80 - 4 The arrival of Polish families of farm workers could not and cannot be avoided in the very bright situation. The agricultural leaders are prepared, as a result of the unusual people's need, to tend to Farilien even if only individual members of the family are able to work. Many of the transferred Polish pamilies are, however, a heavy burden for the farms, because in many cases only one member can be employed in larger pamilia, but all other persons are children or are too old or seriously ill for work. Not to burden small farms too much, must therefore be made to suffer various hardships, the families in larger farms have been brought to bear, and from there single forces have been removed, in order to set them up with the small farmers. It is to be noted that many of the Polish families taken in are malnourished and almost only arrived here in rags goklei- det.
