and I have started cutting wood for the shelves. Arnold began to sand for the Polar electric motor. Bruce worked on some at the radio leads in the house while Wilhel jumped about between kitchen, radio shack, and edge mugs. The jungle crews have brought in enough white wood for the raft as well as some small wood for you on the stage buildings. The food for the 51 Sentori has me to date been 1 1/2 lbs. per man per day. Yesterday and today we received sago, this "natural food" and as we have changed their diet back to their normal one. The sago comes in a basket 40-50 lb each, and is delivered at .55 cents per lb. 5 cents is for transportation. Up to date we have received 14 baskets, 3 yesterday, 11 today. In taste the sago is like a thick brown flour paste, and when cooked it a brownish translucent mass of jelly-like mass. This has been very slight as to its quantity to feed. The doctor says 1 basket for 46 men per day while the glazed hole "Mr. Foodland" says that 1 basket for 50 men is enough. Mr. Bruce, however, thinks that more should be fed and suggests that the Papuans be given all they want but now be wasted. May 14 Balleria New Guinea. The work goes on slowly each day a bit more accomplished and gradually our tasks are completed. I worked on the shelves in garden II today, Bruce on the generator shack, Bruce on the white maiden and Wilhel on the Radio Shack and kitchen. At reduced the number of cooking this evening by 22. At selected the best of the 61 Lorato leaving 39 and the Sentori 51. This coming Monday we will work at the Sentori cookhouse. There was a round of tobacco this evening and a peg of old Lincardo F1.80 guilders.
