Sylvia had a good day at work and got the new license plates for the car, after waiting thirty minutes for them. Can't use the car very often, as now she only had "A" [ration] coupons, so only one and a half gallons of gas a week. Talks in general about all of the expenses of the car, housing and insuring it. Had dinner with Moe's mother. Reports on his Mom and Dad and family.
