New Men One hundred and ninety men from Kentucky ami surrounding states arrived at the new home of Camp DG-35 Wednesday, October 23. The new men expressed the ' thought that they were glad to be able to come to UtSh, as most of k them have never been here before, hut they thought it was a long way from home, and that the wind blew too much, and that they didn't like the desert, and that their leaves of absent would be few; but the officers were O. K., they liked the way the camp was built, and they think they will have one swell time in Milford. Medals Presented At a farewell dinner given Monday, October 21, for the menj being transferred, Captain James M. Walker presented medals to Lloyd Mathews, Horace Sadler and Willis Rogers for their outstanding out-standing work in the C C C's for the past six months. The medals are bronz C C C medals, with members' names inscribed on the back. The three men to receive the medals have been with company 1964 since its beginning. The statement was made of Mr. Sadler that, "while men in hi? same crew cut 15 and 16 fence posts, he cut 39 and 40.". Mr. Mathews is the only leader in the company who has worked a group of men without with-out a forest foreman being over the group. Mr. Rogers is the oldest old-est member in the company. Although Al-though Mr. Sadler was transfered to the Bridgeland camp, Mr. Mathews and Mr. Rogers remain with this company, and with their excellent leadership this company of men ought to do things.
