(continued from previous page)
hail Marys in honour of the blessed Virgin and ask God to send everything easy to you for the year and he would. On May morning it isn't right to put out the ashes. To put it in a bucket and leave it in the house. Some people don't like to give away a coal on May day and other people will give them away just the same as any other day. Anyone don't like to lend anything out of the house on May day. They say you will give away all the milk and butter of the cows until May day again.
