between II and 30 years of age,
and the enrolment period expires
October 31st.
Young men who enroll in the
CCC camp in Pine Valley will
work in the Laguna recreational
area, amid exceptionally healthful
and pleasant surroundings, Hugo
said.
Ell Centre and Imperial residents
are interested in bringing the CCC
camp in Pine Valley up to normal
enrolment because this camp sup
plies the labor for improvements
made in the mountain areas of
San Diego county where Imperial
Valley folk spend their summers.
Unless the camp in Pine Valley
is recruited up to its full strength
with a total of about 100 men,
there is danger of the camp being
discontinued, the men being moved
elsewhere and the work in the
Lagunas and surrounding noun
tains be stopped. This camp is
supplied exclusively by Imperial
Valley enrollees.
Men enlisting in the CCC serv-
ice must be from families on pub
lie relief: WPA, SRA, county well
fare or rural resettlement, and
must be in good physical condi-
tion. No man who has served an
enrolment in the CCC in the
last year is eligible for reenroll-
ment, nor is any enrollee who did
| not serve a full four months en-
rollment now eligible.
From wages received, enrollees
must allot between $22.50 and $25
to some dependent. By special
authorization, certain classes of
enrollees such as junior cooks and
mechanics may be exempted from
some of the restrictions, it is
stated. There is also a provision
that veterans, regardless of age,
may enlist in CCC camps.
