Sunday January 16th

We were late getting around this morning so I didn't have time to do much over at the farm. Marj. and I went to Sunday school and church and Mrs. Johnson invited us to the rectory for dinner. She had to cook it after we got there so it was about three o'clock before we ate. Mr. Johnson didn't go to Vittoria this after noon as they have closed the church and every thing else all up there on account of the smallpox. We came home about four stopping in for a few minutes at Aunty's where Enah joined us. I went right on over to the farm and did chores. Cloudy and cold tonight.

Monday January 17th

Last night was the coldest night we have had yet. The thermometer registered 10° above zero but the high west wind made it feel much colder. We spent most of the fore noon after we did chores in hauling out 4 or 5 loads of strawy manure to cover the turnip pit a little more. We had to get over some hay for the cows as it was too cold to husk corn. Karl Coleman and Fred were over to look at the bulls but as they only offered me $70.00 for Oliver I thought I would keep him awhile on the chance of selling him for a bull Frank let his sheep out this morning. They have

been out nearly every day and as there is no snow they go way out in the field north of the orchard and pick around all day. The two geese go with them most of the timer and come back with them at night. Frank saw one of the geese the other day go up to a sheep that was lying down and pick it on the nose till it got up and then squat down on the warm spot where the sheep had been. This after noon we didn't do any thing but chores at least I didn't. Dad. drove out to see how Harvey Shand was. He is in bad shape with the pleurisy. Enah went down to get a crown put on her tooth and Frank went to meet Tid. He took Tim's skates and brought him across the pond. I soent a half hour or so reading the paper. There is a war now in the U.F.O. ca,p. Drury is proving too broad-minded a man to sit old J. J. Morrison. Drury realizes that a class organisation can't expect nd shouldn't rry to be the whole Government and is in favor of lerting outsiders stand on the U.F.O. political platform, which Morrison resents bitterly To-night Marj. and I took Aunty Alice to the picture show to see "Every woman" a sort of allegory which was very good and cleverly worke dout. After the show I went up to band practice for awhile and called for Marj. at Aunty's. Cold all day. Windy
