The Bryans have found temporary housing to share with the Wilsons. Janet navigates new housing again, this time with tonsilitus and access to a kitchen. Near their housing are a Coast Guard station and a Army Coast Artillery Unit.The battilion is now out of Western Defense Command (combat zone); the men are allowed more leave. The Bryans went to spend part of Ray's 15 day leave with Janet's Aunt Helen in Los Angeles. They did considerable sightseeing and Janet's cousin Sonny Tufts got them a tour at Paramount. They saw the filming of a scene of The Story of Dr. Wassel, and Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Janet lists the celebrities they've seen. They attended a few broadcasts and observed that there were many reserved for servicemen. Janet mentions a streetcar and bus strike.
