Wednesday 1st October. 1958. +31°C at 1h 1/2. The workmen came, but do not dare to start work while waiting to receive instructions whether the announced general strike to protest against the introduction of the plan Macmillan (with official Turkish representation in Cyprus) is put into effect. – I propose to them to sit down and wait and that we can start a little later. – After waiting and having noticed that no car passes, so that the strike must have begun, they return to the village. I will give them 2 sh. per workman and per woman through the sheikh I will offer 1/2 day's pay to the Church of the Village for the poor. —
