The relations with the Coast Guard has been improving considerably 
since I have been going over to Johnston to play bridge with the 
CO and several important persons on Johnston# The people we deal 
with on Johnston all come to the weekly card games. Also the 
peons we live with think it is nice that there is a bird man that 
is human, they did not appreciate some of the birdmen assigned 
out here. After some of the stories they have told me I don f t 
blame them a bit# 
"'here are several things we need and we will make the usual 
plea for things that are on the mind and we know we will have to 
wait until we get to the mainland until we can obtain them* at least 
we can try.
