September Wednesday 1 1926

Carl brought Melb, margaret Deans, and Jean to Paris were I met them and we all went to hear the "Musical Eckardts" (Swiss Bell Ringers and Entertainers) and the "Strain Sisters" at the Capitol. Interesting programme and a ride home made it an enjoyable evening for me.

Thursday 2

A busy day for me collecting accounts of the month before on the milk route. Helped milk Geo. Telfers cows when we bought some milk from him.

Friday 3

Drove Telfer's Ford Sedan up after milk at Geo Telfers as Mr Telfer had truck away after two new grade Guernseys. Jimmie and I drove truck up to Barkers and then went with Jean and Dan in the Dodge to the Woodstock corn roast up home. Had a great time.
