Tombstone SIeuths Hunt
Early American Families

The Tombstone Hounds is the
nickname of the Genealogical Soci-
ETY. of New Jersey, with headquar-
tiers in Newark. The Hounds make
field trips on Saturdays and Sun
days to old burying grounds where
they collect genealogical data from
gravestone inscriptions. Members
include retired bankers, lawyers and
business men who have taken up
genealogy as a hobby. In % years
they have collected data on 100000
graves in $50 of New Jerseys ceme-
teries. Names, dates and other facts
are recorded and published, and are
filed as a permanent family record
for any interested progeny.
When the Hounds enter a ceme-
terry, they carry with them their
equipment: a mirror, trowel, brush
and pumice. With the help of these
they decipher inscriptions on stones
hundreds of years old.
The gravestone pictured at right
is typical one. 1t was set up when
the United States was in its infancy,
and commentaries the two wives
of Isaac Fourat. The inscription, in

Thar's Pearls in
Them Thar Creeks!

Over 500 species of pearlbearing
mussels await amateur and profess
sional hunters in the streams Of
N. America, claims an article in Lib
erty magazine, which recommends
pearling as fascinating new hob
by, requiring no financial outlay.
The internationally famous Queen
Pearl of Empress Eugenie's royal
jewels was picked up by carpen-
ter in a New Jersey creek, and in
1890 a London dealer paid 100000
for pearls taken from Sugar River in
Wisconsin.
Pearl hunting requires no special
skill, but is an eyestraining and back
breaking job it's like picking
potatoes, only worse. You wade the
creek, moving always upstream so
you don't muddy the water ahead as
you comb the bed for mussels. Open
ing the mussels is no cinch but there
is the constant excitement of a pos
sible find. Shorts or bathing suits
are the ideal garb; the only other
equipment needed is a bag or bas-
ket for carrying mussels and knife
to open them.

Billion Bushel
Wheat Crop Will
Cram Elevators
Shortage of Freight Cars
May Force Many Farmers
To Store Grain at Home

Harvesting bumper crop of
wheat may be easier this year than
finding satisfactory place to store
It, according to the U. S. department
Of agriculture. Freight car and truck
transportation of wheat to terminal
points is expected to be seriously
curtailed by movement of war ma
terial to the Pacific coast. Growers
are being urged to plan now for
home storage of a big part of their
grain.
Although most community build
ings, such as schools, theaters and
churches, have already been re-
claimed for wartime purposes if
they had outlived their original use
fulnesS, few localities will fail to
have at least one such structure suit
able for wheat storage. These, along
with the space in old sheds, garages,
coal bins, and similar places will
have to be put to a new use.
Few steel bins will be available
this year, but some emergency bins
are expected to be constructed of
two-by-four inch welded wire mesh
lined with taxpayer or sisalcraft,
and rooted as protection against the
weather. Materials in considerable
quantity for these bins, found by
government test to be an inexpen-
sive and satisfactory means of grain
storage, are reported available. Or
ders should be placed with dealers
Immediately to insure manufacture
and delivery in time for use. No
certificate is required. Fencing COM
panies have been given authority to
produce certain percentage of
their product in welded mesh, but
orders must be on their books be-
fore they can manufacture. About
month will probably be required for
delivery.

prepared to give priority assistance
to farmers who wish to get materi-
ais for building new granaries, en-
larging old ones or making extern
sive repairs in the conversion of
buildings to storage. Lumber is the
main material requiring priority in
most areas, although in some locali-
ties others are included. Lumber
certificates are issued by county

within the new $1,000 limitation on
farm service buildings, and they
make recommendations under WPB-
GIT for construction requests above
the limitation point. 1t is pointed
out that applicants must ask for a
waiver to use lumber. Some deal
ers have a limited quantity of lum-
Der without certificate.
Prospects are for a 1945 wheat
crop of 1904, $4,000 bushels, the
largest on record. If realized it will
top last years bumper crop, and
will be the third crop of over bill
lion bushels in the history of the
United States wheat production. The
winter wheat crop is expected to be
some 797, 255, 900 bushels, second
largest on record and exceeded only
by the 1926 million bushels harvested
in 1881. Harvest of the crop is al
ready under way in some areas.
Many farm bins and country ele-
vators are already full of 1914 wheat
and other bulk grains, and in the 10

assumed serious proportions, ac-
cording to government surveys.

