NY GERTRUDE GARRAwAY

NEW BERN, Aug. IL An
nouncement Of the War depart
ment's decision to close Camp Da-
Wis by October l, with gradual
transfer OF soldiers and Wacs from
there beginning at once, calls at
tention to the fact that North Car
DINA history as well as American
military history have been made
there during the past three mo-
mentous years.
Camp Davis was the first i'm
portant installation to be started
along the Carolina coast during the
current international crisis. When
construction work was begun there
in December, 1910, employment
was furnished for thousands Of un-
employed persons through the
area, bringing the first real relief
for many families following the in.
dustrial depression and North Car.
olina's first touch Of modern war
prosperity.
As many as $4,000 were on the
payrolls at various times during
the winter months to hasten com.
pletion of the anti-aircraft firieg
center. The nearby village Of Hol-
ly Ridge, the first war boom town
of World War II in North Carolina,
grew from an unincorporated vii
lage OF % residents to thriving
incorporated town Of several thou
sand citizens, with paved streets
and sidewalks and other conrnu-
nifty improvements.
Millions Spent
Camp Davis likewise became a
miraculous boom camp. More than
1000 frame buildings sprang up
like mushrooms within few
months. Within a year about $20,-
600, 600 had been spent on the post,
planned for five-year use by the
War department. Since then much
more money has been expended
on its extensions and additions.
At first populated by selectees
who expected to be back at their
civilian jobs within a year, Camp
Davis, since receiving its first SOL
diers during early April of 1941,
has sent thousands Of men to far
flung battlefronts during Worl d
War IL.
Planned originally as a training
