Show CCC Represents Sixteen of States ! Sixteen states are represented in the CCC camps in the Fort Doug-. Doug-. las district, Brigadier General W. ! C. Sweeney, district commander, ' announced this week. The district j includes 46 camps and a headquarters head-quarters detachment. Of this number 32 camps and headquarters detachment are in Utah, two camps are in Arizona and 12 in Nevada. Quotas for the CCC are established estab-lished on a basis of population. Utah and Nevada have their full quota of enrollees but profit to an additional extent by having companies com-panies from other states assigned to this region. It has been pointed out that if the CCC camp population popula-tion were confined to local enrollees enrol-lees only the number of camps in the western states would be reduced reduc-ed because of the relative smaller population. The program of transferring eastern and mid-western companies to the far west has been found to be advantageous. The mountain states have larger areas of public domain with greater numbers of desirable projects to be undertaken under-taken and can therefore accomodate accomo-date more than the regular quota of enrollees from the local territory. terri-tory.
