Appointment of Dennis Chavez, former congressman, as senator
form New Mexico gives the Democrats 70 of the 06 seats in the
United States senate. Chavez, a Democrat, succeeds the late
Bronson Cutting who was killed recently in an airplane crash in
Missouri. New Mexico’s new senator should prove a staunch New
Deal supporter since he is classed as a "regular”, is a Democratic
national comitteeman and pledged his unqualified support of the
administration during his last campaign. He served two terms in
congress, from 1981 to 1935, is an attorney and lives at Albu
querque. Gov. Clyde Tingley, Democrat, made the appointment.

have got tu whar we can live with
out work now—we've bin that way
ever since the goverment went tu
feedn us, and sum more no count
folks. Fact is I didn't feel able tu
work this spring—up tu two months
ago Sal couldn't git me tu tote a
peck of com down tu Peelers mill;
then Dr. Buff got me started on
these here Crazy water crystals, and
now 1 feel so strong that I carried
seven gallons of that stuff all the
way from Burke tu Gus Richards
barn loft, one nite last week; and
whipped Johnson Bridges and sum
other feller as soon as I got home.
Sum of 'em lowed tuther feller mite
a bln Ambrose Hoyle from over on
Knob Crick, but Ambrose's wife
swore he wuz at home that nite.
Next day Sal found a bunch of gray
hair whar the scuffle wuz, and if
you eer tuck notice Tom Stamey is
a glttln purty gray. Well hit looks
now like them fellers we sent
down tu Raleigh is agwine tu keep
on fooling around till they git sum
kind of whiskey law pasted yet. Wuz
you ever as ashamed of a set of fel
lers in all your life as you air of
them fellers that voted fur a liquor
law? Do you reckon they hant got
no better sente or what is the mat
ter with ’em..
Sal sez when men went insane
they use tu send ’em to the asylum
and lock ’em up, but now they list
6end ’em down tu Raleigh tu pas';
laws fur sensble folks tu live under.
I told her I jut believed the devil
had a whole lot to do with it too.
But they say: ‘Lets let the hotels
sell whiskey anyway." Now wouldn t
that, be a purty mess fur North Car
olina tu git intu. But jlst as shore
as they do pass that law m* and

Most every time he finds out she is

summer as one of the family, as the
saying Is. He sent us word tuther
day that he needed her bad fur he

A Bigger CCC Moves to Outstrip Own
Two-Year Record of Achievement .
—
f
l _
Federal approval of CCC’s splendid work, revealed In tlie decision to expand the personnel and
facilities of the corps, spurs the youthful workers at their task of saving Uncle Sam’s land and trees.
TN accordance with the decision
to extend the Civilian Conser
vation Corps, more than a thou
sand CCC camps are being added
to those already dotting the coun
try, and 280,000 additional young
men are being recruited to carry
on the work of saving the nation’s
trees and lands.
Because of its splendid record
of accomplishment since the first
200 CCC men set up camp in Vir
ginia in April, 1933, the organiza
tion has earned an extra two
year lease of life, extending into
March. 1987.
The present CCC enrollment
quota of 370,000 is being expand
ed to 800,000; and the number of
camps will be increased from
1T00 to about 3000.
• • •
/"VF all the New Deal expert
ments, the CCC has been one
of the most effective and the lefest
criticised. A glance at the re
sults it has achieved thus far may
explain why, and suggest what'
may be accomplished in the next
two years, with doubled facilities
and working staff.
Since it got under way two
years ago, the CCC has:
Devoted 1.697,565 man-days
to fighting forest fires, besides
removing forest debris, thin
ning out i^ndesirable trees, cut
ting 84,714 lire breaks, setting
up 48,178 miles of truck trails,
and carrying out other forest
fire prevention measures.
Built 6600 reservoirs and
dams for fish, livestock, and
recreation.
Built 1,025,741 erosion dams
to keep fertile top soil from
washing away.
Planted 266,467,000 tress.
Introduced rodent, insect,
and tree disease control to an
area nearly as large as the
state of New York.
These are the tangible benefit
• • •
A CCORDING to Director Robert
Fechner, the money value of
the works constructed by CCC is
around $835,000,000, about half of
the cost of the corps to date.
Indirect benefits in preserva
tion and improvement of natural
resources he estimates as un
doubtedly hundreds pf millions
more.
Then Fechner points to the ben
eficial effect on the CCC. men
themselves. Healthful, morale
building and educational work in
the great outdoors has been pro
vided for thousands of young men
who otherwise might be spending
their time Idling at street cor
ners.
And the |20 or $25 sent home
each month by those youths, dur
ing the last two years, has been
a godsend to dependents.
Forest Service experts believe
that the long-neglected conserva
tion program, which has made
little progress since Theodore
Roosevelt's administration, has
been advanced 20 years by the
ccc.
So impressive has baen the
performance of the CCC. accord
ing to Director Fechner, that the
corps may eventually be regarded
as a permanent federal Institu
tion.
