Friday August 1st

It was too wet to work at the hay to-day so Dad. & Frank hauled out manure all day. Dick and I went back to set the fence posts across the side hill field from the woods to the gully as we want to get the cattle in where we cut the hay off as soon as possible. The ground was so hard we couldn't make much impression on it with the post auger but got one post set. We then went over to John Wess's to borrow his spud to loosen up the hard clay and were over there till noon, but this after noon we made better progress by using the spud and I think got six posts set. To-night Dick and I went down town as I wanted to try on a pair of low shoes at Caley's but they were closed up so we decided to go to the show. We were just a little early for the second show so went over to Pete Holmes where we ran across Bob & Dess, so we took them to the show with us. It was "The Heart of Humanity" a war picture showing just Canadian troops. It was very good but very sad and depicted some horrible examples of German brutality. Roy Dell was with us and could tell us about the places, such as Vimy Ridge
