A. j The problem of feeding these men naturally falls upon the' Army Personnel. Three meals a day entails the supply of sufTic-i ient foods stuff to adequately1 supply the men with reasonable rations. Sources of supply of these foodstuff naturally imply a' marketable source of revenue for those producers that are in market mar-ket for same. According to authentic au-thentic information gained from; Sergeant Francis M. Palmer, in1 charge of kitchen and Mess Sergeant, Ser-geant, all of the vegetables, green foods, ice, milk, and other perishable per-ishable commodities are purchas-l ed locally. Farmers ar.d producers produc-ers ot the towns of Rockville and Springdale are being contacted 1 daily for supply of various com-i niodrties so. needed by the camp. ; This revenue coming into the Southern Utah communities from the Civilian Conservation Contingents Contin-gents can. and no doubt will, go a long way toward helping the local conditions. In addition thereto the roads in the vicinity of the camps and leading thereto will be improved considerably. Work is now progressing on the road via Virgin City Blue Spring's North Creek road. Lumber, Lum-ber, tools, and other supplies are arriving daily for construction of the permenant camp at Blue Springs. This camp located at Blue Springs will begin construction construc-tion as soon as the road is prepared pre-pared for truck travel. A sub-camp sub-camp SP-1 of about 25 men are now camped at Pine Creek where they are working the road on to Blue Spring. Local communities will benefit from the monthly pay I roll which now consists of about 60 men. When the camp is constructed con-structed at Blue Spring the enrollment en-rollment will increase to an approximate ap-proximate total of 150 men: 77 experienced and 73 unexperienced men in addition to the Park officials of-ficials and their assistants located locat-ed at the camp who will supervise super-vise the work. Pay roll at that time will amount to a considerable consider-able sum which will be spent locally. lo-cally. According to word received by correspondent from. Capt., Garth B. Haddock those having produce for sale that can be easily transported trans-ported at low cost for camp use it would be appreciated if they would get in touch with officials at camp P-l. or Capt.. Garth B. Haddock himself. |
