church Dad. drove Aunty up to the cemetry and Frank and I went down to Huby's and waited till they got back. We went down and helped Quint pull his new boat out of the creek and turned it over on the bank to see if we could find out here it leaked and we found three or four spots were the strips were punky. Quint was disappointed as he thought she was all sound. This after noon Dad. and Enah drove out to see Mrs. Jim Waddle who is going to the hopspital to-morrow. Winnifred had the chickenpox so they didn't stay long with the baby. They camwe home around by the Shand's but Charlie was the only one home there. Dad. says somebody has been playing Hallowe'en tricks on the side road and have ripped the bars down going into the woods and strung them half way across the road. Ed. came over soon after they left and he. Marion and I took a walk back the lane. We happened to see Snowdrop put on the road so had to go and put her in.
