ant memories of their 12 months' ser
vice which Includes their monthly
salaries, nourishing food warm cloth
ing and the many forma of entertain
ment secured for their benefit.
Most of the personnel has seen the
camp grow from a tented village
where the food was served In the

drying rooms, a recreation hall at
tractively decorated with pictures
from various phases of the camp con
struction program; a mess hall scru

parade ground claimed to bo the class
of the district.
Never Lack Entertainment.
' It has been the pleasure of the
1746th company to never lack some
form of entertainment during the
long evenings after work since the
camp's inauguration. When' volun
teers who could either sing, play some
musical Instrument or give readings
were Invited to help present the
recreational programs the response
was surprising. In fact the reputa
tion of the entertainers has been so
widespread that the members have
been the recipients of many invita
tions for presentations over KMTED.
the American Legion programs and
various civic and church programs.
Not only have the musical programs
furnished entertainment, but during
the summer months a baseball team
was organized in the camp and games
were scheduled each Sunday and
oftentimes two games were played
over the week-end. As many of the
men did not find it convenient to
travel home over the week-end, the
baseball games were an Inviting
answer to their problems of how to
pass their spare time. -'
Athletics Enjoyed.
Boxing and wrestling were other
sports that found ready response from
the younger members of the camp. A
standard boxing ring was erected In
the camp and every night two danc
ing, sunburned figures could be seen
trading lusty wallops with each other.
Matches were often arranged with
other neighboring CCC camps and
a number of the local enrollees Jour
neyed to Medford for the American
Legion amatur6 tournament, one of
whom brought home the Ught-heavy-weight
championship.
