Tuesday, January 7, 1941:Our soldier the ''janitor'' is getting on everybody's nerves. He is disliked by his mates as well as internees, forcing them out to work and bringing them to jail if they refuse. Though they are mostly released quickly by the sergeant to his greatest distress. I find that camp spokesmen should see to it that these things need not happen at all. Yet it looks as if by all possible means it is tried to keep one from studying by forcing people out top work. There may a hundred people be outside or 200 or 300 they'll always will need three or four men who are not needed at all but just have

to pass the gate thus wasting their time while the commandant is not even drawing the slightest benefit from them. if forced you just won't do a thing you are willing to do if asked to do them according to an intelligent scheme.

One afternoon in was just sitting on my hands for three hours waiting to get home again as quickly as possible - Not even orderly duties prevent you from being landed for outside work. - was shown a letter from Paterson to Captain Gow giving information of dispatch of a case. This will probably be in connection with Auntie's letter to her Ottawa friend. Saw the dentist today. Gave my tooth a good drilling.

Have a long lie this morning. It is snowing quite heavily. No farm party out today. Snow falls continue. Snow is about 3 feet deep. Receive fine and handy suitcase from Mr. Paterson of Ottawa
