February Wednesday 9 1927

Roscoe and Ernie attended a U.F.Y.P.O. executive meetng at Maus School but I drove up and spent the evening with Jean. They had been to Brantford so she showed me some additions to her trousseau which included a hat that made her look more becoming than ever.

Thursday 10

Just 15 months this morning since I started working at "Bendemere" and I celebrated it by a holiday from peddling milk as I completed my term as an "M.P." the day before. Put in the day helping Alex doctor ring worm on the cattle in the morning and helping Ernie in the dairy in the afternoon.

Friday 11

Went to Burford in the afternoon for the first time with Alex after a load of pea ensilage which weighed 25.70 {2nd no. not clear} lbs. Attended party at Geo Telfers at night and as Jean was there to dance and as my feet were much better we sure had some nice dances together even if we were tired later. Home and in bed at 3.15 A.M.

February Saturday 12 1927

Felt pretty good with only a little sleep. Alex and I went after another load of ensilage and brought home 2725 lbs this time. Had to stop twice coming home to adjust truck and then coming up the subway hill a porcelain in the no 1{??}, spark plug blew up caused by a short circuit in the magnets. Drove into town with Rock at night and received final treatment on my wart at Dr. Munro's office.
