re report today that patients at Tweed Bay Hospital can get bananas for 10 cents each, I'd point out that from time to time a supply of bananas was sent into the camp - for sale to any internee who had the money to buy them, not only for patients.  As I remember it, for some reason the bananas were delivered to Tweed Bay Hospital office for sale.
