Sealed Cargo (RKO Radio), a low-voltage drama of the high seas, pits some hapless Nazis against steel-jawed Dana Andrews, probably the most talkative down-Easter ever to ship out of Gloucester. Headed for the Newfoundland fishing banks, Andrews is still trying to sort out the spies among his crew when he comes across a disabled mother ship for German U-boats disguised as a Danish schooner...
Cleveland got off to a terrible start, highlighted by Bob Lemon's failure and Luke Easter's injuries. Now Lemon has recovered completely, Bob Feller is at his best in three years, and Early Wynn and Mike Garcia are pitching well. Easter has regained his health and his batting form. Rosen, Doby, and Hegan are starting to hit. Bob Avila is becoming an excellent second baseman.

She describes a memorable Easter-week visit, at the age of 23, to church services at the convent she later entered...
