lovingly detailed way writing of her many adventures and readings her thoughts on art and shakespeare and a myriad of other ripe topics for a young womans mind in school to think over. She is obviously quite the student as evidenced by the fact that she is a member of Silver Shield Honors Society Junior Editor of The Acorn a campus literary magazine member of the English club and Field Hockey team and an avid participator in the Meredith College Crook Hunt in which the Junior Class of which Anne and her friends belong hunts for a crook or shepherds staff hidden by the senior class. It is a tradition that has been in Meredith College since 1906 and the diary is filled with numerous attempts to find the crook on campus. When 10 Oclock P.M. came around almost 6 of us started crooking and we were the usual sorry sights. We walked down the R.R. bend when we came to the highway. Maxie leafed around like a kangaroo and some one in a roadster stopped to find out what the trouble was. He went on when we started tearing back down the tracks. The next gentleman who stopped to investigated backed his car up and sat on the tracks and stared at us for several minutes. We were scared to death at first and ran wildly in all directions - but finally we stared him down - still no crook. While at school her life is filled with frequent work for her English classes lots of Shakespeare Robert Browning and other formative authors. In July Anne takes an exciting trip across the Atlantic on the famous Queen Mary to London Paris and then Edinburgh. On board the S.S. Queen Mary and we almost didnt make it! We went down to the dock at 10 to be early for a 12 oclock sailing and lo and behold the thing pulled out at 10:30! Shudder shudder at the thot of missing it! It is quite the most wonderful ship I have ever seen Her trip across the Atlantic is well and humorously noted and when she arrives in England she writes the long awaited day is over and the family is together! And what a family! They took peculiar to me and they primped on me because of the way I talk - so it goes. My first impression was that they all looked pale - but they improve on acquiescence and keep me roaring with laughter. She even takes to calling her family the thundering herd. Her trip makes up the last two months of entries in the journal and contains detailed accounts of everything seen and done in the European cities visited. Boy oh boy oh boy! have we done Paris! The entries stop on August 21 but pick up again September 9th. I vowed to start this little animal again when school commenced and it did in a big way. However only two entries were written before it stops again. Finally on September 20 she writes Im making another brave attempt at keeping this poor thing alive! but only a few days later on October 1st she writes her last entry in the book after which she stops writing in the journal for good. The diary as a whole is an absolutely fantastic look into the life of a strong humorous artistic young woman in the last few years before WW2. Its a fantastic document of Meredith College of pre-war America and Europe and of a wholly unique life. The front and back cover are in good condition showing some scuffing and wear but are still very structurally sound. The pages within are free of major discoloration rips or tears. The handwriting is legible and readable throughout in blue ink. There is some fading of the ink at points but it does not affect legibility. The book is approximately 380 pages in length of which around 300 have writing. OVERALL: VG. Sample text: Friday May 28 1937. The last exam is over and Im a senior in College! Wonderful day this afternoon. I went for my final hour in the library and it felt wonderful. Lee took me down to Macs for supper and we drove around for a little while. Carl was there for supper and was right much fun.After I came back this P.M. I sat in the course and talked.; Friday June 4. Most of this day I have been closeted with Kristen and its got me going - this morning I did tear myself away from it long enough to go to town with Pris and buy me some silk to make a suit and 2 patterns - the things will be real pretty when theyre made up. Every time we tried to get stuff to match the blouse for the suit wwe had to bike out to sidewalk with a bolt of cloth to see if it was o.k. By light of day. At 12 we went to the Doctors Office and I got stuck with a typhoid shot. The only insult I can see or feel is a sore arm - I guess sleepyness is just my natural state. Pris went to a bridge party at 3 all dolled up in a leg bow hat among other things - and she came home without the Prize. Happy has gotten so that she has to be scratched in a very winsome manner - It rained dogs and cats this aft and eve for a while.; Tuesday August 10. Boy oh boy oh boy! Have we done Paris. This A.M. and aft. we took a conducted tour around the city and did Napoleons Tomb hes buried in 6 coffins to prevent desecration saw Heloise and Abelard Mussets tomb a beautiful memorial to the Dead drove around the exhibition etc. This aft. we went to Notre Dame and saw the exquisite rose windows. There are some cardinals hats hanging in the ___ and when they fall from old age the souls of the deceased are supposed to leave purgatory. And this P.M. from 9 until 3 we have done the night life and have we done it! Several cabaret's and ended up at the Moulin Rouge dancing. The floor show there was grand and so was the orchestra. An English girl was the only other girl besides me so we didnt lack for partners. The Champagne flowed without cease. After the Moulin closed we ended the evening at a street side place with coffee at least I did. The Eng. girl was the only one who spoke French so we all had a charming time.

