PAULSON "Building men" was the foremost fore-most idea of Presidet Roosevelt in launching 'his reforestation program. pro-gram. This guiding principle sticks out sharply in every activity acti-vity of vhe Salt-Creek camp- 11 miles from Nephi, the camp which is under direction of Lieutenant W. R. Irish and where 'ha t ies Or Moisy Jr. Uintah forest supervisor, 'nas charge of the work.

The setting of the camp is a gem of natural 'beauty. It is right back of snow-streaked Mt. Nebo, whicli towers above nearly 12,000 feet, has a stream of ice-cold mountain water piped into the buildings, another stream alive with trout not a hundred yards away and is surrounded by deep green cotton woods, aspens, birch and a young forest of Western v.tiite pine. A new light shines in the faces of the youths and men who are tfickling the forest work. . W, J. r . - ,i Puwdl of Salt Lake, for instance, ii; enlisted a long with his son, A. C Powell.

Salesmen, miners, farm "boys, j ex-teachers, former railroad men j are mingling with boys who have never- been away from home and who are experiencing their first taste of a "man-building" process in the heart of Utah's dew-washed' hills. Every man of the Nebo division camp- is from Utah. "It's surprising the amount of . real good that's being done here," Lieutenant Irish observed. "Men are able to pay their life insurance; insur-ance; some are saving their homes; others are keeping bread and butter on family tables and in one case I know of a young man who is sending his younger brother to school. He later plans to study medicine." Most of the men are sending $25 a month of the $30 they get to their families, or dependents. Some are sending as high as $27.50 a month, keeping the $2.50 for sundry expenses, and four men are sending the full $30. The men are enlisted for a 6-month period. Many From Provo Several you Wis from Provo are in the camp and a number that formerly attended the Brigham Young university are at work on the forest projects there. Among those from Provo at the camp are Bill Whittaker,' Eugene Henderson, Hender-son, Eugene Carter. Don Giles, Stanley. Bennett, Waldy Bolinder and Don Penrod. Sickness? There isn't any. In the six weeks the men 'have been at camp only one man has had to lay off because of illness and he had only slight stomach trouble. The men eat heartily and all the ingenuity of Jack W. Sinclair, mess sergeant, is called upon to feed them for friis maximum of 31.34 cents. Here are three typical typi-cal meals they get: Breakfast-oatmeal, Breakfast-oatmeal, fresh milk, (to drink) scrambled eggs, fried bacon, sliced bananas with cream sauce and bread, butter and coffee. Dinner Griddled top round steak, country coun-try gravy, fried potatoes, string beans, lettuce salad with French dressing, bread, butter, jam, coffee. Supper ' Beef Spanish, potatoes, , Spanish rice, cottage pudding, bread, butter, coffee and dill pickles. pick-les. Last Sunday's dinner included includ-ed fried spring chicken, asparagus aspara-gus tips, tomato and lettuce salad and strawberry shortcake, among ot'her things. All the fresh vegetables, eggs, bread, butter and the like are obtained ob-tained from local merchants and the other supplies, such as canned goods are brought in twice a month from Fort Douglas. It takes about 500 pounds of beef a week for the men, 12 pounds of butter a day, 1500 pounds of potatoes pota-toes in ten days and 9 cases of eggs in 10 ' days. Bread in the amount of 75 loaves a day are purchased, in addition to the biscuits bis-cuits and hot rolls made in the big army field range, on which all the cooking is done. The men get their meals in the regulation army mess kit. At the call, each man gets his kit and files around in cafeteria style and later sits at the tables in the newly built mess hall. After the meals he takes his kit to the rear of the hall where boiling boil-ing soapy water is provided and two hot rinse waters for cleaning. Cleanliness Urged Before the meal he may. take a shower in the new shower rooms, buitt just last week and equipped with hot and cold water. Most of the men get up a game of playground play-ground ball or baseball, play horseshoe horse-shoe or hike in the evenings. A new shipment of equipment and the construction of volley-ball courts will permit the playing of volley baCl after this week and boxing gloves and baseball equipment equip-ment are provided, as well. Two men, Doyle Jensen of Salt Lake and Dave Turner, have made the nine-mile trip to the top of Mt. Nebo and several others have gone part way. Work in the forest, under general gen-eral supervision of Mr. De Moisy, is directed toy G. L. Barron, formerly form-erly of Springville. Construction of the camp buildings has occupied the men most of the time so far, but with this under way they are going out into the forest. Next Monday work begins on the Red Creole road which wilil link Salt Creek with Payson canyon, provide a scenic route and open the way to new territory where wood can be provided for the people peo-ple of Juab county. A number of men have been busy cleaning up recreation camps building benches, tables and rest rooms but so far most of the labor has been right at camp. Two Big Barracks There are now two big barracks, one big mess hall, a wash room, water line, and administration building under construction, and Lieutenant Iris has laid out the ground for an outdoor theatre and a hospital. The hospital is located with shade at all times of the day and the theatre is in a place made-to-order. . Friday night is the "opening evening" when there will be a band concert, a talk by Mr. De Moisy and by Governor Blood, if the executive is able to be present, among others. . Magazines and hooks are provided pro-vided in a permanent library and a traveling library will soon be instituted. One library unit will serve nine camps, according to Sergeant M. V. Hansen, one of the camp directors. First call for the men is bugled at 6:30 in the morning, breakfast is at 7 and at 7:45 comes the morning work call. Recall from work is at 11:45, the afternoon work call comes at 12:55 and the recall from work is at 3:55, making mak-ing a total of seven hours of work. Saturday and Sundays the men have to themselves, and a religious religi-ous service held on Sundays is well attended. Supper is served at 5:30 and "tights out" is at 9:30. The men are inspected for cleanliness of person, clothing and barracks every Saturday morning and the barracks get inspection every day by Lieutenant Irish. "The men here are exceptionally neat," the camp commander said, and a glance at the straw-ticked, army-blanketed bunks bears out his words. Singing is prevalent among the men and Pete Anderson, Ander-son, Nephi's 'cowboy tenor' and one of the foremen, is the leader. Card playing also is a popular diversion.
