Another scorcher. Started work on laying out shut down work and in general getting things ready. Miss Sampson not in. C.W. approved our plans for getting material shop in shape. Will have to make a lot capsules - if we can. About 3 over to C.W.s office where we met young Ferguson - I presume the heir. He then announced no shutdown! We go back to top priority for steam even if everything else stops! Celebrated by trimming A.I.T. 11-10. I drive in the winning run with two down in the last half of the 7th (final). AB 4 H 2 P.O. -1 A 1 (double play) E 1? BB o SO 0. So far have 400 avg, in 3 games.

Got some laundry from home - and hankies. Nice day. Warm and balmy. Managed to get most of my various jobs delegated and received loads of stuff from Russell Smith. Now have hardly room to turn around in. Ferguson people had to give up all hope on fixing racks as to separation of condensate. Well have to do it. Hired one new inspector. Hear Marsh coming back. Wandered around for a little after supper. Located bowling alley and jitterbug assembly.

Day clear and frosty. Really beautiful. Would like to have climbed out and looked at the mountains. As it was nothing very exciting occurred. Worked hard getting fence situation lined up. Some trouble about pipe fitters. Later heard Ferguson maintenance contract turned down. So what? I don't know. Laboratory project up again. Home late. Roberts must be getting desperate. Today he tried to cool the pumps with dry ice!

Took an easy day. Down as usual and spent most of the AM studying and talking to Bedoe. Plant seemed to be running well. Ran into Roberts about noon. He wants Ferguson men to handle changes in rack piping. Home early. Dragged in trunk. Put on decent clothes.
