Sunday July 1st

It rained very hard again during the night and has been raining pretty much all day but cleared up enough for us all to get to church. As this is Canada's fiftieth birthday Mr. Johnson had a sermon or at least a compilation of historical facts and statistical figures supposed to be suitable to the occasion but as some of them were incorrect and the rest uninteresting no one seemed to appreciate it as being the proper celebration of the jubilee Dominion day. Dad. Enah and Tim. stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and Frank, Dick and I had dinner alone. Frank and Dick drove down right after dinner but I stayed home all the after noon. Dad. drove home about five and about six Ade. brought Enah, Frank and the baby home in the car. Ade stayed here to tea and took Frank & me back down town in the car. The road was in pretty bad shape for it. I went for a little walk with Marj. & Glad Law and then went down to Auntys and talked to Mr. & Mrs. Millman till bedtime. Nita. and Gwen. Canfield came in for a few minutes but except for passing them on the pier I didn't see any of the rest of the bunch. Dick came down before I left for a few minutes & Frank was with the crowd all the evening & didn't get home till after twelve. Warm after the rain but clearer to-night.
