L. Dutton of the Whitman na- itlonal forest, coupled with plans of i the army for breaking up the O. O. . C. camps, Indicate that very soon the forest service will switch from emerg- j ency conservation work ito projects to be handled under the publlo works program. j The forest service has been ready . with plans for sevorol weeks to In-, mate projects under the public works 1 program, but delay In release of funds j has prevented It from starting the work until this week, but the forest. service Is bending every effort to take advantage of the few remaining weeks this field season to give as much work as possible to men In all communities adjacent to the Whlt rwm forest, Mr. Dutton said. Approximately 100 men are now iworklng in small crews In scattered localities on drift fences, water de velopment projects, small 'buildings and pack trails. 8 Forest Road Projects Up As soon as the O.
