while they were at it. I went over to the Monteith's as soon as we finished playing down town and got Marj. to come over to tea. We didn't get over till about six o'clock as we had to stop at Aunty's & Miss McQueen's for Marj. to say good-bye. She is going to the St. Catherines, Ridley College, Summer school to-morrow on the two car. Dick went back to Toronto at four o'clock to-day hoping to get his discharge to-morrow. We were rather late getting the chores done and the Millman family all came over in Ade's car just before tea. After tea Frank wanted to print some pictures so we all helped him but Marj. and I went home fairly early. It has been a very nice day & cool.

Monday June 30th

Dad. and I cultivated the mangels and potatoes in the field this morning and spent most of the after noon hoeing in the old garden. Frank went down town this morning to see about getting ladders for the rack. He left the pattern down with Reynolds months ago but they have never been finished. Reynolds told him he told Emery to make them Saturday, but Emery hadn't showed up this morning, he thought he was decorating Bert Thompson's car for tomorrow's parade. Frank mowed half of the field east of the orchard this after noon. We have decided to leave the field back of the barn for alsike. I went down to band practice to-night. Dick came in to Aunty's while I was there. He had just got in at eight o'clock and had his discharge in his pocket. He was a tickled boy. On my way home I stopped in and Quint and Hazel Dunkin were there Hazel was staying there all night. He had ridden down from Vittoria this after noon and was wearing riding breeches & putties and looked like the devil.
