Invasion" Money
Puzzles The Public

Intrigued by the story of Gin
vasion" money appearing in Fred
erick City, a member of the SEN
tinel staff learned that it was also
appearing in Rockville, Gathers
burg and other towns in Mont
gomery County.
Most of the invasion" money
coming through the banks has gold
seals. Bankers say that these
notes were printed especially for
use in the African invasion and
during the American occupation of
North Africa, more to identify it,
and of course, help in blocking
counterfeiting by the enemy.
Black seals on notes have come
thru from Hawaii and the Philip
pines, and brown and purple seals
have come from other invaded
territory.
Some of this money is turning
up in stores, because the individual
banks are not withdrawing it from
circulation. However, any that
turns up in the Federal Reserve
Banks, is being withdrawn.
1t might be interesting to watch
your folding money" carefully in
the future, and see just where il
has Travelled.

their children to respect authority,
to respect age, and to teach them
how to get along with others, as

lance of the discussion of current
events in the home and school and
the Importance of a knowledge of
other languages, pointing out the
advantages of revamping of

At a meeting Of the Board of
Directors of the Farm Bureau

w. Anderson reported on the work
of the prisoners of war during the
past season, and showed what a
benefit their labor was to the farm
ers of the county.
He reports that the 178 prisoners
who lived at the camp near Gath
ersburg worked total of 216,404
man hours during 1,709 different
placements on 487 farms. During
the very busy season, these prison
ers were supplemented by 80 more
who came from Fl. Meade each day.
A total of approximately 100000
was collected for their services. Of
this amount, forty cents an hour
went to the government, and two
cents an hour were allotted to camp
expenses. The Agent reported that
only $4,000 is still owed for serv-
ices of German POW's.
The total amount realized from
the sale of equipment of the pris-
oner's camp near Gaithersburg
