Tuesday December 21st

Did chores this morning and we went out and got in another load of corn stalks. Marj. went over to the farm with me this after noon and intended to practice her duet with Enah to play at the Shand's school concert to-morrow night but they decided that as Dad. was going to be chairman, they would get him to strike the duet off the programme. We stayed at the farm for tea. Tid. has a bad cold and cough so didn't go to school to-day.

Wednesday December 22nd

I spent most of the day just doing chores. Dad. went down town this morning and stayed to dinner and he and Aunty went up to Miss McQueen's closing concert at the school house this after noon. Marj. went up too. I walked down town with her at noon and helped her carry some parcels down that she was sending by post They said the concert was very funny but were very disappointed that Tid was too sick to go as he was on the programme for a mouth-organ solo, but his cold was too bad so he and Enah stayed home. I got a card from Mid. Thompson saying there was to be a band meeting to-night but Marj. telephoned him and told him I was going

out to Shand's. Aunty & Marj. came over to the farm for tea and Aunty stayed all night to look after Tim whule the rest of us went to the concert. Enah and Marj. drove Mexico out but dad. Frank and I walked. It drizzled rain most of the day so the walking was fierce. We went straight back through John Wess's. The cncert was fine. Frank was on eof the maninactors in the dialogue they had and did vwery well but what was most comical was a frog song by a chorus of school kids and they hopped up and off the atge dressed to represent frogs with a green papwer wrapped around them. There was a big crows there dconsidring the night, The weayther doesn't seem to make n=much differnece to our section.
