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

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. After the
lovely covered dish dinner a social
afternoon was spent. Some time was
spent on the club songs.
January CO we met at the Lewis
ton Community Center, the hostc-s-es
being Mrs. Ezra Albin and Mrs. Ben
Albin. Everyone enjoyed the usual
good dinner. A short business meet
ing was held, then the project lead
ers gave the lesson on "Happy
Homes." Mrs. Everett Spangler, our
group chairman was present. We all
enjoyed having her with us. A show
er was given the baby son of Mrs.
Fonda Ferris.
One of the best social gatherings
our club ever enjoyed was a "Hobo"
party February 14, given by Mrs.
Tony Klimni at her lovely 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.
