Mon, 30 Oct 1944

Cloudy, muggy. NE wind.

Cookhouse construction.

Workers oil & sugar issued. ½ lb W.T. residue Y6 (7/-) & 12 cigs issued.

Paper tries its best to make Taiwan & Phillipine Battles o’erwhelming wins for them, but they cannot help but indicate the true trend of events. The Yanks may be having a rough time but they are winning. Euro news very scanty.

With Steve pm.

Mary gave me Y20.

Air-raid alarm 9.15pm. Planes around but nothing dropped, reconnaissance perhaps.
