2 more khaki sleeveless garments each issued.

Slept in with Mum last night because my bed (camp) bed gave way when Tony sat on it.

Walked with Mabel and the toddlers in morning, dear little Jean (Addis Martin), Patricia Braude, Bill Owens, and little devil Christopher Jones trying to put devilry into Bill; the girls looked so sweet in the pixie hats Mum made for them.  ((Mabel made looking after toddlers and re-making their clothes her camp job))

Concert in evening. The star turn was 'Marie and some of her Boy Friends'- Marie O'Connor has a voice like Deanna Durbin's - sweet and true.

Every one busy sewing. ((adapting the sleeveless garments into more suitable wear))
