Saturday, April 1, 1922 Kent went down to see about the mail but no mail came. The storm put the Hydro out of order and the telephones are all out. In the afternoon Kent went to W. E. Gordon’s and got 23 bush[els] and 30 lbs of oats at 40 cents a bushel — $9.05. The day was fine and the frost cleared off the trees.

Sunday, April 2, 1922 I walked up to Church in the morning. There were no cars running and the telephone was off. The day was very fine.

Monday, April 3, 1922 Kent delivered mail to the Bay and round the townline with Lloyd and George to the Bay and round the townline with Evelyn. I delivered on the Club Point with John. We had three days' mail as the cars didn’t run on Friday and Saturday. The greater part of the day was fine but it sprinkled rain in the evening.
