Thursday, 8 February, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Partly cloudy, 5 to 25 degrees. Wayne was home with headache. Clifton cut logs. I went to Fultonham with Madalyn to accessory lessons. Paul Ellis stopped in pm. I worked on my dress.
Comment: The lessons must have been about her sewing machine....Paul was our cousin, son of Clarence and Madalene Hubbard Ellis and at one time worked the Elmer Hubbard farm for awhile. Dad was violating all sorts of safety philosophies by cutting logs alone in the woods. There's a whole bunch of stuff that can happen cutting logs and most of it is bad.....of course, we never had any safety helmets or other gear...I still have some faint scars on my leg where I grazed myself with a chainsaw....lucky again....
