had tea & went to the Russells where we played Bridge. Made a small slam playing with Mrs Rice. Bridge

Fort. Russell & Davies came round & we discussed the question of fish traps & had a long meeting with the
owners. The owners got very annoyed. Undoubtedly because they know the oil company is a rich company

the court is very bad.
