Farmers and produce growers
of Macomb County numbering
$50 met last week at Utica High
school auditorium to add weight
t. the national farm movement
insisting on full compliance of
Selective Service boards with
the Tydings amendment.
The latter legislation provides
that essential men in food pro-
duction who cannot be replaced
should not be drafted for mill
tary service.
John j. Hack, of Armada,
president of the Wolverine
State Growers A S ociation,
which called the meeting, was
the principal speaker. He dis
cussed the Tydings amendment
and insisted that it be strictly
observed. However, he pointed
out that the association would
not countenance any request for
deferment of farm worker un-
less that individual is engaged
100 per cent in food produc-
ton and cannot be replaced.
In outspoken terms, Hack
criticised those farmers who
had thrown up their hands
and talked about quitting when
their sons or hired hands were
drafted.
Regardless of whether farm
labor is drafted or not, there
must be no let-up in food pro-
duction," Hack insisted. I'VE

quantity of all foods, for the

British, Yankee
Prisoners Moved
Inland by Nazis

WASHINGTON - American
and British prisoners of war de-
tanned in camps on the line OF
the present Soviet advance were
moved toward the center OF Ger
many several weeks ago, Red
Cross chairman Basil OConnor
announced today.
The three camps already al
fected were known to be located
between Poznan and Torun IN
Poland. Official word of the
movement of one of these, Stalag
357, was sent 10 Geneva in De-
cember. 1t is assumed that pris-
oners in Stalag XX-A and Oflag
81. have been moved in the same
manner.
The two camps nearest Torun
held chiefly British prisoners,
but Oflag Ga contained at least a
thousand Americans. A number
of other large camps for British
and Americans lie in the path of
the present advance.
Red Gross officials state that
confusion undoubtedly prevails
in the hurried attempts to move
large bodies of men who have
first TO be collected from work
attachments widely scattered
from the base camp.
1t is known that much hard
ship was suffered by British and
American airmen who were
moved last summer from Stalag
Luft vi through northern Prus-
sia to Stalag Luft Nv. These men
will proba bly, now have to be
moved again.
Provision has been made to
send emergency Red Cross sup
plies to camps in Germany
where the men may be taken
and also TO supply those who
may be liberated by the Soviet
armies.