Addie E Bowden PodransikBiblio.com

1937-1941 Diary of an Unremarkable American Housewife Living and Travelling in Pre-War America Maintaining an Awareness of Remarkable Global Events

19370011001Chicago Illinois Brookfield New Hampshire. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1937-1941. Hardcover. Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 365 pages; On offer is a fine 5-year diary written by a woman in the years leading up to America's entry into WWII. The author is Addie E. Podransik. She was born in 1876 in Illinois and married Wallace Wilson Robinson on October 28 1903 in Chicago. They had one child together. She later married Joseph Nikolaus Podransik. They had no additional children. Addie passed away in 1951 at the age of 75 and was buried in Brookfield New Hampshire. Informal research has discovered no additional biographical information about Mrs. Podransik. Her diary is written between 1937 and 1941 and she recounts the day-to-day events in her life mentioning many people and a number of places they visited travelling across the United States of America. This diary is an excellent portrayal of the life on an ordinary American housewife in the pre-war years. In her diary Addie makes reference to major global events in the context of her unexceptional daily life. For example she writes "Cloudy all today. Isobel and John left after 11. Joe gone to . Painter doing both rooms all with a coat to match cupboards and rest of new woodwork. Annie & Paul down this evening We listened to the King's speech" Oct 25 1940. As war time approached she maintained an awareness writing "I went to Hughes for dinner. Home at 6: 30. Had such a nice time but news on the radio Japan fired on U. S. Ships. War declared" Dec 7 1941 and "War declared today and Joe's and my anniversary. Listened to the President's speech to Cong. & they later passed the declaration of war" Dec 8 1941. For a historian the very unexceptional aspects of her day-to-day life offers a wonderful window into the lives of millions of middle class American women in the years before WWII. This diary would make an excellent addition to the resources for a Women's Studies or Social History program. In a few short years American society would be plunged into decades of social change. Condition: The diary is in excellent condition. It contains 365 pages and is 100% complete. The cover is a hard leather cover with a zipper closure. The cover shows signs of wear at the corners but is in otherwise very good condition. The binding and spine are both in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible if cramped. . hardcover

1937-1941 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF AN OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE MIDDLE AGED WATERVILLE MAINE MAN

1937000972WATERVILLE MAINE. Good. 1937. On offer is the fascinating original handwritten 5 year manuscript diary of an unidentified middle-aged Waterville Maine man who is married to Bertha and they have children Virgil Palmer and John Virgil and Palmer are the oldest who work as men do John obviously youngest travels everywhere with Bertha. In many ways this is an extraordinary diary as our author was no doubt obsessive-compulsive writing on nearly every inch of free papers facts and notes of information. Nearly every single day for 5 years save 1941 is filled in very small but legible cursive handwriting. Our author notes everything of the family activities work visits and visitors. So dedicated is our writer that even when he is terribly ill as evidenced by his handwriting he rarely falters. In 1939 his handwriting changes with such dramatic effect we at first believed other hands had taken over the writings but research now suggests that it is his writing but so distressed by illness it is a wonder he can continue. A handwriting analysis of this man would be most interesting. He also mentions many many names including: Alice Bowman Ernest Eldridge Dr. Whitney Ed Bowman Clyde Blake Harold Sawtelle Mr. Mathers 'Peddler' Williams Mahlon Brown Mrs. Hastings Morse Dick d.2.18.39 Charlie Branch Kenneth Eldridge Estabrook and Lathrop boys and places include: Portland Waterville Winslow Clinton Advent Church Benton. Local events such as "Barton Wrigley died in the insane hospital with pneumonia 2.20.37" or that "Dr. E. Fisk died in Titusville Florida and returns to Waterville for burial" will provide local historians collectors and genealogists with a treasure trove of data.

Edna Bell (Pikett) BuchheitBiblio.com

1937-1947 Diaries Covering a Decade in the Life of Typical Small Town New York Newlywed As Her Family and Responsibilities Grow

0011123Orchard Park Buffalo New York New York State. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating firsthand glimpse into the daily life of a typical young woman who becomes a wife and mother living near Buffalo New York during the grinding days of the Great Depression and the war years of WWII. This is a collection of two five-year diaries. The author of these two diaries is Edna Bell Pikett Buchheit 1914-1999. Edna was born to Charles and Mary Hammerschmidt Pikett and raised near Buffalo. On October 30 1937 Edna married Charles Francis Buchheit 1913-1997. Together they had two sons Charles and David. Charles called Chuck in the diaries worked as a machinist. They lived near Buffalo around Orchard Park. Charmingly Ednas first diary begins on the day of her nuptials to Charles but her inscription in the front states that the diary was Purchased while on honeymoon so her first few entries must have been made retrospectively. The diary covers Oct 30 1937 through Oct 7 1941. Some excerpts from the first dairy follow: Married at 12. Drove around til supper Left at 8: 30. Stayed overnight at Westfield. Arrived 10: 45.

Ednas second diary begins January 1 1943 and concludes on December 30 1947. It is a treat to be able to follow Edna and Chuck as they become parents for the first time in 1943 and again in 1947: Baby born 6: 21. Weight 7 lbs 6 oz21 1/2 inches. I was sleepy most of the day. Chuck to see me in afternoon and his mother in eve May 28 1943. Rainy all day. I had very bad time. Baby boy 9 lbs 12 oz born 6: 58pm April 16 1947.

Her growth from the first diary is evident even her handwriting matures in the second diary. Note: She refers to her husband as Chuck and her eldest son as Chucky. Mostly fair later cloudy. I washed.

These 10 years offer an outstanding window into the world of an ordinary woman and her family as they make their life in the very difficult years of the 1930s and 1940s. For a social historian it is also an excellent look at life in small-town America during this period. It is an excellent resource as well for a Womens Studies program or research as it provides a decades-long look at the life of this woman her roles and those of the women in her life.

