I got a Studebaker instruction book the other day and have been greasing the neglected spots on the car lately. Today Floyd and I drained the oil out and strained it and I tightened the emergency. Then we washed and polished it. I then took a cold bath and in the evening Aunt Ethel, Floyd and I went to The Fairyland.
