Great Work Done for Sport Fishermen
By CCC in Jefferson National Forest

The CCC constructed the Cave
Mountain Lake, Green Pastures and
High Knob recreational areas to
provide picnicking, play and camp
ing sites for the thousands who each
year find their outdoor fun there.
Dams have been built TO impound
waters for swimming. Additional
camp facilities have been con-
structed at Corners Rock, Big Bend,
Snow Creek, Middle Creek and
Midway.
True, some dyed = in the wool
stream anglers deplore the building
Of roads and other improvements
along the banks Of their favorite
trouting waters. but where few
were enjoying this area a few years
back thousands now do and are
learning for the first time the fun
of flyfishing, hunting and camping
in the open.
Those intrusted with the building
of our national forests realize the
real value of the work accomplished
during the past nine years by the
CCC. Perhaps after the war another
Federal agency may take up this
important work.
Evening star., 1942-07-05

The Civilian Conservation Corps
played a major role in improving
our forests and building recreational
areas from one end of the country
to the other. 1t appeared last week
that the single vote Of Vice President
Wallace might make possible It's
continuance, but the appropriation
allowed was but $4,000, ,000-enough
. TO gather up the loose ends and close
1t out.
The CCC accomplished much in
the jefferson National Forest IN
Virginia. In addition to thousands
of man-days of labor in fighting
forest fires over an area exceeding
a million acres, Forest Supervisor
Allan R. Cochran points with pride
to the construction of ISL miles of
truck trails, 81 bridges, 562 miles Of
telephone line, l73 miles Of foot
trails and firebreaks and Is fire
lookout towers.
Fishing and hunting was i'm
proved by scientifically stocking
streams, creating pools, establishing
dams and rebuilding depleted food
resources.

The 4-year-old gelding, claimed
three days ago by Clyde Trout, a

supposedly superior thoroughbreds

Marriage, with Equifox, another of
the choices, third. Welcome Pass,

1941 Victor Among Scratches.
The heavy condition OF the track
resulted in four scratches including
Steel Heels, winner of the event a
year ago.
Trout, the David Harum of the
turf, picked up a check for $500
as a result of Take Wings smashing
triumph, with $4,000 going to the
firm of Coward and Du Puy, owners
of Marriage. The sum of $1,000
went to Howard Wells, Lexington,
KY, owner of Equifox.
Take Wing, ridden by the swarthy
little Freddie Smith, ran the 3/16
miles in 1895, just a fifth OF a
second off the track mark held by
Holl Image. Take Wing carried the
lightest impost-103 pounds.
Take Wing returned $26.4o, $40
and $3.50.
Equifox, Marriage and Best Seller
were the 1928 choices in the race
in that order. Of the three, Mar
riage was the only one that really
put up a battle. Equifox made
mild bid in the stretch and then
tired. Best Seller was outrun
throughout.
