We don't get any gasolene to ride so we have to walk.
We don't get any white bread so we have to eat stuff made of flour and corn meal ground so fine that it isn't good.

While everybody gets a little thinner, the universal opinion is that they also get a little better, and nobody is going to die here of hunger.

We feel a little more cheerful about the submarines than we did some time ago.

For some reason they are not getting so many ships.

One reason, I am glad to believe, is that they are getting caught themselves.
