CCC CAMPS SINCE 1888

MISSOULA.-Nearly six and one
half million man-days of labor have
been expended on the national for
ests of the northern Rocky Noun
tain region by CCC boys since the
beginning of the CCC organization
in 1888, according to report just
issued by the forest service
Much needed improvement work
and maintenance on old improve
ments has been accomplished. Some
OF the outstanding contributions of
the organization, according to the
report, are. Over $500 miles of for
est roads; 44,184 signs. markers, and
monuments placed along roads and
trails; 27,319 acres Of denuded forest
land planted to young trees or seed
ed; 479,52l acres Of white pine lands
made safe from blister rust; SO look
out houses constructed; and enough
telephone line strung to reach half
way around the world. In addition,
over 500 thousand man-days of work
were expended in maintenance Of
improvements and 371 SAT aman-days
in fighting forest fires = =" = ' =
About 10000 boys have been en-
listed in the CCC camps of the
northern Rocky Mountain region
since April, 1888, states Regional
Forester Evan w. Kelley. Not
only have these boys contributed
much to the improvement of the ma
tional forests, but the enrollees
themselves have received much val
liable training. Working with heavy
mechanical equipment such as bull
dozers, tractors, and trucks has
equipped these boys with a valu-
able asset in finding jobs or the
outside after the close of their en-
istment period This training has
become especially important to the
boys in finding place in our ma
tional defense organization.
