Show Desert Range C. C. C. Camp By Marv Smith, Camp Correspondent Oh, Yes, The Weather The cold has reached the twenty below zero mark at camp by official offi-cial thermometer reports. The coldness has been unofficially estimated as running into three figures. Anyhow, the general opinion is that it is "too cold." So what? At any rate, we like the snow and are looking for Santa Claus most any day. By Correspondence ? Girl's Father (angrily):. "I'll teach you to make love to my daughter." Chris: "I wish you would. I don't seem to be making much headway." Goodby Appendix This past week two more camp members have changed their addresses ad-dresses temporarily to the Milford hospital. Don Overly, popular athlete, decided that he would like to meet these good looking nurses and there he is. Earl Huggard, blonde representative from American Ameri-can Fork, also suffered from acute appendicitis. However, he picked the wrong day to get operated on because the radiator of the ambulance am-bulance froze up, only a few miles from camp and cracked the cylinder cylin-der head. Fortunately Truck-driver Truck-driver Corbett (grandson of the famous James J. Corbett) happened happen-ed along and had no end of fun pushing the ambulance into port. Capable (even as a lieutenant) Dr. Arvin trimmed the corners off Don and Earl, who are doing exceptionally ex-ceptionally well. Leaves for School Lawrence "Tex" Mullins, best looking man in camp, was discharged dis-charged from the Civilian Conservation Conser-vation Corps last Monday at his own request so that he could go to school. Tex lives in Provo and will go the B. Y. U. While at camp, he usuallv acted as master i of ceremonies at our programs and was active in other ways also. al-so. He will be missed by the camp members as well as by the Milford girls. Feature Frake Lieutenant C. 0.

Leaving quickly, said clerk did not take gloves, hat, coat or overshoes. Consequently, when the road became be-came obscure in the blizzard, and the car became "derailed" into a deep snow drift, Lieutenant Frake graciously insisted on getting out in the sub-zero weather and doing the push act. Though innocence of any artifice or strategy is claimed by correspondent, is was nevertheless neverthe-less a treat to be pushed out of a snowbank by one's superior officer. of-ficer. In the office or afield, the lieutenant is ever ready (free adv't) and a sport. His efficiency at the up-and-at-'em game was proven when he had shouldered the car back onto the highway almost before clerk was able to start the motor and release the brakes. It is reported that he has since turned turn-ed down several offers as a football foot-ball tackle. Inspection Major H. P. Blanks, district inspector in-spector from Fort Douglas, recently recent-ly made an official tour of Camp DF-33. He just missed the spell of cold weather and went over into in-to Nevada from here to visit the other camp of the Civilian Conservation Conser-vation Corps there. .
