Friday November 17th
We killed the squealing pig this morning. Just did chores this after noon. Bill Donald was in to ask Dad. & Enah to perform at the opening concert of the new Shand's School-house. I went down town to-night to attend the meeting of the club that Clark told me but found that they couldn't get gas so called it off. I called on Cousin Clare, Marj. Mrs. Moon (Harry was in bed) and Aunty. I got my horn. Nice day but cold to-night.
Saturday November 18th
Frank and I went down with the sleighs and got the rest of the locust tree at Aunty's. This after noon Frank went down and did some odd jobs for Aunty and went down again to-night. I washed the name of the mail box and painted it (the box) fresh with aluminum enamel. Alex Jennison was after a ram. Softer to-day.
