Wednesday March 3rd

My throat has been pretty sore all day and I haven't done much except a few chores and work at my show-cards. Dad. & Frank hauled wood all day and now have it all up but one load. To-night Frank and I went down to church and I went home with Marj afterwards I didn't intend to stay but she wanted me to help her fill out her report cards and then she made me let her swab my throat with some dope. Mild all day but freezing to-night.

Thursday March 4th

Dad. and Frank hauled up their last load of wood this morning there will be a little more from the dead limbs that have yet to be cut out. When that was unloaded we put a load of manure on the sleighs from the box stalls in the horse stable and after dinner Dad. & Frank took it down to Aunty's. Aunty Alice walked over here before dinner. She went over to Mrs. Battersby's from here. She knew I was going down to the boys' meeting to-night so asked me down to tea but I read for quite awhile after dinner so didn't get the chores done in time. Frank and I went down to-night and Frank went to a Agricultural meeting of Neff's in the hall. I went to the boys' meeting and then down to Auntys. Marj. was there and had been there to tea. Mr. & Mrs. Will Holden & Miss Buckwell were there playing bridge. I went up with Marj. and then as it was raining stayed at Auntys all night. Frank came home. Very soft & slushy. Raining to-night.

Friday March 5th

I woke up about half past three this morning and saw through Aunty's back room window an awful fire so i got into my clothes as quickly a spossible to go up to see it. I called Aunty 7 Aunty Alice and Aunty Alice thought a once that it was the Post Office block & found out that she was right. When I got up town the whole building was gone & just the flaming bruck walls standing. They told me that not a thing was saved. I duidn't stay up towm allong but went back to Aunt's and we had breakfast.
