Bishop SAID tTere nave Deen some
assertions, considerable Sinking on
the forestry work, and a large lack
of comprehension on the part Of the
enlisted youths of how to work and
how TO live in a self contained unit.
A special difficulty arises from
carelessness about sanitary arrange
ments in the mountain-side camp
which must be supplied with water
from a spring.
Don't Like to Work
Another trouble arises from the
propensity of some Of the men to
drink low-grade mountain liquor
and conduct themselves badly
among the natives Of the Blue
Ridge region.
1.-THE basic trouble is divided di-
rection and lack Of any discipline, ="
Bishop said. THE men know that
nothing can be done to them. be-
yond deducting a days pay, if they
won't work.
Army men have charge Of the
camp, and forestry service officials
direct the work outside of camp.
There is a great need of central
head to prevent conflicts in orders.
The men themselves largely are
to blame. Many of them, in re-
porting their early training, said
they had never held job for more
than a week. Some Of them never
have learned how to work with their
hands, and some have lived of
various charitable organizations
since they left school.
