woman reporters to visit the
Civilian Conservation Camp of
Fort Benning, where young men
from this section are 'being con

furnish for publication a detailed
report of prevailing conditions at
the camp as she found them. The
following is her interesting story,
which the Herald takes pleasure
in reproducing by courtesy of
our esteemed Columbus newspa

sure will be of interest to our
readers both from the viewpoint
of interest in our boys who were
sent to Fort Benning and ac

i, js five weeks until the conven

anxious to get off as much of the
work as possible ahead of the time
when our convention will be in ses

not as vet remitted their dues, either
o the county, district or state secre
cy, to do so at once, so that the
itate secretary can get his records in
shape before leaving hotne for the
convention. We have already in hand
ore than 60 per cent of the mem-
rship fees, and there are three dis-
ricts vet which have not been re

ending in their dues, and let me urge

Eighth District
Report of this district convention
was carried in these news columns
recently, but the secretary reports
that the meeting was well planned,
well attended and enjoyed by all who
went. In fact they enjoyed the day so
well, that they voted to return next
year for their May 30 meeting. L. R
Winn, Waycross, was elected as
president, J. W. Timmerman, vice-
president, Stockton; J. E. Moore,

About nine thousand sons of Mrs.

reconditioning camp at Ft. Benning,
in tents spread out over several acres
near the quarters of the army .post.
They are young men, from 18 to 26
years old. selected because they were
physically fit, honestly unemployed,
and have someone else depending on
them for support.
Fond mothers are usually worried
about their boys, according to Lt. Col.
F. F. Jewett, commanding officer of
the reconditioning camp.
“I get letters every day from wives
and mothers who want to know about

large tents filled with long benches
and tables. Here the men can read
magazines sent out by kind well-
wishers of Columbus, or entertain
themselves as they please. The mag
azines may also be taken away to the
tents in a sort of circularizing li
brary; but there Is a pitiful scarcity
of them, and only a few of the men
get a charce to read. In one tent is a
radio donated by a Columbus music
company, usually surrounded by eager
listeners.
Special entertainments are furnish
ed every night, under the direction of
Capt. A. H. Cummings, who was de
tailed from the army post for this
work. Boxing and wrestling matches
play a large part in his program;
there are vaudeville shows twice a
week, and frequent band concerts by
the 29th Infantry band.

the program Monday night. Roy
Mitchell, of Jordan City, put

with W. C. Fields, minstrels and now
connected with the Columbus Little
Theatre; A1 Bartee, well known as a
novelty pianist, and a tap dancer,
Miss Shirley Gibson, of Phenlx City,
all did special numbers.
There are ball parks, too. and any
hour you will find crowds of eager
boys playing disorganized baseball.

army cook to the work camp. And the
food they cook is the kind that tastes
good to a man who has been doing
hard physical work all day—meat
loaf and potato salad, vegetables and
buttermilk.
“The only trouble about the food
is they give you too .much of it,” one
young recruit remarked. “I leave part
of my rations every meal. But some
of the boys, who hadn’t been used to
much lately it seemed, stuffed them
selves the first few days when they
were taking typhoid shots, and made
themselves sick.”
Every newcomer to the camp Is re

forestation, each company carries 1,-
200 trained men from the partt-
ment of agriculture, who supervise
the operations.
The camp at Ft. Benning, since it
was opened about a month ago, has
received around 10,750 applicants for
enlistment. Some 440 of these were
sent home for physical causes and
nearly 1,600 have been sent out to
their work camps. The camp has now
taken in its quota of men, and will
accept only replacements for those
sent out.

R. F. C. Funds for Roads
It was brought to the attention of
this department that funds whicii are
available for employment in the vari
ous counties through appropriations
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration can be applied to repairing
constructing and otherwise improving
the roads with the labor which is em
ployed with the funds furnished for
this purpose.
In sections where these funds are
being used and where there are road?
in communities wiiich are in need of
repairs, the local committee having
charge of this work has the right to
use the labor employed on such roads
and this is bringing to the attention
of any carriers to citizens who have
such roads to travel over and which
they cannot get repaired otherwise.
In various sections, this method of
repairing the roads with the labor
has been of great benefit, not only to
the rural carriers, but to all citizens
who have to'traverse these secondary
roads. If you have such roads, and
this fund is being used in your coun
ty, it would not be a bad idea to take
this matter up with the local com
mittee immediately, as the aid which
can be given on the roads at this
season of the year will be of material
benefit to all.

From his salary of $30 a month,
every man in the C. C. C. must send

those are accepted for enrollment
