some candy this after noon to send to a friend of Essie's George Hunter who is in the trenches, that took a good part of the after noon as we had to crack nuts for it, but we went for a short walk. I stayed to tea and we all went to church or churches. Mr. Tarney brought in ours and was going to speak at the recruiting meeting afterwards we didn't go but went home and washed dishes instead. Quint came home yesterday noon he had been in Buffalo and Detroit; no-one seems to know why he left the mill unless it is that he just got tired of it. He and Huby went to Simcoe this after noon to see Alex McCall and interview him on the subject of enlisting. I guess Quint will enlist all right as Huby is very anxious to have him. Dad. was going up to old Jona's this after noon but Jim Waddle came over and he didn't get. He went over to John Wess' about five o'clock. Dick stayed with Aunty to-night.

Monday March 20th

Dad. went up to Jona's first thing this morning and left Frank and me to do chores, we hooked up old Harry & Nellie to the bobsleighs and cleaned out the box stall into the sleighs and hauled it out to the old garden
