Campbellton, N.B. Sunday September 14 1930 A brilliant morning and the Gibaut family is all astir cars for the eldest daughter is to be married after noon in the beautiful fine catholic church of Peace. At 7.45 they all go into the autos the Gibaut family in one and the males relatives and he groom in another. Both cars are decorated with red streamers and in front flying Canadian flags. The Bride is well in light blue dress and dross and one of those beauty boy fur trimmed fennies. and fully large straw hats now again in vogue, done a feat. At 8.45 the groom man picks me up and tells me, my time contains of rocks, and passage to the train at the tiny station opposite a station master at the Corner of the Beach. At 9.20 am I go for Lim Point. At Beaupris [station in Peace] I see Baird, Kiddle and the owner of the Perele Hotel, but all I do is to bow to them from the car window, nor do they come into challenges. At Newport the terrigenous or the Chacqueean shales is to the north of the village, and they are extensive. I ought to put some young man to write out this region. It will make a good structural and petrographic area. Of froms there more time at all times should look for Mid. Ord. faunistics. It looks as if the place opposite the south-eastern shore of the St. Lawrence Channel is again the northern shore of the New Brunswick seanteline.
