Dear Diary,

I saw in the paper today that Bob will be on Lionel Barrymoore’s show, The Mayor of the Town, next Wednesday. I guess it had to happen, since Bing was on it not so long ago, and neither of them can do anything without the other’s trying to do something twice as good. I think Bing must have had a head-start on Bob as far as the stork is concerned, though.

Meanwhile, I have no radio. Daddy took mine to have slight repairs made, and dropped it on the sidewalk. So I’m borrowing his portable until, and if, my own radio gets patched up.
