Rumour that parcels will come tomorrow, with firewood, but nothing official - excpt committee appointed to decide distribution, and suggestions invited.

There's a petition going round to stop food from going to Welfare, and suggestions invited. ((Apparently a plan proposed that some of parcel food should be kept for people in poor health to give them extra, instead of all parcels distributed equally among every one.))

Doreen came for shorthand.

Yesterday news was that Germans must have 12% food cut, and have only enough to last till end of April.
