Sunday, 1 May 1966, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Rainy in am, 40's. Girls and I went to church and Sunday School. Mr. James a candidate, (for preacher) and Raymond and Lavilla here for dinner. Clifton and I went to Grand Gorge and met LaVerne's and they went with us to look at lambs in Charlottesville. Ate supper at LaVerne's. I stopped at church. Talked over DVBS. (Daily Vacation Bible School).
Comment: Busy Sunday and May Day and also International Workers Day which commemorates the "Haymarket Affair or the Haymarket Massacre when workers supported a strike for an 8 hour work day and some idiot threw a dynamite bomb at the police and seven police and four civilians were killed. Ironic that they are looking at lambs, the symbol for peace and innocence on this day of a massacre.
Take a look:
