COUNTY YOUTHS AT CCC MOUNTAIN CAMP REPORT FAVORABLY Franklin, Chatham anti Hali fax Counties Represented In Pisgah Forrest Camp COMPANY 428 The Herald is this week in re ceipt of news and pictures from Camp N. C. F-14, Company 428, C.C.C. at Pisgah Forest, in the mountains near Brevard, in which is stationed many boys from Hali fax County. Members of Company 428 start ed conditioning at Fort Bragg on June 2nd and 3rd, and it is report ed that all passed the examina tions successfully, without a sin gle one being turned down. Many of these fellows, it seems, had had some experience in camp life thru previous National Guard training, which proved very helpful. Members of the company, in comment of their treatment at Fort Bragg very highly praised the supervision of Colonel Moss and his aides, and spoke highly of the nightly entertainment provid ed there. With the last week one of sus pense, with all sorts of rumors go ing the rounds as to the probable destination of the outfit, it seem ed positive the mountains had been selected when the men were is sued suitable clothing. Pulling out of Fort Bragg behind a little “dinky” quarter-master engine, the “troop-train” was carried over the Norfolk-Southern rails to Greensboro, from where they hook ed on to one of the Southern’s “crack” passenger trains for the rest of the journey. Reaching Asheville at about 5:30 the following morning, many of the fellows in this company were treated to beautiful mountain scen ery, which although in their native North Carolina, they had never seen before. At the town of Pisgah Forest, where camp officials were faced with the task of transferring 192 boys, and 2 cars of baggage to camp, most of the youths had a chance to look the town over, which was all very new to them. A very large lumber mill is located at this town, and mill officials graciously placed hot showers at the disposal of the boys. The camp is situated on an is { Will Rogers" Picks I ! A Story For j This Spot | By WILL ROGERS CHOW people are always telling ^ yarns about their kind, and so nacherly I hear quite a lot of them. This here one is about a circus actor, and of course they are the most romantic of all troupers. The circus strong man rode out on horseback to challenge a farmer whose great strength had gained him a reputation. He entered tha farmyard, tied up his horse and approached the farmer. “Hey,” he said. “I’ve heard a lot about you, and have come a long way to see which is the better man.” ' Without answering the farmezj seized the intruder, _ hurled hinj bodily over the fence into the road and returned to his work. When the loser had recovered hiS breath the farmer growled. “Havel vou anything more to say to me?] ' “No,” was the reply, “but perhaps you’ll be good enough to throw mi my horse.” J land about one-quarter mile long, and "only "one-half as wide, about six miles from the town of Bre vard. The campsite is said to be one of the prettiest of any VCC or CCC camp in America. Truman C. Thorson was captain from the time of enrolment at Fort Bragg until an unfortunate accident on June 25th when he fell from a 35-foot drop and fractur ed several ribs and injured his jaw. He was sent to the Veter an’s Hospital at Oteen for treat ment. A camp canteen was soon open ed, and credit liberally extended to the boys, whose first pay day did not come until the last of June. Here, boys, many of whom had been out of work from six-months to two-years, once again had the experience of having- money in their pockets they had earned by good, honest, healthy, outdoor work. With construction of a mess hall and other buildings necessary to the operation of a six-months camp quickly finished, the boys set "about to find a swimming place. Constructing a temporary dam, the north branch of the French Broad river is said to be ideal for this purpose. Other recreational activities in clude baseball, volleyball, and the old, but ever-new game of “horse shoes.” The CCC team played the town team from Brevard recently and scored a 12 to 2 win over their opponents. The camp mas cot has been named “New Deal” and is an English Pit bull-dog. The company clerk, in further comment written from the camp says: “We have mountain climate, running water, floored tent homes, only eight-hours work per day, and the best uncle anyone could have, Uncle Sam. We appre ciate more than we can express with mere words, this opportunity that has been opened to us thru our beloved President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his co-workers.” A burglar broke into the home of Deputy Sheriff Will Duval of the house and stealing the officer’s clothing, badge, and jail keys.
