Show CCC's Contribute l Civilian Conservation Corps camps in the Fort Douglas district contributed $1,568.92 for aid to the destitute in the flood stricken areas in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, Brigadier General W. C. Sweeney, district commander, an- i nounced last week. I This sum represents an average of $34.10 for each of the 46 canrps , in the district. General Sweeney i pointed out that the enrollees in the C C C camps receive only a nominal sum, averaging about $5.00 per month for each man, for i their personal use. The remainder ; of what they receive from the government is alloted to needy 1 relatives. ! "I feel that the amount donated i by the enrollees and officers in the C C C camps in the Fort Douglas Doug-las district is a manifestation of a most humane spirit of self sacrifice sacri-fice and is worthy of the highest praise," General Sweeney said. |
