Professor Hamilton's Diary: Sept. 22, 1935

He reads interesting news in the Sunday paper on this first day of autumn

The professor took daughter Gwennie to Sunday school this morning, the first day of fall. He was home all day, reading tne newspaper in the afternoon and studying for his classes in the evening.

The Reading Times did not publish a Sunday edition, so it’s a fair bet Professor Hamilton was reading The New York Times, a fat package of 208 pages. Paid subscribers can read on for the news of the day, as the world tensed for war between Italy and Ethiopia.

The vintage postcard here shows a vivid autumn scene but does not give the location. It’s being offered by a dealer on eBay.
