grapes but Sam Morell had gone to Simcoe and Jimmy Leamy hasn't had any oranges for quite awhile as the price is so high, so we went back and then back to Monteith's and read "The Old Curiosity Shop". I had tea and Aunty's adn she Aunty Alice and I went to church to--night. They had a meeting after church and Miss Martin & Marj. informed me that I had been put on a committee with Jack martin to can vass the hill for subscriptions to Victory Bonds which the Sunday school wants to buy to put in an Endowment Fund for {?} Missions and also to get a shield with maple leaves on it to in scribe the names of all the boys from the Sunday school who have died or been killed at the Front. Evey sunday school that buys a Victory Bond gets one. H.W. Ansley gave them the price of the Bond so they wanted to get another. Pat had a bulletin board out to-day with the announce ment that the Kaiser has abdicated and the Crown Prince renounced his right to succession and that Germany is in control of the Socialists.
