CCC CELEBRATION AT
LAUREL SPRINGS CAMP
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Camp Meadow Fork, as it is
now known, was first occupied
in June, 1888, by a cadre of mer
from Dobson. Between June and
December the construction of the
company was completed, and on
September 20, 1888, Camp NC
SCS-21 was changed to Camp NC
NP-21. Located on the Parkway
it is the only camp, the duties OF
which are almost wholly confined
to the Parkway area, in North
Carolina.
The principal project of the
camp is landscaping and develop
ment along a designated portion
of the Parkway. The work is to
great extent confined to grad
ing, planting and seeding, or sod
ding cuts and fills along the see
mic motorway which is being
built expressively for tourists.
Another important job is the de-
velopment of bays and vistas by
selective cutting and planting.
Not all the Parkway is being
planted in trees and shrubbs.
There are many miles of open
area that the camp will reseed,
lime or fertilize for pasture. The
camp has, since it's establishment
less than two years ago, worked
on approximately Is miles of the
Parkway, extending from high
way 81 to highway 16. Much of
the work except grading is sea-
sonal.
Boys Get Good Training
There are also many other jobs
which the camp does. Some of
them are the construction of per-
manent maintenance buildings
for the Parkway, the building of
Parkway signs, and the assistance
in surveying and the construction
of a 100000 gallon dam.
The company strength is now
approaching 200, the maximum
number of enrollees permitted a
single camp. Around 500 boys
have been trained here since
1888. Not only do they work on
the Parkway, but they are given
classroom instruction, have ac-
cess to a library and reading
room, and are trained in a COM
pletely equipped machine shop.
For recreation there is a tennis
court, a volley ball court and bill
lard tables. An archery range is
being planned. The organization
prepares the enrollee to meet
life's problems by teaching him
the proper method of dealing
with life's situations. Each en-
rollee receives $50 a month, plus
room and board.
