From and interview with Clotilde Comeau of Weymouth There was a little pond and we, my brothers use to clean the snow and we would skate. We use to skate, I’m digressing here, we use to skate, you know where Lewis’ Mill is, not Lewis, Irving Mill, well there is a pond there and the land belonged to a Mr. Ernest Brooks and my brothers use to go ask him every year if they could dam the meadow, make a dam. And he always gave them permission to do that. And they’d dam the meadow and that’s where we skated on that meadow. We use to make bonfire and it was a lot of fun. From my house, we had to go through the woods to go to that pond. And that’s where we skated.
	From and interview with Arthur Isles We had to make all our own entertainment. Whatever we done We built hockey ponds, back here in the woods, where ever there was a place to get a Pond. And a...we built our own jumpin’ forms, so we could pole vault and jump...so Forth, etc. And a...oh I don’t know. Ah...ah...we had one room, up here in the big House here. My father was a great one fer us to entertain ourselves. So he set aside fer a Room to wrestle and box. We had wrestlin’ matches, boxin’ matches. (laughter)
	From an interview with Jean Ashade of Barton They used to have square dancing once a month or fox trot and they’d go from different houses. My, down at my Uncles, Aunt Alice’s brother spent one winter there and he played guitar and mouth organ and there was others around that played and so they’d clean all of the furniture out of the kitchen and they’d dance in the kitchen and it was a nice big kitchen and then up at the Bahar’s, they used to move the furniture out of the living room and then you always had a nice lunch after, not everyone but maybe three or four people would take things so that the same person didn’t have to provide the lunch every time.
