V PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - .WEEKLY JOTTED AL page point MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1940. CCC Anniversary Observed by Mem bers of Cass Camp Open House at Camp at Weeping Water Marks Seventh Anniver sary of Founding of CCC CCC camp, Co. 751, of Weeping Water, celebrated the seventh anni versary of the Civilian Conservation Corps by holding "Open House" at the camp Sunday, April 7. .Although this is the seventh birthday of the corps, it is a little over four years since the opening of Camp 751 at Weeping Water. At present there are 196 boys enrolled. They are en rolled between the ages of 17 and 24, and for a term of six months .The time limit for their stay at the camp is two years. . Many boys have come to this CCC camp since it was stationed at Weeping Water four years ago. Most of them were unused to living in groups. There have been adjustments to make. Some have experienced the pangs of home-sickness, but there has always been someone ready to assist. Each enrollee is the respon sibility of the supervisory personnel. Many of the boys have been guests at Weeping Water homes, and many have entered into the activities of the community. They have been a definite asset to Weeping Water. Out of the chaos of fouf years ago, when the camp was set up in time for its occupants to undergo the severe blizzards of that never to be forgotten winter, with their inade quate buildings and equipment, there has emerged a camp of improved buildings, with a large improvement program ahead. New buildings are added from time to time, with ade quate equipment for study and rec reation. Visitors are always welcome at these camps. To most outsiders the fine work done will be a complete surprise. The first three months of a rookie's life at camp is spent in learning CCC rules and regulations, the under standing of work and its responsibil ities, health talks, taking tests for deficiencies in their education, special aptitudes, and intelligence. Gullied and former waste areas totaling 283 acres have been planted to trees and shrubs by the enrollees of this camp. Last spring 215,000 trees were' planted. They have the privilege to learn truck driving, map ping, soil work, typing, drafting, cooking, surveying, carpentry, use of engineering instruments, and many unskilled Jobs. Music classes are un der the supervision of Jean G. Jones or the Weeping Water public schools. Arrangements have also been made so that students from the camp may attend the Weeping Water high school. Seventy-six men at the camp hold active First Aid certificates. Hobbies arc encouraged at the camp. Photo graphy, leatherwork, drawing and woodwork are a definite part of the camp program. Journalism Is a popular study also. A projector is owned by the camp, with films on science, conservation, health, indus try, vocations, safety, economics, and other subjects are shown. Warren M. French, who, on March 15 won the coveted award of educa tional achievement at the camp writes in the April number of their official paper "The Tommyhawk." "V believe the CCC is a splendid or ganization in which any young man should be proud to be enrolled. It is by no means a life work; but I can say, without fear of justifiable con tradiction that it serves as an ex cellent training ground for the poor ly trained unemployed youth of our nation. Truly the CCC is a Builder of Men." It would be hard to find a finer set of officers than those who are at this camp. The community is deeply ap preciative for their splendid co-operation in all civic affairs, and for their splendid influence on the youth who are in camp. The present personnel are: Russel L. Dudley, company commander; J. O. Winjum, subaltern; Byron W. Hall, camp physician; Neil A. Rob son, educational supervisor; Howard B. Ellis, superintendent; James. C. Carrigan, engineer; Paul II. Howe, agronomist; Wm. B. Whitney, me chanic; John A. , Clymer, soils tech nician; Wayne B. Girardot, conserva tionist; Wm. J. Mooney, foreman; Harry "E. Potts, foreman; James E.
