seemed like a very nice man as well as a fairly good preacher. I went in to Aunty's on my way home to say good-bye to Ferdy as he is leaving in the morning and is going to stay there all night so as he will be handy to the train. It has been quite mild to-day and has snowed considerably.

Monday February 7th

This has been a regular winter day cold, some snow and very windy. We didn't do any thing but chores and Dad. put cotton on the last frame for the chicken house. This after noon I went down and got a tooth filled and stayed at Aunty Alice's to tea. Arthur Anderson walked over this morning to get Dad. to give him an order for some binder twine but Dad. didn't and afterwards he changed his mind so I gave them an order for fifty lbs this after noon. Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, some people Aunty Alice knew in Fort Saskatchewan came in to-night and I went with her to the station to meet them. She spoke to to drive them up and he did but Mrs. {Name?} came in from {illegible} out of the hospital so he took her home first and had to drive very slowly and then as he was so close, went up to Davie's with Ida so by the time we got down to the house we might far better have walked. I went right back up with Al. and went around to call at the Moon's to say good bye to Miss Misner (Minnie) who is leaving in the morning to go with the Queen's University Kingston Corps to be a military nurse at Cairo, Egypt. She & Mrs. Moon were just leaving when I got there to go to the Sunday school were the A.Y.P.A. and Willing Workers were entertaining the soldiers and sent Miss Misener an invitation so I went with them. Mrs. Skey & Mrs. Col. Smith were there representing the I.O.D.E. and presented Miss Misener with an adress & a purse. The orchestra was there and Cousin Willie was chairman, after quite a programe in which the soldiers "did their bit" we had refreshments and it was quite late when Frank and I got home.
