Wednesday October 24th

It has rained steadily all day and all evening. I haven't done any thing to speak of but my arm has been a lot better I didn't soak it to-day but bathed it well a couple of times. Dad. and Frank put a great fix on the back of the stove with a piece of tin and some stove cement. It doesn't smoke now and the water in the reservoir warms up quickly. I pasted a few snapshots in my new album this after noon and also shaved and went down to Aunty's to tea. Marj. was there too so we had a very nice evening. They had a letter from Quint down there saying that straw mattresses & blankets had been issued so that he thinks he will be in England all winter.

I came home as soon as I had breakfast this morning. I did a few chores this morning and then drove down town and got some groceries and went up around by Ham Thompson's to ask him about forming a Farmer's Club for co-operative marketing and buying. This after noon I cleaned out the colony house. Dad. did chores all morning and plowed this after noon. Mr. Flemming came in this morning to get one of us to help him thrash this after noon so Frank went down. Winnie came over to tea to-night and I walked down town with her and stopped in for awhile at Aunty's on my way home. I had a letter from Dick to-day saying he had registered at the Post Office for service. We don't just understand how he came to do it as he said before that he had sent his medical sheet to the Head Office where they would apply for exemption for him. It was cloudy and raw this morning but sunny this after noon & clear to-night.
