drawing in hay and papering m room doesnt go too well together you see partner is drawing in hay alone and i am papering a room also alone sometimes part ner draws hi load to the middle of the bam floor other time he stop outside the first mow and it is then that i hear a loud call lo come and block the wagon to stop it from run ning backwards now it is easy enough to run outside if one happen lo lie washing dishes or sweeping n loom hut when you are perched on lop of a stepladder and you are struggling with a strip of paired wall paper which you have already had trouble enough with anyway and then comes that clarion call for lielp well there likely to he more i rouble right aw ay you give lie strip a final swish with the brush hoping to get tlw paper straight be fore you leave so tlie paste wont dry while youre away but more hurry less speed instead of smoothing the paper you make it full of wrinkle the sos from the ham come again and in your hurry you pretty near come head first off the stepladder however were getting there part ner got in three load of hay this morning and i have my room half papered now i have to get thl column written up and then away down town for chicken feed and thats the way it go there are two bedroom that i hnve been papering this spring or mrhai we should say mimmer and if i ever get them done it will be something to tell the marine you see i can manage the sldewall with out any trouble at all but i expectd help with the celling so far x havent been able to get that help so x hope anyone who pay u a call will be very demure and sit with down ward glance i would attempt the job myself but my knees are too stiff for me to try and i would hate to break my neck and then have to lie in bed and look at the celling x didnt finish partner i having a great tune to himself in the hoyficld we are just considering the advisability of calling in farm commando the trouble 1 to get them juit when you want them and how to work thing so a to be far enough ahead to mnke use of the help when you get it there are several farmer around here work ing alone and the hay crop i so heavy at the end of the day part ner 1 quite ready to hit the hay in another sense which bring me to another little story one of our nearby neighbor came in last saturday morning when i saw him i inquired if he had had a good night rest the night before he looked somewhat mystified but as sured me that he had then you shouldnt have done i sold part ner didnt oh what was the matter with him una the natural question nothing was the matter with him except that he was up in the middle of the night chasing your cow buck home prawmtyjtiy neig u the harn and partner told him he was going to charge ilm up for u new pair of house dippers i dont know how many cow were over here but they made enough noise to wake the seven sleeper however we forgot about cow and everything else for a little while when we heard the war news july 10th 19431 imagine we shall re member that date the day for which we had long been waiting albeit with a complexity of emotions the day which marked the beginning of the invasion of europe we knew it would come it had to come but when we think of the cost to be ex acted for every allied victory it is only natural for an icy fear to grip our hearts and yet we are supposed to be giving our thoughts to matters concerning a provincial election x wonder how the powers that be ex pect to get the midlers votes from sicily t and how many soldiers and airman will care who gets in at queens park anyway there is a storm coming i mean an electrical storm it looks like a bad one i can hardly see what i am writing guess id better quit any way and find out what my chickens are doing the rain will spoil the hay but it will help
