PRISONERS AT
WORK ON beet
HARVEST here
Officer Warns Only Contact
with Germans Is Through
the Military.

A contingent of $50 German war
prisoners. most of them youthful in
appearance and repeatedly captured
in the fall of the French port of
Cherbourg, arrived at Glasgow
Monday night and by Wednesday

had been working in cotton fields
Of the southwest. Captain Parker
said a medical officer is expected
soon.
After a night spent in coaches,
the men were marched to the air
port, where they will live during the
beet harvest. A Stockade has been
built around a portion of the bar
racks and floodlights installed.
1T is only natural that everyone
should be curious about the prison.
rrSp Captain Parker commented.
However, I must warn civilians
not to attempt to contact them in
any way. The only contact Ear be
through the military or the labor
supervisor. These men are classed as
prisoners and all regulations
for their handling must be abided
oy."
Captain Parker emphasized the
pleasure officers and men have *
pressed over the treatment and CO.
operation they have been given since
n Glasgow. Many Accommodations
nave been provided and, in some
,ases, local people have loaned their
belongings to overcome temporary
mortgages.
County Agent James K. McGibney
aid Arthur Hasbrouck has been APP
'ointed labor supervisor. Farmers
nay not contact prisoners directly
nd all work orders are transmitted
" Mr.. HaSbrouck through interpre-
ers and guards. The county agent,
n turn, expressed his thanks to
Parker for quick work in
prisoners into the fields.
1t is expected the group will be
only for the harvest.

GRANTS FOR
AGED ARE UP
As PERCENT
Large Increase Is Reported in
Assistance Given Group
in County, State.

Valley county'S average monthly
payment for old age assistance is
500 6 but the average recipient has
a total income of $1,000 per month,
it is announced by Maurice Arnold,
county department of public well
fare.
A study of the financial condition
of all recipients of old age assist
ance, recently completed by the
state department of public welfare,
indicates that the grant of assist
ance is frequently received by aged
persons who have some resources
and income of their own but who
require supplementary aid from pub
lie funds. Such resources include
rent-free shelter, small cash earn
ings, contributions from relatives,
etc.
Grants of old age assistance are
made to persons IS and older who
are in need. The amount of the
grant is individually determined in
each case on the basis of the diff
ference between the recipients re-.
quirements for food, clothing, rent,
4uti, lltulCdl CdICs tIC., ana Ills re-
sources and income. The circum-
stances of each recipient are re-
viewed from time to time, usually
every three months, and grants are
increased Or decreased in accord
with changing need.
Mr.. Arnold pointed out that of the
1T persons who received old age as
SiStance in September, SO percent
had resources and other income.
These persons receive a smaller
grant than the recipients who have
40 resources and no other income
md must depend upon the old age
assistance to meet all their require
nentS.
Since September, 1941, the aver
lge grant for old age assistance has
increased from S20.10 to S29.06, or
Is percent in this county. This in
rease has been made necessary by
he increase in the cost of living.
