Marj. and I went down to Sunday school and church and as usual stayed at Aunty's for dinner. Quint & Frank were there too but they left soon after dinner Quint to go skating on the lake with Joe and Frank home Dad. and Enah drove down about four o'clock about the time we were leaving and they stayed here for a few minutes to meet Hugh Tibbits who is here for the week-end and was going down there. He is defending one of the big timber company's in this Government timber inquiry and expects to be here again I worked at Mr. Johnston's memorial scroll to-night.

Monday January 31st

It has been cold and raw all day with an east wind and we haven't done anything but chores, except this morning Dad. and Frank cut up an apple tree that was down in the orchard. I cleaned and curried for a long time at Rachel, she is in bad shape from rubbing herself. We just sat around this after noon till chore time. Mid. Thompson called up to say that they wanted the band to play a little at the hockey concert to-night so Marj. and I went down to Aunty's for tea. The band just played a little on the start. The concert which was all local talent was very good. It consisted of dances by little girls. Marie Mitchel who also played the violin Mary Clone and Agnes Sterling, reading by Lila, songs by Zeitha Charlie Nunn & a Mr. Hodgekins and a boxing contest between Charlie Warren and Capt. Robinson. It was rich, after the captains second had shaken a couple of rocks out of Charlie's gloves, he went at the captain who was very much overcome with mirth and and gave him an awful worrying, he would jump a couple of feet off the ground to hit the captain in the face and then drop down and run between his legs eventually he floored him and Manning who was refferee counted him out. Reeve Taylor was supposed to have drawn the tickets in the raffle for the picture that Harry Dyer painted and gave to the band but he was sick so the captain announced that as he had come "darn near" being reeve he would make the draw, he had Mary Crone to assist him and read the numbers as he had forgotten his glasses and Mrs. Billy Low held the lucky number and got the picture.