19380001753NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK. Fair. 1938. On offer is an original 1938 - 1939 manuscript relic of pre World War II policing by three US Customs and Duty officers named Barlow Day and Hagner. The entries list seizures they made the date the name of the ship which pier the items seized and the value of these items. Historians and researchers of such work will be amazed at the breadth of the seized items beyond the assumed liquor tobacco and weapons. The notes detail such sundry items pyjamas perfume sandals table cloths lotion wallets shell boxes cameras tea jewellery coins and more. Included within the pages of the journal are several newspaper clippings. Four of them were obits for a man by the name of Sgt. John E. Day who died during WWII. He was the brother of custom's agent Edward F. Day. There are also a few articles about a narcotics bust mostly opium showing a woman by the name of Madeline Mayling as the suspect. In part: "June 9th 1939. United States Customs agents were set last night to crack down on a huge Broadway drug syndicate as a result of the arrest of a woman head of a gown shop and the seizure of more than $15000 worth of crude gum opium and morphine base on her person. The woman under arrest is Madeline Mayling 38 who operated the Helene Modes Inc. on the 6th floor of the Gayety Gaiety Theatre Building 1547 BroadwayShe was captured as she walked off the Italian liner Vulcania last Friday night with 12 1/2 pound slabs of opium under her girdle. "I thought it was imported Roquefort or limburger cheese" she insisted. She is held in default of $25000 bail charged with smuggling. An alleged accomplice whose name is withheld also is under arrest.Other narcotics were found at her home and at her place of business a Broadway dress shop.In her apartment a fully loaded automatic pistol was also found" Another article notes that a woman was hiding four pounds of pure heroin in the soles of her shoes; several pairs. The handwritten entry in the journal that shows where they arrested Madeline but she was going under the alias name of "Helen Hoffman" as the newspaper article states. There is also a small typed piece of paper which is titled "Enforcement Division Notes." This piece talks about Guard E. F. Day who was "strolling" on board the S. S. Pacific which was docked in Brooklyn at the time. He decided to search the seamen's wash room and found a bottle that ordinarily contained pickles when actually it was "Preserved Marijuana." It was concealed under the iron floor of the wash room. This is really a fascinating 37 pages of intimate details of the unique service these officers performed. There are about 40 different ships mentioned including: the Normandie California Virginia Ile de France New York Champlain Rotterdam Berlin Queen Mary Breman and many more. Some of the piers are; Constable Hook in Bayonne New Jersey Claremont Terminal in New Jersey New Briton Boat Landing in Staten Island Pier 18 North River Brooklyn piers and more. Finally in the back of this journal is two page handwritten entry about a Grand Jury session concerning the seizure of opium on board the ship SS Menclaus. Seems they found opium in the bottom of a bucket hidden under some clothing and belonging to Lee Foo Yung. The diary it's in poor shape with the cover detached but present and the cover is also torn at the spine in places. There are a few torn out pages but the diary itself has over 100 pages of which 37 have entries. Binding still looks good and there is a bit of foxing around the edges of the pages.

KATHERINE NEARY JOHNSONBiblio.com

1938 - 1939 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A HARD DRIVING WESTERN NEW YORK WOMAN TRYING TO WORK HER WAY OUT OF THE DEPRESSION

19380008141HORNELL NEW YORK WESTERN NEW YORK. Good. 1938. On offer is a unique little journal written by a woman in upstate New York immediately before the outbreak of WWII. Measuring 6 inches by 3.5 inches this journal has 72 pages and is 100% complete. There is evidence of pages having been torn out at some time in the past. The handwriting is in pencil and although faint can be read. The cover is in very good condition and all pages are intact. Although the name on the cover is Emmett Johnson 1914-1992 context suggests that this 1938 diary was written by his mother Katherine Neary Johnson. She refers to family members by the initial of their first name and 'E' and 'J' crop up repeatedly. The 'E' likely stands for Emmett and the 'J' for her husband John. They lived around Hornell in upstate New York in what is known as the 'Southern Tier' - the mountainous western part of New York state that borders Pennsylvania. These were the last years of the Great Depression and life was not easy here. The pages are un-numbered and undated. She simply writes through from one month to the next. In her journal Johnson recounts daily chores and events that matter to her family their farm and their circle of friends. "Nice day John went to the city to sell his veal. I just done my housework."Feb 4 1938; "I went to Canisteo with the grist. Fixed the fence in the P.M." Apr 25 1938; "J went to church. Raymond and children brought him home. E and C came stayed for supper came with cow and took the veal calves." June 5 1938. Life wasn't easy and events could turn one's work upside down very quickly: "Blacksmith came and shod the team. came and helped. Barn burned."Aug 6 1938. The rest of her entries are in this vein. They paint the picture of a hardworking woman living in a poorer area of rural America. Yet despite the continual hard work there is a sense of quiet confidence and pleasure with her life. A student of Womens' Studies would find this an excellent window into the life of so many American women living at that time; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES; MID-20TH CENTURY; 1930S; KATHERINE NEARY JOHNSON; EMMETT JOHNSON; HORNELL NY; STEUBEN COUNTY; NEW YORK; THE GREAT DEPRESSION; 'SOUTHERN TIER'; AMERICAN FARMERS IN THE LATE 1930S; LIFE ON FARMS IN DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION; WOMEN'S LIFE IN RURAL WESTERN NEW YORK; BUFFALO AREA RURAL AMERICA IN THE MID-20TH CENTURY; FARMING OPERATIONS; AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

