Prisoner of War Labor for Harvest Unlikely Here
County agents in the Panhandle report prisoner of war labor will aid farmers little during this harvest period. Prisoners can work only within a three mile radius of air camps, and only one camp in the Panhandle has enough war prisoners. Large group work makes harvesting impractical, unless rules allow small groups. Congressman Worley has urged transferring POWs or using Army personnel to help harvest. Jacob Van Der Clock becomes a grandfather in Paterson New Jersey as his grandson Jacob is born to his daughter-in-law Mrs Jacob Van Der Clock Jr.
