General Secretary Herbert s..
Smith received the following infor-
nation from the Worlds Commit
tee of the Y. M. G. A.:
"Three million men are now pris-
oners behind barbed wire in war
camps of Europe and other parts OF
the world 500, 900 of them French,
Belgian, Polish and British prisoners
in German Camps.
These are the authentic figures on
the number of captiveS now held in
war prison camps says a neutral OBJ
server, Tracy Strong, General Sec
Rotary of the World Alliance of Y.
M. C. AS, reporting on one phase
of the war situation about which
| few unbiased reports have been re-
ceived in this country.
Mr.. Strong is on viist to the
United States and Canada, repre-
senting the prisoners of-war work
which the belligerent powers have
authorized the Young Mems Chris
tian Association to carry on in all
prison camps.
Arranging Programs
Mr.. Strong negotiated arrange
ments with the German Foreign Of
flee and the Allied governments a
year ago. Since that time, he has
made four trips to Germany, visit
ing camps an darranging for neutral
secretaries to carry on recreational
and religious programs among pris-
onerS.
'They are the forgotten men Of
today" he said in his statement. "All
are confronted with the basic prob
lens of captiyity-long days and
weeks at manual labor-or worse
with nothing to do. They are men
for whom it is agony to think too
much about the past, and agony to
think too much about the future"
Announcing a campaign to secure
$780, 900 for immediate needs in pro-
viding recreational, educational and
religious programs, he said: BE

latter and spirit of the Geneva Con-
vention, he stated.

Better Buyers scored another hit at their last
public meeting February -.
Planned, as the chairman of the program, Mrs.
8ernice Brautigm said, "like we'll balanced neal"
sugar; main dish-discussion on milk: and the
dessert skit "our Anti-Gossip Club.
The movie told not only the story of sugar but
touched on the rehabilitation of the natives in the
Virgin Islands through government aid.
The milk discussion followed a short introduction
by Dir. Shorb, chairman of the Maryland Consumers
Milk Comi ttee. Of special interest was the milk
tasting test which included six or seven quarts
OF milk ranging from ordinary Grade to Homogenized
Vitanin A. Among the tasters several good
guessers but opinions varied greatly. For example
the brand of mi TX received such diverse comment
as "too watery mot so creamy" "too creamy, etc.
Practically everyone in the AUDIENCE signed the
buying club petition.
The dessert grand finale of the evening--the
sk1t "or Anti-Gossip Club" played by Better Buyers
and directed by Miss ollie Hoffman-offered strong
competition to the Greenbelt Players.

"They Learn Today for Tomorrow They By~, which
stressed several points In teaching child how to

sele ctions and aimed the modern teach
ing group music which especially interesting to
all mothers present.
Miss Hoffman's first point in training children
to buy was to teach them to low quality and take
pride in having it. Teaching them good books
to attend god movies and to Listen god symphonies
on the radio would Lead them re and patron

Miss Hoffman said, Mt pays to know quail ty.
Buying quality keeps the best turer in bust

urer is put out of business by quality buyers.
If manufacturer finds that people do not Like
his goods, he does of three things:
1. Finds way to the customers taste-s way
to make them like his goods.
2. Changes his article brand.
;. Goes out Of business.

3. New uses for old products.