BIO NOTES: one online source provides: Paul Jones 25 November 1880 - 4 September 1941 was the Episcopal Bishop of Utah 1916-1918 after the death of his predecessor Franklin Spencer Spalding a socialist and a prominent pacifist. He was forced to resign his see in April 1918 because of his outspoken opposition to World War I. Although in 1929 he was chosen as temporary bishop of Southern Ohio while the next incumbent was being selected he never again held a permanent diocese. In 1933 presiding bishop James DeWolf Perry restored Jones's seat but not his vote in the House of Bishops. Paul Jones was born in Pennsylvania in 1880. He attended Yale University and the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge Massachusetts. He was ordained and served a mission church in Logan Utah. In 1914 he was made Bishop of the Missionary District of Utah. He was an outspoken pacifist and when World War I began in 1914 he spoke against it. As the war progressed and when the United States entered the war in 1917 many Americans were vehement in holding that pursuing the war was a moral duty and opposition to the war was immoral. In the spring of 1918 yielding to pressure Bishop Jones resigned as Bishop of Utah. He continued to speak out within the Church as an advocate of peace and the Christian renunciation of war until his death on 4 September 1941. 2. History of St. John's Episcopal Church Logan Utah: Jones spent the rest of his life advocating for black civil rights social reform and economic justice. He served as a chaplain at Antioch College and was instrumental in founding the Fellowship of Reconciliation and the Episcopal Peace Fellowship. Just prior to his death he helped resettle Jews displaced by the Nazis and advocated a more understanding US relationship with Japan. ; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF BISHOP PAUL JONES PACIFIST PACIFISM TRAVEL EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF UTAH EPISCOPAL DIVINITY SCHOOL JAMES DEWOLF PERRY CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS SOCIALIST LOGAN UTAH BISHOP OF THE MISSIONARY DISTRICT OF UTAH ST.

1938 - 1949 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF THREE 3 FIVE YEAR DIARIES DETAILING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A 35 YEAR EMPLOYEE OF THE FBI WITH THE BACKDROP OF WORLD WAR II

19380001626HICKORY NORTH CAROLINA NC. Good. 1938. On offer is a super original manuscript archive of three 3 handwritten diaries by Eugenia Vasseur Ivey later Bivens b. April 29th 1919 d. January 20 2011 who worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigations FBI beginning in 1942 for 35 years. Her sister Virginia also worked with the FBI. The books are all 5-year diaries dated 1938-1943 nearly full 1944-1948 2/3rds full and the last only for 1949 and about half full. Prior to her work at the FBI she attended college and taught and she may have also been a hotel clerk. While each year is not full this archive shines on a number of levels given that she writes during the war years travels a fair bit dates a lot and sometimes interesting things happen to her like meeting Norman Rockwell and getting his autograph. As a home front diary she notes blackouts air raids gas rationing and much more relating to life during the war. What may be of particular interest to historians and collectors of FBI material was the fact that she was a super diarist detailing her duties her contacts her bosses and matters from the mundane to bank robberies. We learn she quit the FBI over a transfer dispute but they came back to her months later asking her to come back which she did. We also note that she met her husband Winfred Lee 'Wint' Bivens at the FBI. She went from and average typist to a respected clerical employee and her test results and other works were highly commended it seems. Here are snippets of the early years: 1942 "March 11th Mother went to her club. I get supper. Heard that Elbert is worse so I call off my bridge club I was to have Thursday night. Elbert has Hodgkin's disease no cure. Went to his stomach.

It said I was an average new employee and I was discontent and I am. He said he was not pleased with report and fussed at me terrible. I couldn't say a thing as I was so hurt. Went to rest room and cried.December 18th Heard today that Roy Rainhart is out at Ft. Belvoir Virginia and getting well from war and on way to Ireland. Will go out to see him Sunday. Gasoline was frozen today at noon and we only have tank ½ full. Only T. cards good. Eastern fuel shortage critical so was forced to do this. What will daddy do now for business" 1943 "January 1st Slept late. Rainy. Went to work no holiday for us. Touhy gang was caught by FBI in Chicago. Heard from Earl. Went to show before work. Jack Benny in George Washington Slept Here. GoodApril 7th All our office was called in today into Mr. Scott's office for efficiency report. Mine was excellent. Louise Clark and Va. were too but not others. I was proud of it. I told Mr. Scott that if I didn't get transfer to Charlotte I would probably resign in July. Also told Clark and office.

