Sunday October 31st

Marj. George & Harry B walked to church this morning while Frank and I did house chores and looked after Gay & the Doodlebug. Frank got in line with several church services over his Radio. Harry B. stayed down at Aunties for dinner and Marj. the other two and I drove down and got him this after noon. We got St Paul's {Toronto} service quite plainly by Radio to-night all except Canon Cody's sermon.

Monday November 1st

Frank and George went down to Pickfords to help him load some pigs this morning and then Frank made a corn horse and this after noon we all started to cut the corn by hand but it blew and drizzled rain so that we got sick of the job and all went down to the creek for a while. Our curiosity was first aroused in that direction by a white object down the road which on closer inspection proved to be John S. Martin's new manure spreader that had been the object of a Hallowe'en prank and treated to a coat of white wash. Cecil & Co. finished the house to-day. Marj. & I went to the picture show to-night.
