Show M MilfordjGCC Notes (By Ben Garrigan) Since last May 29, 50 enrollees of Company 1508 at Milford Camp G-35 have become holders of first aid certff icates. Company Commander Com-mander Clifford R. Jones and Dr. Joseph S. Hart are keeping well ahead of the accident index by maintaining a constant supply of well-trained first aid men in camp and on the projects. The most recent re-cent graduates are 3G leaders and members who passed their test August 18. Superintendent Clyde Tervort of Milford Camp G-35 ;s justly proud of his foreman training director, Thomas Parry. Mr. Parry and Mr. Tervort were highly complimented compli-mented by the regional training and safety director, Dan Bromley, for their exceptional program of foreman training. In July Mr. Parry attended the five-day conference con-ference for training leaders. Upon his visit here last week Mr. Bromley Brom-ley found Mr. Parry's program the most complete and the farthest advanced of any camp under his supervision. Members of Company 1508 feel that the gods looked on them with favor when Company Commander Rahe A. Miller was transferred to this company 'because his transfer gives them two company commanders com-manders as officers. When Commander Clifford R. Jones went on training duty, followed fol-lowed by 30 days of leave, Commander Com-mander Miller was temporarily assigned to the company. Meanwhile Mean-while Mr. Miller's- company received re-ceived a new commander and a new subaltern. So, upon completion comple-tion of his temporary duty, Mr Miller waited for orders. They came: transfer to Company 1508. No special incentive is needed by the members of the Beaver branch of Milford Camp G-35 to get interested in western history. They are living 75 years of it. The (Continued on iast pagt) MilfordCCC Notes (Continued from first page) man company is one of the build-barracks build-barracks and messhall of this 25-ings 25-ings of old Fort Cameron, built in 1SC.". to protect settlers in southern south-ern V t :i h from Indian attacks. Many years later the Mormon church brought the land and fort and established there the Murdock Mur-dock academy, one of the early church schools. When the academy was closed 20 years ago the buildings build-ings were torn down or fell into decay. Then came the C C C and grazing graz-ing program for Beaver county. The one remaining building of Fort Cameron became a spike camp for Milford G-35. Now 75 years old, the building still has the orignal floors, yoodwork and plaster, but doors, windows and roof covering have been replaced. M |
