Baked dried apple pie and muffins. Aunt K and we to Paul Nissen's in eve - Koffee and 6 kinds of sweets! 1950 Wrote up Community-wide benefit plans for Jacobson's, took to MTT. Solicited 2 lb. coffee and pt. cream for Sunday eve. Phoned many for soliciting cash donations. Rev. W. and Ruth P called. Went with Lange's to Guild ice cream social at band concert. Got town of M headed up for canvass. Sleep in flannel nightie! 1951 Ah! cooler. Baked apple crisp and oatmeal cookies. Hans and I went to Madison after dinner, home 3:30.