Va. and I went at lunch time to buy a bond and N. Rockwell autographed one of the pictures. He is very homely looking." For months she tells the FBI she wants to transfer to Charlotte or she will resign and finally on October 14 she does resign. After that she is out of work for several months waiting impatiently for the FBI to call for another job in the Charlotte area. Finally in 1944 she gets re-hired and spends the next 35 years with the FBI. There is also so much is happening in 1944 concerning the war and on August 6th she writes this entry about the Atomic Bomb: "August 6th 1944 Today we heard that U.S. used new and mighty bomb Atomic Bomb on the Jap Island of Hiroshima. So powerful it leaves nothing alive which it touches. 2000 times more powerful then B-29 bomb. Levels steel and everything. Wipes out whole cities. Terrible." Besides trips to places like Quebec in 1949 the most extensive seems to be in 1947 when she and her sister take a month and a half trip to the West Coast : "October 18th Thought I would go home after work today but decided not to and decided to go to office party at agent's house they rent out on river. Mr. and Mrs. Cole took me. About 50 or more there mostly married couples. We drank and danced. Had a fine time. I had a time with key and Mr. Cole had to come help me open door at 2 A.M." "December 6th Nice day. Helen is so excited about her trip. She leaves in morning at 4:27 A.M. We had office party out at two agent's house out near river. Nicest place! Had juke box and all decorated for Xmas. About 60 there. Mr. and Mrs. Cole took me. I had fine time and feet tired from dancing. Got home about 2:15 A.M. Even the boss came a few minutes but I didn't get to dance with him." Included are a number 9 of unidentified photos of we assume Eugenia and her family.

1938 - 1942 HANDWRITTEN 5 -YEAR MANUSCRIPT DIARY - SUPERB HOMEFRONT DIARY BY A DEPRESSION ERA YOUNG INDIANA BOY WHO TURNS INTO A WAR WISE YOUNG MAN

1938000805INDIANAPOLIS FAYETTEVILLE INDIANA IN. Good. 1938. On offer is a superb World War II 1939 - 1942 handwritten manuscript 5-year 'homefront' diary authored by Robert Morris Smith. Only 10 years old at the start of the book Robert writes fully each and every day until he is past his 15th birthday in 1942. He is interested to no end in the threatening war current events and of course his family and their friends. Truly remarkable given this young man's global scope from the heart of the mid-west. This is an extraordinary piece of Americana by a thoughtful intelligent and curious young man who one literally sees grow up from Depression-era boyhood to young adulthood as the war impacts this young fellow. Robert never fails to mention major events milestone dates family issues both good and bad visitors contacts etc. Though unstated research suggests the Smith family was based in Indiana around the Indianapolis/Fayetteville area as most of the contacts and phone numbers in the memorandum section are in these areas. This diary besides being a valued record of Americana of the War and pre-War years it will also be a treasure for local historians and researchers as Robert studiously records names events and milestones.

1938000528bToronto Ontario Canada New York Europe. Very Good. 1938. On offer is a super "Compositions" notebook style travel journal handwritten by one of six young we estimate very early twenties Canadian men traveling from Toronto Canada by car to New York and then on to England by ship and finally the rest of Europe. All of the fellows are identified save for the author; Bob and Hugh MacMillan Art Boddingtion John MacFarlane and Don Nulands. Though not every day is filled in they misplaced the book for a couple of early weeks the writer amongst them commences writing when they leave Toronto on May 23 1938 and continues to write until they arrive back in September the same year. Our writer seems to be a fine young man with a droll sense of humor keen eye for details and is able to detail his trip with clarity while making for a great read. We learn that they are Alpha Delta Phi fraternity brothers sail across on the 'Paris' a boring ship even for those in First Class like these boys met a pleasant Nazi in Dresden and for the most part they make a very 'touristy' and detailed tour and use their Alpha Delta relationships to a large degree. Many times they tour with professors and doctors while covering it seems every inch of England Germany and much of Holland . Given the year one may wonder if this young man had to return to Europe as a soldier just a year or so later. Fascinating look at a tourist group immediately prior to the War.

Arthur Osgood PhinneyBiblio.com

1938 in Depth Work Log Book of Episcopal Reverend and Youth Leader Arthur O. Phinney on Running Youth Programs Church Recruitment and More

