Good rations have come in. The ration people say that the quantity is the best we have had to date.

There are sweet potatoes, yams and pumpkins. Plans are announced to reorganise the vegetable gardens, and soon there'll be a proposal to expand the recently started poultry farm. It seems that the new adminstration does want to improve the internes' food supply - but the war situation is going to frustrate any such efforts.