Purpose Was to Break
Will to Resist

Bruno Bethlehem, author of "My
Life in Nazi Concentration Camps"
testifies to the purpose of the camps
and the achievement of this purpose
by the gestapo from his own expert
ences. He says that among the aims
were these:
l. To break the prisoners as indi-
viduals and convert them into docile
masses from which no individual or
group act of resistance could arise.
2. To spread terror among the
rest of the population by:
a. Using the prisoners as hos
tages;
b. Demonstrating to them what
happened to those who opposed Nazi
rulers.
8. To provide gestapo members
with training ground so they could:
a. Lose all human attitudes and
emotions;
b. Learn the most effective
ways of breaking civilian resist
ance
4. To provide a laboratory in
which the gestapo could study the
effectiveness of torture, minimum
nourishment and medical care, and
normal activities plus hard labor.
The general purpose, of course,
was to create civilian population
of maximum benefit to the Nazi
state.
The authors study of prisoners,
conducted under the camp regime,
supplemented by a careful self
analysis, leads him to believe that
the camp treatment resulted in
either death or an adaptation to
camp life. The prisoner finally ac-
cepted his position and even came
to initiate the gestapo in manner
and conduct.
This seems logical progression
when we know that the gestapo
themselves in their training were
submitted to fortunes almost equal to
those inflicted on the prisoners.
One of the gestapo games, the au-
thor relates, was for two of them
to stand up and beat each other.
The one who stood the longest,
won. Old prisoners who were thor
oughtly changed" were said to in
dulge in the same sport among
themselves.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-07-27

as he was to processes logically con-
trolled by law and order. To be de-.
prived suddenly of ones civil rights
with no recourse, came as a severe
blow to the prisoners mentality.
The transportation to the camp
and the initiation into it frequently
is the first experience of physical
and psychological torture which the
prisoner has ever experienced.
Corporal punishment, says Bettel-
helm, describing his own observa-
tons, consisted of whipping, kick
ing, slapping, intermingled with
shooting and wounding with the
bayonet. Then there were fortunes,
the obvious goal Of which was ex-
treme exhaustion. For instance"
he says, "the prisoners were forced
to stare for hours into glazing lights,
to kneel for hours, and so on. From
time to time prisoner got killed;
no prisoner was permitted to take
care of his or another's wounds. The
purpose of the fortunes was to
break the resistance of the pris-
oners, and to assure the guard that
they were really superior to Them"
Many were killed in this process,
But those who lived, according to
the author, were conditioned to the
point where what followed-more
beatings, more indignities, little
food, exposure and brutally hard
work-was not as bad as the initial
experience.
For the rest, it was a slow but sure
process of degeneration of body,
mind and soul.
One thing which has surprised the
Americans in occupied Germany is
the tendency of the German people
to deny that they knew the extent of
the atrocities which were perpe-
trated in the camps or to appear to
ignore their existence.
This is result of a planned eff
feet of the camp.

Dread Fear Hung
OUer Everyone

According to statements concern
ing conditions in Germany as early
as 1890, most of the Germans who
had committed actual offenses
against the Nazi regime, had al
ready been imprisoned, murdered
or had died in the camps. Then the
Nazis found it necessary to 20 out
and arrest members of various
groups Unfortunately, say a few
lawyers, few doctors, few from
one organization or another. This
was done as threat against that
whole particular group.
The effect on group was some
what the same, though in a lesser
degree, as the effect on a family.
The effect on the families of the
prisoners, of course, was marked.
At first great deal of money was
spent in attempting to get the pris-
oner released. The gestapo always
replied that it was the prisoners
own fault that he was imprisoned.
Then members of the family begin
to find it hard to get jobs, children
had trouble at school; poor relief
was denied. Always the terror hung
over them. The friends and relatives
of a prisoner were considered sus-
poets. So the influence of the camp
reached out over the whole group.
AS the Nazi regime became more
harsh and especially latterly, when
world resentment increased against
it even before the war, many more
Germans, passive before, became
openly dissatisfied and critical. It
was impossible to imprison them all
without interfering with the func-
tioning of the country's economy.
Then group" arrests increased.
People in lots of hundred or so
from one profession, or trade, or af-
filiated body, would be jailed. Thus
the effect of the terror" was multi
piled. This was the manner in which
the entire population of the country
was unclaimed.
General Mcclure recognizes how
crushing has been the effect of
"planned terror" but doubt if the
general public has any realization
of it's magnitude. "We shall often
have to 60 far out of our way" says
the general, ito help certain in
dividuals who have not had an easy
life these last IL years and more,
men whose broken spirits may well
need our support and guidance to
return to the ways of active per-
sonal democratic initiative"
1t took centuries to develop human
dignity, but it took only a few
months in Nazi concentration
camp to destroy it.