19380012229Watertown MA. Good with no dust jacket. 1938. Softcover. On offer is a notebook used to record notes on his work kept by the National Director of a large Episcopal church-based youth program in the mid-20th century. The notebook belonged to the Reverend Arthur Osgood Phinney 1892-1978. Phinney was an Episcopal Archdeacon and National Executive Secretary of youth programs within the church running camps and conferences. He also traveled frequently to the 80 dioceses across the USA promoting new methods of Christian education. Prior to his work in the church Phinney served in the US Army in France as an ambulance driver in the American Field Service. He married Lucile Flagg and together they had three boys: Frederick Arthur and William. At the time Phinney kept this notebook he was National Director of the Order of Sir Galahad having been elected in 1937 SEE NOTES ON THE ORDER OF SIR GALAHAD FOLLOWING LISTING. On the cover of the book Phinney has listed priorities related to his youth department: NY Leaders MeetingLecture forSchoolNational Galahad Conference June 9 10 11 1939. The notebook provides a comprehensive look at Phinneys work in the year 1938. It is not always linear as he clearly used this as a work journal. A large portion is devoted to his youth ministry as Director of the Order. It contains names addresses guidelines for various aspects of his ministry etc. He makes extensive notes about the projects he is working on for the youth programs for which he is executive secretary. Some topics he notes include Counsellor Training Provincial Officers Addresses Camp Directors Seminar Suggestions for Camp O-AT-KA 1939 Objectives of the Dept on Youth Divis of Mass. Wednesday Afternoon Conference notes about what the youth would be interested in and topics to cover Leadership Training Group What is Expected of Youth Members Outside of the Church Evaluation Charts Pamphlets Youth Rally and so much more. This journal is full of Phinneys notes about how to run youth programming in the year of 1938 looking toward a summer of youth camps in 1939. His notes are in-depth lay out expectations of the youth teaching plans plans for executive meetings and state the purpose of his ideas. It is clear from this book that Phinney was deeply devoted to helping young people be good Christians and this book demonstrates how he did this. This journal could be used by any organization to guide the development of successful courses and programs for youth. One small example is how he outlines a detailed curriculum for a Leadership Course for youth. While this section is many pages an excerpt is provided where he notes General Requirements For Christian Leaders: a Consecration to the task b Social adjustability c Some special skill d Some way of self-evaluation plus a method by which others may evaluate his work. The final eight pages of the notebook contain a lecture to Canvassers for the Church which he gave at The Church of the Good Shepherd in Watertown MA in 1938. He addresses people who go out from their parish into their communities to recruit or enroll members. He openly draws from sales ideas of his time a time that was well-known for door-to-door sales. For a social historian this notebook offers an excellent tool to compare principles of youth organizations in the 1930s with those of today. The challenges regarding youth were very different in 1938 but no less daunting. Of course one thing a social historian would note immediately is that there are no references to girls they were invisible. ABOUT THE ORDER: The Order of Sir Galahad was an organization for Anglican and Episcopal boys and men founded in Boston in 1896 by the Reverend Ernest J. Dennen. The Order's activities were structured around Galahad in Arthurian legend. It was a well-structured organization and its purpose was to reach boys at a time when the club idea loomed big in a boys mind. Its goal was to interpret religion to boys in the forms of recreation and other interests. Twelve years later to aid in that goal Dennen established a camp in rural Maine called Camp O-ATKA. Today 113 years later Camp O-AT-KA continues to flourish and is the oldest continuously-run residential summer camp for boys in the United States. It is located in Sebago ME. This notebook measures 8.0x5.0 inches and contains 122 pages. The notebook is about 80% complete. The covers are in very good condition and the spine is wire-coil bound. The pages are in good condition and the writing is legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 122 pages; Signed by Author . paperback

Chief Engineers and Ship MastersBiblio.com

1938 Incredible Engineering Log Books of Three Merchant Vessels Sunk in World War Two by the Chief Italian Engineer: M. N. Cellina M. N. Fella and M. N. Rialto Includes Deck Logs and Mechanical Engineering Logs

19380011043Italy Costa Rica Libya Newfoundland: Società Italia Flotte Reuniti Italia Società Anonima Di Navigazione. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1938. Hardcover. On offer is an outstanding collection of three engineering log books of vessels sunk in World War Two WWII. The log books are those of three ships of the Italian merchant navy MN Cellina MN Fella and MN Rialto. In addition to the main or Deck Log maintained by the ship's Master a separate log was maintained by the Chief Engineer for the recording of all vital information about the ship's engines mechanical systems pressures operating temperatures etc. It may also contain technical drawings and specifications. The Chief Engineer had overall responsibility for the Engineering Department and reported directly to the Master or Captain. In 1938 the Italian merchant fleet numbered 1050 vessels grossing 3180000 tons. By comparison the British merchant fleet numbered 9050 ships grossing 20 150000 tons. In 1932 due to the depression and widespread unemployment of Italian ships the major Italian shipping companies were combined into one state-controlled syndicate under the name Società Italia Flotte Reuniti. By 1937 this syndicate had made rapid recovery and repaid the Government bonds which had supported it. It was then changed into a Limited Company under the name Italia Società Anonima di Navigazione. These three ships - Cellina Fella and Rialto were part of this syndicate. The ships plied the world's major shipping routes including the Mediterranean Atlantic and Pacific. In 1940 most Italian ships were requisitioned for military service and by 1945 few were left afloat. Among the losses were these three ships. M. N. CELLINA was built in 1926. She was seized as a prize by Britain at Gibralter in 1940. She was renamed EMPIRE SAILOR and sailed as part of the British Merchant Navy. In 1942 she was torpedoed and sunk off Cape Race Newfoundland with a loss of 22 lives. M. N. FELLA was built in 1926. In 1940 she was interned at Costa Rica. In 1941 to avoid her capture she was burnt by her crew. M. N. RIALTO was built in 1926. In 1941 she was torpedoed and sunk by British aircraft off the coast of Libya. Each of these log books contains detailed descriptions of the engineering aspects of the relevant ship. They are written in Italian. For the most part the pages are typed resulting in excellent readability. In addition to the notes there are engineering drawings of various components blueprints and performance graphs. They also contain photographs of each ship. The CELLINA's log book details her voyage in 1935 from Trieste Italy to Vancouver Canada The FELLA's log book contains a number of newspaper clippings including some full-page articles all of various aspects of the shipping business. Interestingly there are two pages of notes written in English regarding spare equipment These are an excellent reference pieces. Easily translated they give an authoritative picture of the engineering features of each of these ships. A naval historian would find these useful in filling in gaps in knowledge of these ships as their records were mostly lost when the ships themselves were lost. A naval architect or engineer would find these to be and excellent reference work as to how the engineering and mechanical systems were built and maintained in ships at this time. All three log books measure 11 inches x 8.5 inches. They are 148 pages plus inserts and can be considered 50% complete since entries are on one side of each page only. Covers bindings and pages are Good in all three log books. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 444 pages; Keywords: handwritten manuscript document letter autograph writer hand written documents signed letters manuscripts historical holograph writers autographs personal memoir memorial antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier antike brief pergament dokument manuskript papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito papel MN Cellina; MN Fella; MN Rialto; Empire Sailor; Società Italia Flotte Reuniti; Italian Merchant Marine; Merchant Ships Lost in WWII; Battle of the Atlantic; convoy system World War Two Naval Ships Second World War European Ships War Ships Battles Lost at Sea .

