south west wind and when Dad. got home at three o'clock he found one of Mrs. Jim. Low's apple trees blown down across Aunty's lane so he had to chop it up before he could get out with Joe & the buggy. They had a letter from Dick to-day and he said that Head Office had told him to be examined and send his papers to Winnipeg for them to apply for exemption for him. He was marked A2 which is the highest he could get without military training, but he thinks he will be exempted. He hadn't intended applying for himself.
