May Have Job Quota Of Cou A call has come to the office of C. C. Russ, superintendent of pilblic welfare, to furnish several white boys for enlistment during the month of April in camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps. A few months ago, news of these vacancies would have caused a rush of applicants to the office of Mr. Russ. Now he is forced with the likelihood that he will not be able to fill the county's quota. It isn't that CCC requirements are so rigid. On the contrary they have been'made far more lenient. For instance, it is no longer necessary that the enrollee be a member of a relief family. In fact, an efJfort is being made to get boys of the non-relief group, for the. E ST7 A Good ' 4-PAGES TODAY ?????'
