This has been another beautiful Spring like day We just did chores and Frank and I pruned two or three more trees in the orchard. To-night Marj. and I went down to Auntys for tea, no it was last night we were there for tea. We went to the U.F.O. concert to-night. Marj. got a complimentary ticket. I played with the Lemmon's orchestra and we kicked up quite a racket, which the Unite Farmers of Woodhouse professed to enjoy by applauding. Bob Wilson an imported entertainer supplied the rest of the show, to-gether with a pianist, soloist and a little dancer. Frank went to the thing and he & Lloyd took the two Donald girls. The house wasn't filled but they had a fair crowd of farmers, very few town people were there. | This has been another beautiful Spring like day We just did chores and Frank and I pruned two or three more trees in the orchard.

for them by the tractor people he stayed {illegible} he and Lloyd went to Bill Donald's to spend the evening. I went down to a meeting in the Methodist church this morning when they discussed having a "Father & Son" banquet in April. This after noon I pruned an apple tree. Marj. and I went down to Girl's auxillary & band practice to-night. We had quite a flare-up between Harry Moon & Doc Lemmons to night. Harry is bound to play things the way he thinks they should be played instead of the way Doc. says, and to-night he got mad and used language which appeared to shock Mr. Bagley terribly.
