Local Boys Tel! of Life in C C C Camp in Kansas Tell of Work of Soil Conservation and Incidents of Life in the Camp in West Kansas. C. C. C. Co. 753, Kalvesta, Kas. A letter from the boys, To our friends: Just a few lines to let you know how everything is down here in camp. Probably most of you do not know the objective of this camp here in Kansas, so I will try to tell you. We are building a dam to form a lake, for a government resort. There will be thirty miles of road building. The lake is to drain sixteen sections of land, and when full it will cover more than a half section of land. The dam itself, will contain approximate ly 250,000 cubic yards of dirt and more than 20,000 cubic yards of rock. There will be a 30-ft. roadway across the top of the dam. The dam will be over a half mile long and 50 feet high in the highest part. The work we have done up to date is nothing compared to what will have to be done. Most of the work so far has been hand labor. We are getting a little machinery which in cludes about 12 dump carts, 20 dump wagons, tour caterpillars, an ele vating grader, etc. When the dirt moving is in full swing, which will be a month from now, they intend to move 100 yards of dirt an hour, or 1200 yards a day. There are two companies here in this camp and they each work on a different shift, six hours for each shift, one in the morn ing and the other in the afternoon. It is estimated that it will take 18 months to complete the dam. I am afraid there will be very few of us Nebraska boys here to see the com pletion as nearly every one of us dislike this windy, dusty state of Kansas. So much for the dam. The camp suffered an unlucky break about two weeks ago when it was discovered that we had a case of scarlet fever. The disease seemed to spread rapidly at first, altho no one seemed dangerously ill, we were quite worriid for a time. First of all we were tiuarantined from the out side world. Then one of the barracks was quarantined. The doctor didn't have enough trouble, even after he lifted the quarantine he thought his troubles over, when lobar pneumonia claimed the life of Emmet P. Vaughn, age 20, member of Co. 754 at the camp hospital on February 12. The young man was taken to the camp hospital February 2 with influenza which developed into pneumonia three days later. Mrs. T. F. Vaughn, Omaha, mother of the deceased lad was called to the camp several days ago, when the youth's condition grew worse and was at his bedside at the time of his death. The body was taken to Cimarron and from there to Omaha for burial with an escort from Camp Kinney. Both companies turned out, to show respects, at 7:30 a. ra. the following morning for formal retreat and left the flag at half mast until noon. We are 50 miles from Dodge City and about 45 miles from Garden City, but every Saturday night there are quite a few of us that ride to town on the back end of the truck to at tend shows, dances, etc. Some of the boys go window shopping because their $5.00 a month is rather limited when it comes to enjoying one's self. I think the greatest pleasure wo boys get, however, is when we get mail from home. I know Bill, Dick, and myself certainly look forward to letters from home. You should see Dick's face when he gets a letter Ironi a certain person in our home town. It lights up like a lightning bug in the dark. After each day's work we rush back to camp to see if our folks or our friends have written to us. The mail call for the day is the big thing for us C. C.'s. We have a very good basketball team here, one of the best I have eer sen in action. The team has only played one game so far on ac count of the quarantine. They play ed the Clighton town team and won, easily 37 to 10. There is one thing we never hear of here in camp and that is depression. We get our three squares a day and one who is fsd well is usually contented. We have a plan where we can buy our candy, cigarettes and the like, here in camp, so we do not have to worry about sweets, etc, unless the camp store happens to be out or we are broke. You can guess how much candy and tobacco it takes to keep 400 vigorous young men contented. Well I guess I have writteu about all there is of interest and hopin? that our friends in PlatUcaouth acd Mur- SCOUT TE00P HAS INVESTITURE From Tuesday's Dally Investiture ceremonies took up much of the time at last night's Boy Scout meeting, with three new mem bers being received in the Tenderfoot class. The candlelight ceremony was carried out in the gymnasium at the high school where the Scouts are accustomed to meet. The three new boys to be received in the ranks of Tenderfoot Scouting were John Tidball, Elmore Brink and James Sandin. This brings the troop strength up to its allowable number thirty-two, and necessitates holding off other applicants for membership for the time being, until arrangements can be made for some local organization to sponsor a second Scout troop here. With the new cabin now nearing completion there are a large number of boys of Scouting age desiricus of becoming members and every effort will be made to accomodate them. Ccrnhusker area headquarters will give its consent to the organization cf a second troop at once and later on it may be necessary to organize a third troop in order to take care of all the applicants. In the meantime, boys desirious of joining may file their application with Scoutmaster Raymond Larson of the American Legion troop, so they can be taken in as soon as the new troop is orga nized in the near future. In addition to the investiture cere monies presentation was made of the 1034 membership cards to troop com mittee members and these Scouts who recently re-registered for the year. Recognition was given Aulton Roland, who has advanced from the ranks of Scouting to assistant Scout master, by the award of a five-year pin. Pleasing reports were received from several patrols on President Roosevelt's nation-wide "good turn" appeal, broadcast to all Scouts in the United States a week ago Saturday. Partial canvases have been made for clothing, bedding, furniture and toys to be assembled by the Scout orga nization and later given to needy people of the community in accord ance with the president's request. All those having such articles to give and who have not yet been con tacted by members of the Scouts are requested to get in touch with Scout master Raymond Larson or Aulton Lioland, assistant Scoutmaster. IEWIST0N SOCIAL CIECLE Two meetings v.-ere Iicld in Jan uary. Mrs. John Hobscheidt and Mrs. Martin Spore-r entertained Jan. 2 at the Ilohscheidt home.

Everyone went dressed to fit th oc casion. Some vcr good hobos were present. The afternoon was spent in stunts, games and taking pictures. Mrs. Asch played several piano selec tions in her pleasing manner. At the close of the afternoon Mrs. Klimm asked the guests to further carry out the hobo idea by going to the back door and asking for a hand out. Some real reasons why they wanted something to eat were given. Each one was given a paper bag con taining a randwich. The hostess then invited her guests inside where de-1 lioious refreshments were served. Everyone departed thanking the hostess for such a lovely time spent in her home.
