Later a headquarters spokesman said other United States forces had thrust out northwest of Barneville and aii of St. Lo-d’Ourville in the coastal area on the west side {of the peninsula to broaden the [base of their wedge beyond its pre|vious seven miles. The townspeople of Barneville jubilantly feted American troops today while indications multiplied that the Germans were to write off the northern tip of tia peninsula as a loss, except for a defense of the port of Cherbourg itself, Henry T.

United States. The workers, all with farm experience and physically approved, are transported to New York or Miami, Fla, and then sent to the contractors, When they arrive at the farms, they are put up in nearby houses or warehouses which health authorities- have approved. Their wages are set by the county fabor board, and the contractor is permitted to deduct as much as $1.40 per day per worker for food and housing. A deduction of $1 per day js returned to each man’s native country as a savings for him. Each group selects its own cook and camp leader, the latter acting as a go-between for the laborer and the contractor, So far the health authorities have heard only a few complaints on their work. “They're not zoot suiters—they're polite farm boys and hard workers,” one official explained. They range in age from 20 to 32. They eat a lot of starchy foods, such as rice, cornflakes, salt pork. Many bring musical instruments with them and spend their time playing and singing after the day's work is done.
