Two other taverns, in Wal

Enterprise City Attorney Rob
ert Christman said the slots had
been operated through an agree
ment between the city, veterans'
organizations and the tavern
owners.
Veterans' groups assertedly
received 45 percent of the
"take," the city 35 percent and
the taverns 20.

Revival of the Old CCC
Proposed by Utah Woman
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL
Washington, March 8 ff) Revival of the civilian conservation
corps, recently proposed to congress, would be welcomed in many
parts of the west, says Rep. Bosne (D., Utah).
The original program, established in 1933 to train and occupy
the nation's jobless youth, was abandoned in 1942 when the de
mand for labor in defense in-
dustries drained off this pool of
unemployed.
In the nine years, more than
3,000,000 boys had planted 2,
358,000,00 trees, built 126,000
miles of trails, truck trails and
minor roads, set and strung 89,
000 miles of telephone lines,
built thousands of erosion con
trol check dams, spent more
than 6,000,000 man-days at for
est fire fighting and engaged
in tree and plant disease and
pest control over 21,000,00 acres.
A very large part of this was
in the forests, ranges and parks
of the west, where boys from
the sprawling industrial centers
of the east learned about the
wide open spaces and where
many of them settled down to
live and work. ,
The problems of conservation
of human and natural resources
have arisen again, says Mrs.
Bosone,' author of one of the
new CCC bills.
She said; '
"First; there werfe 1,000,000
boys between the ages of 16 and
24 who were looking for jobs
last month. Unemployment at
the present times is greatest in
this age group.
"Second there are some 4
000,000 acres of national forests
which need reforestation. There
are 2,000,000 acres of trees suf
fering from blister rust. One
hundred thousand miles of roads
and trails need to be built into
th mountains and wooded
areas. For fire protection, 1,400
lookout towers are needed."
As the boys worked, they
learned such thinks as equip
ment operation and mainten
ance, rudimentary engineering,
In connection with bridge build
ing and road construction tim
ber estimating rough carpentry
and the like.
In the western states alone,
221,500,000 trees were planted,
22,500 miles of roads and trails
and many bridges built many
hundreds of thousands of acres
of timber treated for protection
against plant disease and pests,
numerous observation towers
other fire protection structures
built.
'Telephone lines were built in
all the western states except
Montana, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Utah and Wyoming.
Construction of erosion con
trol dams was a major project
in Idaho, Montana, South Da
kota and Utah. .
In Colorado, 84,000 acres of
range were improved, in Utah,
214,000 acres.
Millions of game fish were
planted in the lakes and streams
of Wyoming, South Dakota and
Montana. In North Dakota 602
wild life shelters were provided.
And in Wyoming, the CCC
crews spent 147,588 man-days
fighting coal fires.
.
"I have long since been con
vinced" said Mrs. Bosone a for
mer Salt . Lake city municipal
judge "that the thousands of
boys who know nothing but the
pavenemts of congested areas
should have an opportunity to
breathe the fresh air that comes
from working out of doors. .
"I very definitely think that
the influence of such a program
has an important effect on the
future lives of these boys. It
is a program of conservation all
the way around."
