"It is 3:15 am now and the temperature has dropped to about 5 above zero outside the shack where I hold out all week next the shop. However I'm finding that it is quite easy to work at such temperature, without any heat at all, as long as there is shelter from the wind." Details about multiple layers of clothing.
Feb 21, 1960Mr. & Mrs. Rhodes (in Australia)"I hope you will take time to read through the S Cr Bulletins and Report enclosed because they are a sort of history of what has been concerning me most last year and now. Although I have been replaced as "Director of the District" here, my successor and I will get on very well...."
May 8, 1960Bob and Mavis (in New Zealand)"I turned into the gate of my Parents yard just 6 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, and 2 hours from the time I had ridden out of it. ... I returned as a rabid Social Crediter as you may have known; and plugged into the fray almost at once. There were no jobs available to mechanics in the locality, so I decided to forego even looking until after I tried, as the greenest grassiest greenhorn ever, my hand at waging a one man election campaign in this Norfolk County riding where I am, for the June 10th Federal Election of that year, '57."
