OSWEGO, N. Y, Sept. 23.-1R-
One of the first questions asked,
when 982 European refugees arrlv-
ed at the war relocation authorl-
tvs Fort Ontario emergency rel
ugee shelter last month for the
wars duration, was: "Wln they
go back to Europe?"
The answer was, and still IS,
yes" the WARA says.
The refugees were brought te
this country under definite agree
ment that they would return and
many of them are looking forward
to a speedy end to this European
war, so that they may regain their
homelands.
This. the WRA says, is particu'
larly true of the Yugoslavs, whose
native land has escaped some Of
the devastation of other countries
Their 463 form the largest single
group among the II different ma
tionalities.
The manner of the refugees re
turn has not been decided. Mean
while, their attitude is typified by
the calm resignation of DR.. Av'
ram Ruhvarger, 80. and his pretty
wife, Zdenka, 10, both Yugoslavs
Their only complaint: MOI
enough work.
1--WE are very happy to be here,
both say. But DR.. Ruhvarger,
working in the shelter hospital
adds "only one appendectomy; moi
enough to do"
Work assigned to. the refugees
depends on their capabilities-thus
some find themselves busy 10 OF
IL hours a day in essential serv
ices, while others have nothing tt
do. ...M
There has been some agitation
for outside employment, but the
WRA has resisted this under the
Washington originated policy that

ing house for people to 60 out tt

all the broken glass and dishes, rearranged
the tables, and set them with linen and silver
and were standing to their stations, inviting
us to lunch.

clerk from Albany who went along on the ST..

was lying on his berth. Dewey wanted him to
get into the last ambulance but he wouldn't
leave and his wound was not dressed until

Hirsch Jacobs, once a pigeon

and just about the best in the
business, led the trainers again in
1943, to make IL the tenth time in
eleven years that he has had this
distinction. Since he started, about

1902 winners, for a purse total of
$1,710,687. NOT BAD!

in six starts, were an unbeatable
combination.
Clyde Tolson, a fair sort of horse

came to life with a bang recently,
and ran away from a field of the

This good race enriched the Golfers
of his owner, but at the same time
made it possible for the owner TO
garner the sheckels at the mutuel
window. For winning, Clyde Toll
son paid these prices: $203.80 to
win; 5000 to place, and $3.50 to
show. For a $500 combination play,
the pay-off was $169.15. For $500

$33S.30.
