Election Day. Cloudy in am, clearing in pm, 22-32 degrees. Clifton and Doug went to Middleburgh and bought a new chain saw. Marilyn called and said they had a letter from Mae Hatch and the job was waiting for them.
Comment: Not sure what's going on with the job......our first chain saw was a two-man Mall chain saw like this one and it made for a long day of it in the woods.....from Hubbard Hill Memories: "In the winter it was cold as hell and every week the boys as well as Dad would go to cut some firewood.
With that old Farmall and Mall chainsaw we’d find a tree and make a fall and cut it up as quickly as we could.
For the winter wind and chill was bearing down,
As we struggled in the that cold and muddy ground,
Then we loaded up a half a cord and shivered while the tractor roared and took us tired half frozen homeward bound."
