Another warm misty morning but ground is firmer. Got Sgt. Wood started on new lines for negro cafeteria and then heard all Swartont water valves functioning badly. Worked all AM with Donelly getting them regulated and leaned quite a bit. Hear were to shut down at 3AM. Spent rest of afternoon till 6:15 getting lined up. Home so late cafeteria wouldn't fed me. Quick lunch expensive and punk. They simply can't cook. Made out expense acct and sent in for books.
