This morning, I marked out where my hut is to be. The men already have several poles ready for it. Samuel McConnell (builder of clinics and missionary houses) took a crew of men to Imehejek this morning. The Land Rover did not want to start. I checked the spark and it was alright. Then I disconnected the air cleaner and looked at the carburetor. When I held my hand over the carburetor and left only a small opening for air while Samuel ran the starter, it started. I guess it needed to be choked harder than the choke would choke it. It gave no more problems for the rest of the day. I adjusted the idle when they got back.
I spent the morning at the Lohutok children's clinic gathering data. I do not know how good the weight data is. It shows a big problem of underweight children this time of year. That is almost certainly partly due to bias caused by a higher turnout of sick than of healthy children. I need to gather more data later in the year to see if there are changes.

This afternoon, a missionary from Katiri or Katire. (I am unsure of the spelling.) She wants to pick up some stuff from tomorrow's plane. She used to work here at Lohutok.
