IN AMERICAN AND ENGLISH CAMPS
1. [underlined]Camp News[/underlined]
All work in the camp is organised and carried out by the POW's
themselves. The camp newspaper is written and edited by them and printed
in their own workshops.
2. [underlined]At Work[/underlined]
The workshops serve equally to provide the POW's own needs as well as to
provide vocational training for the POW·s.
3. [underlined]Daily Rations[/underlined]
Evet-y house (hut) in the camp sends 2 "-food ,'etchers" to the main store.

The POWs' chosen representatives discuss current news with a
representative of the command.
5. [underlined]Daily Papers[/underlined]
The prisoners have the right to order newspapers of their choice. They
have the radio, a library, cinema performances as well as their own
theatre group and camp orchestra.
6. [underlined]Bakery[/underlined]
A German major here inspects the ranks' kitchen. The paws cook for
themselves.

practical trade proficiency exams, and for the role of civil servant.
Others are educated in agriculture.