19380001975WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1938. On offer is and interesting and intriguing 1938 travel diary handwritten by Doris L. Berglund of Waukegan Illinois who left from Union Station likely in Chicago to New York by train and then to Holland via steamship. While the book is about 20 pages one cannot help but be intrigued: Doris is very headstrong taking charge to change her dining arrangements when it suited her: she was to sit with a Mr. B and she changed them to sit at another table with Bill Wright of Denver Colorado headed to Paris to study - she notes that he "has girls on both sides of the ocean but doesn't seem to love any" Most interesting given the pre war atmosphere is hen she notes a doctor "Herbert Deines" on board a "graduate of Heidelberg a Storm Troop leader army officer leader of Hitler Youth etc" The last entry notes that the ship is headed south for the Azores. At this point Doris switches to shorthand making for a very enigmatic situation and a desire to translate the notes which we leave to the future owners.

1938 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A GREAT FALLS MONTANA SINGLE DAD WHO WORKS HARD TEACHING HIS SON THE MANLY ARTS OF SHOOTING HUNTING TREATING SKINS AND READING BOOKS

19380002368GREAT FALLS MONTANA MT. Very Good. 1938. On offer is an interesting original 1938 manuscript diary handwritten by an unidentified man living with his son Bob in Great Falls Montana. While the author is unknown there are many clues that would undoubtedly allow local researchers to learn his identity. His birthday is on January 21st and a casual reading suggests he is a widower or divorced as there are many mentions of his son but never a mother. A woman named Sue sees the boy a fair bit but her role is never detailed. He and son Bob 11 years old on April 2nd spend many of their free times hunting working on cowhides trips to the Falls hunting bullets at the Sand Hills target shooting and more. They are prodigious hunters and spend time dressing their kills and prepping or storing for food. Besides the everyday labours of rural living the writer has a job perhaps with a food or farm co-op as he mentions a call from the Spokane office and being asked to sell all their wheat he also calls on his tenants which we believe refers to tenant farmers. A very dedicated father inside the home too. He reads to Bob nearly daily to help him prepare for book reports goes to the library with him and attends church run father and son banquets. A dry wit runs throughout the diary: he hurts his hand burning brush and reminds himself to not play with fire. He also can descend into poor form mentioning playing Chinese Checkers in a not so kind manner. The diary also details a three week summer trip to the state of Washington staying around the Seattle area. Here are some snippets: 1938 "January 3rd Not too much in the lSue of work this day. Pascal getting ready for a trip to California. He decided to leave tonight. Cleaned a small turkey which had been hanging in the cold room since December 19th when I returned from Valier with 23 of them. It didn't smell too good. Hope it tastes better. Will see tomorrow night. Bob went out to the Christmas tree fire they had a swell one. I played old Sal for awhile. I've chased gums and so to bed." "February 7th There was a little snow not much. Temperature hangs around zero. This walking busSuess is rather hard on the dogs and my left from knee to ankle are sore. Too bad I don't have the ambition to make myself walk about half the time. Shoveled the walk but didn't' do any great job just made a path." "March 27th Almost finished raking the lawn but still a lot of wind today. RMA and I went up on hill where the old well rig used to be and had a swell tumble weed fire in the coulee to the east. We figured out how to get the car up on the high butte to the northeast and drove up there. It was too windy to have much fun rolling rocks." "April 3rd Nice day. Did some work on the yard and built a fence to keep people off the back lawn. We went for a ride in the afternoon. RMA Ray and Margie were quite busy in their meetings of the "Bloody Three" which is a three way organization they have formed. Guess it is from reading Tom Sawyer but suppose it's good for them and don't think they will commit too many murders before they think of something else." "April 10th RaSued some in the morning. We overslept and RMA missed going to Sunday School. Spaded the bed by the side of the house and cleaned the one in front. Went for a ride in the afternoon and passed by the pistol range where we picked up a swell mess of bullets. Two policemen were shooting." "May 26th Pretty warm today 81 degrees. Pascal and Hattie went to Big Fork to bring back MaxSue whose school will be out tomorrow. They expect to get home Saturday night. I went out North to Marm's also saw Fiedler and brought in a load of pastes. In the evening we went out for a little ride to see the ACM tulips; they were real pretty." "June 10th Pascal went to Big Sandy to pick up Fred Bydeley who came that far with Skie. They got back here about five. We went on the picnic to Big Falls to celebrate school being out for the year. It was nice there and we drove on down to Morony Dam and then back home. Came on back down town and visited with Fred tell about 10:30." "July 10th & 11th Went up to Johnson's for dinner a darn good meal but of course we were late. There was a little hail storm there in the afternoon. Left there at 6:30 and went to Glacier Park station where we got a cabin for the night.Up and at em early. Left at 6:20 A.M. and drove to Belton then up by Lake McDonald and over Logan Pass. Went to Babb and then into Cardston for lunch. Back the same way to Browning to Valier and home. Damn tired." "July 26th Got up early and John and I made the trip north. We went to the Torrison then out three and over Berubes and to Christians. The roads were rough and somewhat muddy in spots but we had a nice trip. Picked some wild red raspberries at Berubes." "August 9th Roy and I hit the deck at 4:00 A.M. and went for razor clams. It was swell digging got the limit. Father's wife passed away at 10:30 A.M. We cleaned clams and watched the chicks but didn't bother them any. Left at 3:10 P. M. went down to Jim's six miles beyond Tumwater. Had a little visit with him and brought Emma back to Forks. Got there at 10:15 P.M. Prims arrived in Great Falls today at noon. Letter from Pa 8-14-38." "August 20th & 22nd Mr. Young and I went to Everett and saw Don Currie and the Merrill property.

