SURRY CCC CAMP IS
LIKE A SMALL CITY
Camp Is Rapidly Being
Completed; Has Con
veniences
The CCC camp, which is lo
cated near the county-seat town of
Dobson, presents a scene of hum
ming activities any day of the week
a passer-by may chance to glance at
it from the adjoining highway.
No columns of militarized men are
seen marching in dignified parade
among the half-grown oaks of the
camp ground, but a generous scat
tering of brown-shirted-feoys in ov
eralls, with turned-down hats and
other regalia suggesting a combina
tion of army and civilian life, are
seen busy with hoes, mattocks,
rakes, saws, hammers and other
tools putting the final touches on
the grounds of the campus.
A plot of 18 acres of land in a
nicely thinned grove of small oaks
on which is scattered, in orderly
fashion a groupe of 18 buildings
with graveled walk-ways and drive
ways, that are bordered with rock
lined ditches and rustic fences
against a background of very green
young grass, with a fish pond and
fountain near the center of it all,
greets the eye of a visitor to the CCC
camp near Dobson. .
Here resides a group of 186 CCC
boys, sons of North Carolinians who
have been called by our National
Government in a great conservation
project which is fostered by a great
hearted and far-seeing leader.
All activities of the camp which
are carried on within the limits of
the 18-acre piece of land are under
the direct supervision of the U. S.
Army, which has three officers sta
tioned there to direct the affairs of
the camp proper. All activities that
are carried on outside of the camp
are under the direction of the E. C.
W. There are 11 technicians and
officers connected with the E. C. W.
phase of the CCC camp. - All are
housed and fed by the U. S. A»my.
Taking a closer look at the build
ings of the camp we find four bar-

JVomen should wl
take only V K
laxatives V /
lif ORE people could feel fine, be
fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitab in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can't be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use a liquid laxative,
and keep reducing the apse until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, and that's why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn't give you absolute relief, if
it isn't a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes any sluggishness or
biliousness, your money Dack.

racks, with a capacity of 50 boys
each; a camp office, which is the
headquarters of the Camp Lieuten
ant; an infirmary, with a licensed
physician in charge; a supply room,
where stores of all sorts of clothing,
bedding and such like things are
kept; a mess hall, in which is
housed also the food-supply room,
kitchen, officers dining room and
main mess hall; a recreation build
ing, where the boys spend their
evenings reading and enjoying
games; an educational building, with
a library and work shop; the E. Q.
W. building, with a large stone
chimney and spacious living room,
which is the residence of the E. C.
W. corp; the camp officers quarters;
a garage and car bam, with a ca
pacity of 15 cars, and with a full
time mechanic in charge; a black
smith shop and tool house, with a
full-time blacksmith in charge who
has the job of keeping the boys sup
plied with sharp hoes, picks and
mattocks;an oil and grease house;
the campMatreen; a bath house, with
twelve showers and a steady supply
of hot water; and the office of the
E. C. W. men, where the soil con
servation work is planned and map
ped out.
Taking a general survey of the
camp one finds a number of things
of passing interest. There is a cen
tral water system having two tanks
of 5,000 gallons capacity, and an
electric pump which forces the wa
ter into them from a well 186 feet
deep. There is also a sewage dis
posal plant large enough to care for
the needs of a small town.
On the south side of the camp
there is an athletic field with space
for two tennis courts and ample
ground for many other games.
The camp is fully equipped with
electric lights, and also has direct
telephone connections with Mount!
Airy.
There is a camp store, or canteen,
where the boys may buy such things
as cold drinks, smokes, stationery,
etc., out of what they have left of
their allowance after that $25.00 has
been sent to their home folks. All
of the boys are allowed at least
$30.00 a month, while the leaders of
the working crews get $45.00 each
per month, and the assistant lead
ers get $36.00 each per month.
Taking a look inside of the build
ings one will find them all neat and
in order, with the small army cots
in all of the barracks made up in
military style, and the large mess
hall, where 192 boys may eat at one
time, scrubbed and in good order.
There is a kitchen force of 14, with
two orderlies to assist them, and
three large hotel ranges are required
to cook the food for the more than
200 people who are fed at each meal.
In every building on the grounds,
except the latreen and the bath
house, is found at least one cot
where someone sleeps, for at least
one person is required to sleep in
each building as a safeguard against
fire or burglary. There is also a
night guard on duty throughout the
night to watch for any fire or any
other irregularity that may occur.
The camp force has at its disposal
two army trucks, while the E. C. W.
has seven trucks of popular makes,
and a station wagon and coupe are
expected soon. There are two gas
tanks to supply this outfit. One for
the army trucks and one for the
E. C. W. trucks. Such is necessary
because of the dual nature of the
camp.
In the blacksmith shop and tool
house your writer was shown two
large wooden boxes about the size
of large caskets and with handles
on the sides like caskets. A glance
inside revealed, not a corpse or
bones, but tools. They were the for
est fire fighting equipment, with
hoes, mattocks, fire rakes, lanterns,

water tanks with spray guns at
tached, and such other things as
are necessary to equip 40 or 50 men
for immediate action in Combating
[ forest fires. It was stated by one in
| charge that the two cases, with all
of their tools, were kept intact and
leady to throw onto trucks at any
minute, in case a fire should break
out.
In the E. C. W. office one will find
a group of technicians and boys
working over many little odd look
ing maps and charts. They are the
maps of farms where soil conserva
tion work Is being carried on, show
ing locations of fields, gullies, forests
and all the other things that go to
make up a farm, as well as a chart
of the various soils to be found in
each field.
The CCC boys as a whole seem to
be friendly, jolly and pretty well
content with their environment and
work. A string quartet is now being
organized, and it is hoped that
there will be other sorts of musicians
discovered and developed in the camp
for .entertainment during the long
winter evenings. Religious services
are also held at the camp from
time to time. *
Thus one will see that the CCC
boys are well situated, and that their
place of residence is one of activity
and interest.
Lieutentant Johnson stated that
the camp would be glad to have visi
tors any time except during working
hours. Your writer received a very
cordial i welcome, and was shown
about over the grounds by the camp
physician, Dr. Sykes.
