Enrollment In
CCC Camps Set
For 29th May
WHITE YOUTHS BETWEEN 17
AND 23H YEARS ELIGIBLE
TO ENROLL. ADVANTAGES OF
SERVICE POINTED OUT
The Georgia CCC Selection Ser
vice announces an enrollment for
all eligible junior white boys to be
held May 29th. All Georgia youths
between the age of 17 and 23 Ms
in need of employment have been
out of camp three months or longer,
and who have not served in the CCC
for over 18 months are urged to
see their local county welfare direc
tor in their respective counties and
file their application for enrollment
in the CCC.
Charles A. Coffin, supervisor of
CCC selection, explains the advan
tages of enrollment in the CCC, as
follows:
This summer, thousands of high
school boys will graduate all over
the state to find that they will be
unable to attend college or imme
diately secure a position in indus
try. To these youths, the CCC of
fers invaluable training in many
fields of industry such as mechanics,
radio, construction work, woodcraft,
and office management. Industry
today, is begging for men skilled in
such vocations. The CCC serves a
purpose that most of the high schools
cannot, that is, training and experi
ence in practical fields of industry.
To boys from families of mod
erate or well to do circumstances,
whose parents are not in need of
the monthly allotment checks, the
CCC will deposit this money to their
personal account, leaving it until
the end of their enrollment. At
the end of the two year maximum
enrollment the CCC graduate will
find that he has a tidy sum of
$528.00 in which he may start in
business for himself or use in any
manner he sees fit.
Plenty of food, healthy outdoor
sunshine, and work, insure a good
sound body as well as a trained
mind. No youth who has not had
the opportunity to live in the open
with two hundred boys like himself,
can realize the feeling of clean
companionship, that quickly over
comes the new enrollee as he works
and plays each day with his fellow
men.

to Christ a person must have in his
life evidences of the genuineness
of his claims.
Gratifyingly large congregations,

Census Shows
Increase In
People Over 65
TOTAL OF 8,956.206 NOW OVER
65 YEARS OF AGE IN NATION,
AN INCREASE OF 35 PERCENT
IN TEN YEARS
Those concerned with public as
sistance and old age pensions will
find much of interest in a prelimi
nary census report for 1940 showing
there are in the United States a total
of 8,956,206 persons 65 years of
age and over. This is 6.8 per cent
of the total population.
In 1930 the 65-year-old group
numbered 6,633,805, or 5.4 percent
of the total population. There was
an increase in the 10-year period
of 2,322,401 persons, or 35 percent.
The figures for Georgia show
there are 159,639 persons over 65,
or 5.1 percent of the total popula
tion. Of that number 76,974 are
males and 82,665 are females.
In 1930 Georgia had 113,278
persons 65 years old, or 3.9 percent
of the population. The increase in
the 10-year period was 40.9 percent.
In releasing the figures the cen
sus bureau had this comment: “A
preliminary analysis of the 1940
age returns suggests that the num
ber of persons 65 years of age and
over is somewhat in excess of the
number that would be expected to
survive from the age group 55 and
over in 1930. Whether this means
there was a tendency for persons to
report their correct ages in 1930
and overstate them in 1940, or to
report their correct ages in 1940
and understate them in 1930, or
both to understate in 1930 and over
state in 1940, is difficult to say.
In any event there is no question
that the number of persons in this
age-group increased much more
rapidly between 1930 and 1940 than
did the total population.”
DODDER IN LESPEDEZA
About the only practical way to
control dodder is to graze the les
pedeza and dodder close before the
dodder prouces seed. Then allow
the lespedeza to come agin. Dodder,
like lespedeza, is good grazing but
it is not good for the lespedeza since
it is a parasite. In small spots or
amounts, dodder may be removed
by cutting or burning out the in
fested areas, says E. D. Alexander,
Extension agronomist
An important factor about fruit
to be canned is that it should be
tree ripened.
