Great astonishment. 200 Canadians and Volunteers digging vegetable garden in centre of racecourse. Rosary Hill women hang around. Mavis Xavier and others pinched briefly for signalling.
Bill Shea arrested. Wife Rose sad. Food rejected.
Stanley Camp bombed, fourteen killed. Up to 9th January not a bomb since Xmas though daily alerts.