Got back to Seattle about 11:00 P.M.Went with Mr. Young. RMA and Sue over to Bainbridge Island. Mr. Young wanted to see his dentist and we there prowled around the island while he was there. Got back to Seattle about 2:00. Sue and RMA went on their way and Bradley and I circulated around the town. Went out to Little about 9:00 and then home or rather to the Hancocks." "September 25th Some wind today. Not bad but the most we have had for sometime. Went out to Mrs. Marm's and bought 5 pigs for Hi. Went over to Fiedler's and to the Hale and Frisbee places. Got the remains of the old copper kettle and made a plate for the bathroom floor. We all went for a ride out to Highwood. Got ice cream and mailed some letters." "October 6th Worked some and listened to the World Series game between the Cubs and Yanks. Yanks won 6-3 Damn it. Went down to the Elmore Hotel to locate Paul Dean. Ive wanted him over to dinner." "November 7th A heck of a day all in all. Sue came down in the morning to get her hair fixed and bought a dress. In the afternoon she came back and got gloves and a hat but the dress didn't get delivered. Well we did get off to the Civitan Banquet where we had duck and a swell time. Dr. Larson was good as well as De Schoen and Crouch. All of them were real nice to us. RMA stayed at home with Ray and at Lovitt's. Maybe it was a good experience for him. Pascal got back this evening." "December 24th We didn't do too much today. Sue and Bob came down in the afternoon and Sue went to The Liberty. Bob and I went home and had some lunch then out to the Sand Hills where we shot bottles. Bob missed one and I missed two. We hunted for bullets and then went to the police pistol range. Then got Sue from the show and home." Researchers and historians of the time and place will be pleased that our author mentions many many names of those he interacts with: Walt Sells Eppe Herbert Shane Alice Fay Lewis Rouse Torkelson Borthwick Jessie B.

On offer is a sensational intimate look inside the world of insane asylums and of Depression-era psychiatric care seen from the perspective of young nurse training hands-on in two institutional settings: Speers Memorial Hospital Training School in Dayton Kentucky and the Longview Hospital in Cincinnati Ohio. While the author is not identified two newspaper clippings showing the 1938 graduating class of nurses assuredly narrows the search for local historians or collectors. Our writer has compiled lecture notes and observations from patient rounds detailing treatment and procedure in early mental institutions and asylums. She begins the seventy handwritten pages: "First Lecture at Longview" Longview Hospital located in Cincinnati Ohio. February 12 1938 Psychiatry Branch Medicine/Deals and Minds.

Also a section about questions on Psychiatry and description on Manic Depressive "Physiotherapy is very valuable. Tonic baths tend to preserve their physical health and stimulate general body activity. The continuous bath is the best means of allaying any excitement that may arise in these patients. Great interest is now being shown in the treatment of the schizophrenic patients with insulin." "VII Paranoia or Paranoid States This is a chronic progressive psychosis characterized by the formation of systematized delusions based upon a false premise. State hospitals approx. 1 % of this type. Very early in life this person has a peculiar suspicious personality. Also manifestations sexual traits. They become proud vain and regard themselves as superior to others. They gradually imagine people are jealous of them and owe this to some unusual gift which they think they possess. Finally they believe themselves to be Jehovah or a prophetVery few go to mental hospitals as they are quite clever in keeping out of trouble. Often their disease is not known until they have preformed some gross antisocial crime or act." ".Many physicians have lately been using artificially induced fever by means of the different high frequency currents. Of these diathermy and ultra high frequency currents are the most frequently employed. The most popular method is known as the Kettering Hyperthermia machine. In nursing the paretic patient it is important to keep these patients from committing some antisocial act. They should be kept under strict supervision. When convulsions occur they should be protected against injury. They should be given laxatives and cathartics and an occasional enema." "Manic Depressive Psychosis Patients should be placed in properly equipped mental hospitals. It is essential to guard against sexual indiscretion in the early stage of disease. When excited it is best to put them in a continuous bath where they may remain for several hours. Wet sheets and dry packs are also used to allay excitement. Restraint by camisole or tying in bed should be used only in case of extreme necessity." The journal goes on with information on schizophrenia paranoia child development; both normal and abnormal and general care of all diseases.

It is not specified but she undoubtedly lives in or near Hayward Park in Lincoln Nebraska and mentions going to Johnson Omaha and Tecumseh. Her entries have one small ray of light in them being the movies.
