Friday January 30th

Spent the fore-noon doing chores and got in a two or three day's supply of corn stalks. Marj. let Harry B out for awhile this morning just at recess so I took him over to where the boys & girls were sleigh riding down the little hill facing the school house. Stanton, Muriel and Clara and Helen Brown each gave him a ride down with them and he thought it was great sport although he wouldn't say a word over there. I went over to the farm this after noon to help them with the ice. Frank hauled five loads and was down after his sixth when I left and Alan Law brought a big load on his wide box that was half as big again as Frank's so that another half load to-morrow will finish. The ice is good but thin. What Frank hauled to-day was second cutting and he could put 19 cakes in the waggon box. I walked home about five, got a ride from the Winding Hill. Carl Lemmon picked me up at the gate going over and drove me right to Dad's corner. Much milder to-day but raw wind & blustery. Brantford beat Dover 10-3 the other night in Brantford so Dover is out of the running. Pickford is alone now as Bob left the other day and went to Detroit. Tupper has a new man.
