VERNONIA LAUNDRY And Dry Cleaning Phone 711 Improvement Is Shown in CCC Camp at Reehers Several Project« Are in Course of Completion Grounds and facilities in gen eral at the Reeher’s camp, CCC, are continuing to show definite day by day improvements. A faint green of rye grass sown early in the week is at— tempting to make itself manifest, recent light rains helping in the planting. Landscaping of the area of ground bounded by barracks, hospital, headquarters and other buildings of the camp is planned to be completed with planting of young evergreens and probably shrubbery. Planing, oiling, painting and other work necessary for the in stallation of a 72foot flagpole has comprised the- activities of an other improvement project. Facilities for water supply are improved with the installation of a 1horsepower pump, hav ing a capacity of 600 gallons an hour. The installation is located near the banks of the Nehalem river, immediately below camp and draws water from a recently completed well. Distribution of water to the camp proper is by gravity flow from a more than 2000-gallon capacity water tank. Construction of side tables to be used for reading or writing has just been completed in the recreation hall. Painting and oth er completion work incident to camp carpentry projects are near ly finished. FOUNDATION WORK IS STARTED FOR 3 NEW BUILDINGS Foundation work for three new forestry buildings was started by Civilian Conservation corps en rollees at the Reeher’s camp this week. The work projects include a combination building housing a tool shed and filing shed, another building to be used for a forest ry office and the third as an oil house.
