29th August - 1st September, 1947 - "Mrs Parkington" and a local feud...

Friday, 29^th August, 1947

Very hot day today.

Myself and three other B/Cs went to Nablus to the Club Cinema.  “Mrs Parkington” was the film and I think I was the only one of our party that enjoyed it.

I received a parcel of newspapers from home and “Charles Dickens” from the Book Club.

Saturday, 30^th August, 1947

Another case was reported today.  On the night of 28/29.8.47 some firewood belonging to a man in Tubas was set on fire.  The accused is unknown by me but we suspect the relations of the two boys who were blown up the other day.  The boys were buried on the 28^th and the comp. family were celebrating a wedding.  Their festivities are believed to have provoked the other family.

We were paid today.

The army left today more are expected.
