CCC Enrolment Period
for Superior Camps Open
Opportunity to Learn Skilled
Trade Offered Young Men
Out of Jobs.

The regular summer enrolment per-
iod for recruiting men into the Civilian
Conservation Corps has recently been
announced. This period will be open
from July to 20, and is handled
through the local county welfare Office
in the Community Center.
Young men who are in need of a
job and cannot find employment
should consider the opportunities Of
fered by the CCC. Past work expert
ence in some qualified form is usually
considered essential by employers
when hiring men. This factor is
particularly important to young men
who have not had much experience
to their credit. Aside from the type
of acceptable work experience found in
the CCC, many special skills can also
be gained.
In an effort to learn what specific
activities are carried on in Minnesota
camps, local officials of the Superior
National Forest were contacted.
"We currently engage in large con-
struction and reforestation programs,
states Supervisor Clare Hendee of the
Superior National Forest.
GAS in all camps, the opportunities
are varied to suit the interests and
aptitudes of as many as practicable
The enrolleeS are used in all cases
for the operation of machinery and
are taught the repair and maintenance
of this equipment" he added.
All told, the seven CCC camps on
the Superior National Forest have As
large tractors; each requires an en-
rollee operator. besides the alternative
drivers and additional men who are
trained to handle these units. Along
with these, heavy hydraulic power
graders and scrapers, freshness, power
shovels, rock crushers, air compress
sors, and dragline units are used.
Five special fleets of dump trucks are
in continuous operation, in addition
to the regular setup of transportation
and freighting trucks. Many other
types of machinery and equipment are
used in each camp. So, with the work
experience gained while using it on
the jobs. these same units serve in
carrying additional special training
courses. The instruction courses also
60 into the more technical fundamen-
tails through shop and classroom work.

Hitler's invasion of Russia has pro-
vided Americas isolationists with a
sizeable red herring to drag across the
issue of our foreign policy and our all
out opposition to Nazi aggression.
Because Hitler is now fighting the
Communists, the argument is made
that we should sit back and permit
the two relationships to destroy each
other One isolationist leader even
went so far as to say publicly that he
would rather see this nation allied
with NaA Germany than with Com
munist Russia.
That sort of statement springs either
from a complete lack of reasoning
power or from a hitherto suspected
but never publicly announced admira-
ton for the Naz system.
The facts are that insofar as their
complete suppression of individual
rights, their denial of freedom and
their brutal and terroristic persecu-
ton of all who disagree with their
policies are concerned, there is moth
ing to choose between the Nazi brand
of dictatorship and the Communist
brand. They are equally abhorent to
any real American.
But there is a vital difference.
There is not a military or naval eX-
pert in the United States who con-
siders the Russian army and navy any
serious threat to the security Of
America. And there are few military
or naval experts who do not consider
the Nal war machine most serious
threat to the security, not only OF
this nation, but of every free and
democratic nation in the world.
In additiin to his Nazi new order
that violates every principle that
liberty Loving people hold dear, Hitler
has built a military machine which
has conquered nearly all of Europe
and threatens the entire world. And
if he does destroy the Red army,
leaving his eastern boundary secure,
and at the same time wins the huge
oil and food resources of Russia, then
he is in a position to strike with full
force, first at England, and then at
any other nation which bars his path
to world domination.
It is time for all freedom loving
people to awaken, to keep their at
tention on the realities of the world,
and to quit debating and wavering
and turn to decision and action.
Recently Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox declared that we should use
the American Navy to sweep the At
lantic ocean free of Nazi submarines
and raiders. I believe that Knox
knows the picture and has weighed
the consequences, and for one, sup
port his position Fundamentally.
We can see all too plainly what has
happened to the nations which have
delayed and temporized, the nations
which have believed they could deal
with Hitler, make terms with him.
One by one they have acceded to ever
increasing NaA demands until now they
are ruled from Berlin entirely.
Let it never be said that America
awakened too late to this threat to
her liberty.

The papers on the west coast have
been bombarded with questions and
comments on the recent airplane fac
tory strike settled when the Federal
troops marched in and furnished pro-
lection to the labor that desired to
work. One of the questions asked is
"what would you say about Hitler if
you received word that he had COM
manded the German army to go out
with bayonets and guns and force
working men against their legal or
ganized superiors, to make airplanes
and guns for a foreign nation?"
The Portland Oregonian answered
the question with a few facts on
German acts. It said "on May 2, 1888
all offices of all unions in Germany
were seized by storm troopers, their
leaders and officers were arrested
maltreated or sent to concentration
camps; their property was confiscated
The organizations of German labor
were destroyed in one day. In 1885 a
German act established a work card
system which required every German
1aborer to carry with him a complete
record of his previous employment,
enables the government to shift
workers in accordance with govern
ment plans. A black mark in the
work books amounts to a death SEN
tence." No man was forced to work
when troops were used to open the
airplane factory in California. What
the troops did was to protect American
citizens (nnion or non-l1nion) in their

Farmers are confronted by the
most acute labor problem since 1920
says Fred H. Sexauer, president OF
the Dairymen's League. He further
states: Food may not win war
but neither will guns, tanks, and
planes, unless there is food for the
armed forces and the civilian popu-
lation. Farmers will provide the food
if government will recognize their
problems as it has those of labor and
industry. Agriculture is literally being
pushed around in the nations

We should give Russia the defense
