What Are the CCC Boys Doing?
YESTERDAY we told something about whHt the camps have
done for the C. C. C boys. Today we shall give an idea
of what the boys do in the C. C C camps.
While we visited only two of
typical of them all. While the camps are conducted by offi
cers of the U. S. army and navy, and these officers determine
their administration, the work is done in the national forests
under the direction of the U. S. forest service. Karl h. Janouch,
assistant supervisor of the Crater Lake national forests, has
active charge of the camp programs in the Medford area, and
provided the car, gasoline, AND ALSO THE LUNCH, on
thii trip of inspection.
PERHAPS you have noticed the absence of forest fires this
year. It has been hot and dry, yet to date, there have
been practically no fires reported. Under .lormul conditions
July and August are the forest fire mouths.
There is a reason !
With 1200 C. C. C. boys in
debris, and other fire hazards, the risk of fire has been mater
ially reduced. i
Of course the forest fire season is not over by any means.
lHany weeks of hot weather have dried out the forests, and
also increased the tourist travel to the woods and Crater Lake,
and therefore the fire hazard. There may be forest fires, in
fact in all probability there will be. One good thunder storm
would probably start sevoral. But when they do start, WATCH
THEM CO OUT I
FOR these C. C. C. camps arc, abovo everything else, fire
fighting camps. One mighj; term them volunteer fire de
partments in the forests. Each camp has a fire house. In the
firo house, complete fire fighting equipment is stored, and as
result of fire instruction and
go at the first alarm. There are kits ready for a two-man fire,
there are kits ready for a 25 man fire, and any units of 25 to
as far as you wish to count. There are water pumps and hose,
ready for immediate use. Old
get tho surprise of his lifo when ho does decide to start some
thing. Ho will get a smash on the schnozle, about half a min
ute after the gong sounds I '
UP TO July 1st, practically
camp work, clearing the
installing the necessary sanitation systems, etc., etc, For only
about six or seven weeks have the men and boys been working
in the woods. '
What have they done, and what are they doing?.
Well, on this trip, from the Elk Creek camp, up the Buz
zard mine road, and aoross. the mountains to Union Creek, via
Woodruff Meadows, we saw some of the work first hand.
A few miles beyond the Elk
squad of C. C. C boys wore building a bridge over the creek
to connect with a new forest service road to Huckleberry Lake.
One boy was running an air compressor, on the bank of the
creek, others under the direction of a bridge foreman, were
putting huge bridge piles in
no one had a shirt on. This trip was mado when the mercury
hit 108 in Medford, and it wasn't very much cooler, in the
woods, several thousand feet up.
When this road and brid'go

but it will be good for the hunters 1
'WITHER on, nlong the narrow but passable mountain road,
. . . , .
we noticed with . bad curvature
so many ants. They were constructing a phone line througn
the forest.-very URcful to the forest service, particularly in
fighting fires.
Finally at Union Creek tho
nails into a new ranger station
nearly completed now, and no
forest king. , .
N addition to such useful work the C. C. C. boys are con
structing truck trails, horse trails; clearing huge areas of
forest, to reduce fire hazards;
forest camp grounds, and finding, improving and making avail
able water sources.
The latter are very important. For they provide water for
stock permitted to graze in the
age more accessible. Springs are found, opened up and water
diverted into troughs built out of huge logs.
. Incidently we saw several bands of cattle, roaming through
the woods, which belong to our new county judge, Earl Day
of Sams Valley. They were fine looking stock, fat as butter,
but their manners were terrible 1 Instead of getting out of
the road, (as their boss would), they stayed in it, shuffle
footed along in the dust about 20 feet in front of the car, and
tha mora we Have them the horn the harder they shuffled. Had

might have happened. As it was each member of the party ,
brought at least eight tons of dust to Medford, inside and out,
and if you don't believe it, ask the family bath tub I
e o e e
NO one knows how long these C. C. C. camps are to remain,
but the local forest service has prepared a program for
two years. According to ono of the C. O. C. boys at Union
Creek, word has already gone nut to prepare winter quarters.
This mav or mav not be official. But there is little doubt the
work will continue here this year until December, and unless
a miraole happens and the N. II. A. should trnnsform the sur
plus of labor to a shortage, at least a two-year schedule will be
carried out. Perhaps snow shoveling will be on the agenda
during the winter, and we can travel to Crater Lake and enjoy
winter srorts at any time.
THIS much is certain. Thanks to the C..C. C. camps, the
national forest area around Medford is going to be put in
a shape, that a year ago, the most ardent forestry enthusiast
would not have believed possible. Work ia being done 1,11(1

My Dear Mra. - :
For hla own aake as well aa
yours and the children's, you
should take the sternest meas
ures. At first offense leave him,
with the ohlldren, until he comes
to hla senses. Or if he abuse
you or the children, have him
arrested and punished. Unless
you take a firm stand now your
home la in danger. Don't let
booze rob your children and your
self of your happiness. Better
a lHtle unpleasant publicity tf
necessary, than the miserable lot
of the drunkard'a family. This
la the time for you to be brave
and preserve for the children the
chance of which their faithless
father la robbing them.
If I knew of any medicine or
other treatment that would help,
I'd be happy to recommend it.
I believe you hold In your own
hands the only remedy. Use It
and your children will bless you.

I expect thla will bring the usual
hall of vituperation from our friend

sarcasm from monitors filled with
