Farm Workers To Leave Here Today
More than one hundred Jamaican and Bahaman farm workers will leave labor camps near Smithsburg and Hancock today after a summer filling the wartime farm labor gap. From Smithsburg 63 Jamaicans head to Florida and 45 Bahamans from Hancock will depart, with others remaining to finish 1944 harvests. Also note that Bahamans and Jamaicans worked in the county for the first and second time, aided by Penal Farm workers and German POWs to prevent production loss. The Philadelphia report adds that Mrs. Berta Bergdoll has applied for citizenship, with the INS noting the application is under review and print department holdings at the Art Institute of Chicago exceed 15,000 drawings and etchings.

Madigan proposes postwar interconference football game
Chicago October 31 Edward Slip Madigan now coaching at Iowa urged a postseason game between Western Conference and Pacific Coast Conference champions at a Chicago lunch. He argued such a game would cement regional rivalry and offer a firmer basis to compare teams, though Western Conference coaches were split on the idea. The plan would not affect the Rose Bowl ruling. The article notes the snake family ranges from small grass snakes to 40 foot pythons.
