Fair. I went to school. I sent for a free bottle of Jergens Lotion (hand) from a clipping from an old magazine in the basement!!!+ Jergens address is:  The Andrew Jergens Co. Box 3725 Cincinnati, Ohio  First fire I have ever seen!!!!+
 
There was a big fire in the field across from the T.J. School + in a garage + [[strikethrough]] shac [[/strikethrough]] shack near it. There were 4 fire engines (one with negroes on it) small boys beat a little out with their coats. Somebody said the shack had gasoline tanks in it so I ran away. I dropped my kerchief but recovered it. It was an awful fire. Then I went home.
