In addition to this publication I

I trust that you will enjoy these

enlighten you as to some of the
aims set forth in ou work; and, as
to the activities carried on.
| You will recall, I am sure, that
this section of North Carolina is
known for its hunting, fishing, and
such sports. I assure you that I
should enjoy having you or any of
your friends come down for a week
end fishing trip.
We could easily accommodate
you at the CCC camp, where you
could observe actual camp life.
Sincerely yours,
J. C. Shearin.
Mr. Shearin, a local boy, is Proj
