They usually plan to take in two
or three camps in a days run.
Often the stations are so isolated
that it is impossible to reach more
than one with any hoop of getting
back to the center before the next
morning. The intense cold and the
mud cause innumerable hardships
and render entirely inadequate the
ordinary Red Cross field uniforms,
made of the same material as those
of the Army.
The other night the two girls
started back from a distant outpost
in a snoWStorm little after dark.
They did not know the roads. Di-
rectlonS from country people were
vague, confusing and in curious
dialect. They became hopelessly
lost. Each drove a half hour at
tlme-all that could be- endured be-
cause of the binding snow. Finally
they stopped at an isolated farm
house and were given what they
thought to be adequate directions.
Again they started out and again
were lost, A farmhouse once more
doomed through the snow. When
they raped at the door the same
man, who had directed them before,
answered. They were back at the
place from which they had started

The last war also dealt a death
blow to the stiff shirt and the

The soft shirt with the attached
collar was one of the fruits of vic

the Red Cross field canteen service
for American soldiers stationed in
lonely spots over the British Isles,

Few soldiers not in actual combat

They are Miss Eileen Tyler. 2426

Toughest of Jobs.
Altogether they have had perhaps
the toughest job of any Red Cross
workers in England They are op-
orators Of so-called "clubmooile."
United States troops here are widely
scattered. In one village. many
miles from any center where the
ordinary activities of the Red Cross
can be carried on, may be encamped
a single company, OF even one pla-
toon. The men seldom can get
leave and when they do. transporta-
uon often is not available.
The Red Cross conceived the idea
OF nttlng out cars, for the most part
converted English buses, which had
gone Off the highways because of
gasoline shortage, into travelling
doughnut-and-coffee kitchens with
monographs and records for enter
talnment and dancing. The plan
was to station one of these at
central point and send it out so
or so miles in different direction
each day to take in the isolated
camps.
Since Miss Tyler and Miss Ellis
started the first clubmobile five
others have been placed on the
English roads, and eventually so
will be in service.
Doughnuts and Coffee.
The chief activity to date has
been the serving of American style
doughnuts and American coffee.
The two girls have fried thousands

Educator Says Stores

Maryland in Grave Need
Of Men to Harvest Crops
AWVS Rally Is Told

Cities like Cumberland and Hagers-
town may have to shut down their
stores and shops to supply Maryland
farmers with sufficient labor to har-
vest their 1943 crops. DR.. Thomas
Symons, dean of agriculture at the
University of Maryland and head of
the State Extension Service, pre-
dicted here last night.
Maryland farmers are losing 10
men to industry to every farm hand
being drafted, he told an American
Women's Voluntary Services farm
rally held In the Interior Depart
ment auditorium.
Draft boards in the State have
given sympathetic treatment" in the
drafting Of farm labor, DR.. Symons
said, but the problem remains seri-
| Gus.
He told of attending a farmers
cooperative meeting in Frederick
yesterday at which farmers asserted
they would not be able to meet 1943
| food production goals set by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard unless
they had more help.
Not Always Fault of Army.
John o, Walker, who was appoint
ed by Agriculture Secretary Wickard
today to recruit volunteer army
of farm workers. told the group that
American farmers we're badly
frightened - that they won't be
able to harvest their crops this
year" He estimated it would re-
quire 100000 people to plant and
harvest crops in 1943.
Declaring that the fault does not
always lie with the Army" Mr..
Walker pointed out that Army and
other armed services had taken 40
per cent of the farm help that has
left American farms since the war
began, while industry has taken so
per cent.
He said that "all idle men and
women in this country" will have to
do their part in solving the problem
before the war is over"
Mrs. Eugene Meyer predicted that
it might be necessary to release ex-
perlenced men from the Army for
farm work unless the drain of man
power from farms was halted. She
advocated firm stand by the Gov
eminent in solving the problem
Land Army Courses Planned.
The rally last night, called by the
AWVS Women's Land Army, was
designed to recruit women in the
new movement of part-time aid to
farmers during harvesting and
planting periods.
Glasses to acquaint women with
farm subjects will be given under
auspices of the Land Army begin
ming next week. One course will be
held at the University of MARYLAND
starting Tuesday from 1890 a m. to
4:40 pm. Another will open Wed
nesday, 7:30 to $50 pm, at AWVS

Secretary of State Hull
avoided a direct answer when
asked today whether the State
Department had requested the
transfer of Ernst Hanfstaengl,
Harvard educated former close
associate of Adolf Hitler, from
a Canadian internment camp
to this country.
He told a press conference
that all he could say in con-
nection with this question was
that Hanfstaengl never has at
