Both the National Park and Forest
Services have field men at work spot
ting likely camp sites which are avail
able to roads and trails to water and
supplies, and at the same time within
easy walking distance of the proposed
work.
The Interior Department also pro-
poses to establish camps in some in
stances on Indian lands and the public
domain. It will seek to have unem-
ployed Indians chosen for work on In
dian lands. These projects will include
erosion work on the Gila River in Ari-
zona. A timber region in the public
domain situated in Oregon may be the
site of another camp.
The Labor Department indicated the
class of workers being selscted-unem-
ployed, unmarried men between 18 and
to $25 Of their $50 monthly pay to de-
pendents-are showing great eagerness
to enroll.

quired for Army enlistments. When

tioning camps.
