IFS LOCAL BOYS
GET CCC BERTHS
Record Number for First
Two Weeks City's
Quota AZ Short

During the two weeks which
have elapsed since the opening
date of the June CCC enlistment
period, the Waterbury selecting
agency has placed approximately
125 men, it was announced at
headquarters in the Lincoln house
today. The Waterbury quota is 16!.
The situation during the present
term is unprecedented in the his
tory of CCC enlistments in Water
bury. During previous periods tho
quota was filled within a few days
fol- ,wing its announcement.
A substantial increase in the
number of men allotted to this
city, together with the stipulation
tat all of the enrollees be taken
from relief rolls, has made the task
of filling the quota for the Juno
term extremely difficult. Investi-
cations have been conducted for
eligible men over a period of sew
eral weeks by Mutual Aid case
workers and the list of relief cases
has been practically exhausted.
Wnethe- the quota will be filled
from the dwindling number of
eligibles on relief is as vet un-
certain. Many of the men in the
relief category have applied for
admission during previous terms
and have been rejected because of
physical disabilities.
