Thursday March 7th Frank and I didn't do much else all day but oil harness. We put a fire on in the shop and got Bell's heavy harness oild, washed, mended and put to-gether. It was about two o'clock when we finished the one harness so we didn't start on another one. I had a rather bad pain under my {?} this after noon so came in the house and lay down till chore time when it had disappeared. Dad. spent most of the after noon putting an axe handle in another head. He finished the one he was at yester day, this morning. He got the handle in the head just so far then couldn't get it either in or out so he heated the head and then drove it in which made a very tight fit. According to to-day's "Globe" all the bank clerks in On except those who were granted exemption on personal grounds are to be called up. so I guess old Dick will be a soldier yet. Colder to-day but windy. To-night we went down to our box social at Mrs. Bell's Friday March 8th. We had a very good time. There were not as many ladies there as we expected and so the boys & girls were about even in numbers. We played games and. at the wind up I auctioned off the boxes for which we realized about $15.00 half of that went to the {WAI?} and half to the J.F.I.A. Frank and I got home about one o'clock. Friday March 8th I went to Simcoe on the nine car this morning to see Johnson. Neff called me up last night to say they had a car of corn in and would send it down here with what stuff was ordered from around here, so I wanted to find out a little more about it and who had ordered from around here.. Johnson said they hadn't many orders and wanted me to get more and send them up to him to-night. I meant to come home on the eleven car but missed it so we walked home by the G.T.R. track. It was a lovely day for a walk especially down along the creek and I heard a lot of Spring birds and saw my first robin this morning. Frank was here alone when I got home about half past twelve as Dad. Enah & the baby went down to Aunty's for dinner. Right after dinner I went down town and went up to telephone Ham Thompson from Aunty Maude's to see if knew of any one who might buy corn, but he had gone over to our place. I visited with Aunty Maude for quite awhile and then went down to Aunty's till Dad. and Enah left. They drove and I walked. stopped in to see Harry {Man?} at the mill. and Charlie Quanbury's new horse that he got at Porter's sale so it was six o'clock when I got home
