Show 190 Ohio CCC's Due Next Week C C C camp No. DG-35 is about to get its allotment of enrollees after a long wait and thus be able to begin work on a big program of winter range development jalong lines laid out by L. C. Koch, engineer-superintendent of the local camp, who has been working steadily to get the work properly outlined. As a result, the plans for work to be clone by the Mil-ford Mil-ford camp are among the very best and farthest advanced of any of the camps being set up for work under the department of grazing. The coming allotment of men consists of 190 enrollees from the fifth corps area, now in camp at Fort Knox, Ohio, according to information in-formation arriving this week, and the group are expected to arrive in Miiford Tuesday or Wednesday Wednes-day of this coming week. From the fact that they are so late in arriving it is thought that they have undergone the necessary vaccinations vac-cinations and similar treatments treat-ments and will have only to spend a few days about camp getting acclimated ac-climated before they can. be put to work. Though somewhat slow in getting get-ting completed and still slower in being manned, due in no respect whatever to those who have been in charge or the fine group of enrollees from the Beaver camp who have been assisting the Mil-ford Mil-ford camp is one of the best, according to the opinion of all those who have visited it or made an inspection. The fact that it has its own independent water supply from a well specially drilled to excellent ex-cellent water, together with exceptionally ex-ceptionally fine sanitary provisions provi-sions about camp, while adding, no doubt, to the cost of the camp, have helped to make it one that will be outstanding in the state. And the splendid work done by Captain Knapp, with his very able construction foreman, Sam Shields and Camp Superintendent L. C. Koch and local mechanics cooperating, cooper-ating, have accomplished wonders, with Captain Knapp and the others oth-ers constantly growing in popularity popu-larity and the respect of Miiford people. Those Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky boys are coming to a good camp and one that will help make their stay in the west pleasant! pleas-ant! It is understood that the men of Company 1!C4, located this past summer in the Beaver mountains, will be moved to Miiford within a few clays for formal disbamlment, the men to be scattered among other winter camps maintained by the forest service. |
