Prisoners Seek
Incentive Wages

Hancock area fruit growers await
ed army action on a request to be
allowed to pay piecework wages as
an incentive to German prisoners
whom they said picked only half as
much apples as civilians.
A member of the Hancock Fruit
Growers Association quoted officials
of the Green Ridge, Md. prisoner
camp as saying that the captivcs
could not be paid more than so cents
a day under the Geneva agreement
but the grower said that association
members hoped for permission to
work out some type of pjeccwork pay.
Several growers declared that pris-
oners assigned to them picked an av-
erage of only 25 bushels daily while
civilians, paid 10 cents bushel, har-
vested from AZ to n bushels.
One orchardist said prisoner told
him Give us an incentive and if the
Americans pick so bushels day,
then we'll pick 100
The action of Alegany county
prisoners is of particular interest at
this time when there is talk of a
prisoner of war camp in this county.

getting any number of reports of
fine catches of large-mouthed bass
that are weighing better than five
pounds" While in Garrett county

"surprised to learn of the many fine
catches of fish being taken in the
lake. For a number Of years after
Deep Creek Lake was opened to the
public it did not do so well, but VIC
finally struck our stride on the proper
fish to stock and we arc moro than

Forestry Officials
Seek Reconsideration
From Commissioners
Their Request for Establishment
OF War Camp On Meadow
Mountain Gets No Support

An appeal to the County Commits
sioners by the State Forestry De
partmcnt to reconsider the question
of war prisoners in Garrett county,
specifically the establishment of a
prison camp on the site of the Meadow
Mountain CCC camp, met with no
success on Tuesday afternoon at the
Commissioners office in the Court
House
Speaking for the Forestry depart
ment were Joseph i. Kaylor, state
forester, and William II. johnson, dis
trict forester. Several others were
present before the board to express
their opinions.
Mr.. kaylor remarked that the
boards refusal to consider the camp
which would be used in cleaning out
areas damaged by the tornado, and
also in obtaining a large quantity of
pulp wood for sale, would eliminate
the county from participating in pos
Siblc revenue. He pointed out the pos
sibility of obtaining 25,0OO cords OF
wood, worth $300,O00 of which tho
county would receive fifteen percent
around $4,000, and also said the
prisoners would have made it possible
for a lot of citizens of the county tc
be helped in clearing their forcst
lands of fire hazards. left by the tor
nado
Mr. kaylor said he had challenged
the statement by c. f. MacMurraN
of the Pennsylvania Electric company
, who reported to the County Commits
sioncrs that he believed the official,
of the State Department of Forests
and Parks were unduly aroused over
the danger of forest fires as result o.
the tornado.
Others who were present at the
meeting, including Mayor l.. NJ. Fra
Icy. Of Oakland, declared they realzeC
| the need of extra labor to gatheI
pulp wood and clear the forests, bu
that they had miSgivings concerning
the possibility of escape of the Ger
man prisoners and the subscqucn
