Show ST. GEORGE CAMP by H. J. Colman Eighty-seven men from the St. George camp left yesterday, having hav-ing completed their enrollments, ranging from six to twenty-three months in the Civilian Conservation Conserva-tion Corps. These men have been with the company for various periods, some having joined when it was first formed at Duck Creek, Utah, and some having come in when the company moved mov-ed to St. George for the second time last fall. They have all served their enrollments faithfully faith-fully and well, and we who are remaining wish them the best of luck, and very sincerely hope that they may find employment in the very near future. Nineteen of these men are from St. George and surrounding communities, com-munities, while the larger part of the discharged men are from Salt Lake, 3 6 of them leaving on the special train that left Cedar City last Monday. On the same train were five enrollees from Ogden. The remainder of the men went direct to their homes in Cedar City, and namely, Pan-guitch, Pan-guitch, Kanarra, Loa, Marysvale, Orderville, Rockville, Hurricane and Pleasant Grove. The working forces on the company's projects have been cut considerably, but the work on all three of them goes on just the same. The dam being built between be-tween St. George and Santa Clara is 'rapidly nearing completion, while the flood control dykes on the creek have reached the Virgin Vir-gin River. The crew of men working on the d-rainage system on Sugarloaf report rapid progress. pro-gress. Donald H.
