BIG-FOREST AREAS BEING DEVELOPED
1,600,000 EMPLOYED IN
CONSERVATION WORK
CCC Has Concentrated On
Preservation of Nation’s
Farm and Woodlands
The third anniversary of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, April 5, was marked
by a report showing the work accom
plished by the 1,600,000 persons it has
employed. Outstanding features ‘were
the planting of 558,000,000 trees; 1,963,
500 soil erosion dams built; 69,000 miles
of roads and trails cut through forests.
Ixplaining that CCC concentrated on im
proving and preserving the nation’s for
ests, the report speaks volumes to for
esters, conservationists and to millions
of citizens interested in preserving, ex
panding and developing the timbered
areas that still remain in this country,
despite the wasteful and extravagant
misuse of our forest resources in the
past.
Up to March 1, the cost was $1,204,-
506,000, including $33,325,000 for pur
chase of *forest lands. Of $356,638,000
paid to members, $260,000,000 was sent
home to their needy families. In addi
tion, $615,000,000 was spent for mater
ials and equipment, including $63,583,-
000 for shelter, $149,779,000 for food
and $140,965,000 for clothing., The aver
age CCC recruit was enrolled for eight
months,
Of the last 289,000 enlistments, 17,219
were 17 years of age; 94,492 were 18
vears and 50,978 were 19 years. These
figures in sharp contrast to those of
former years, when the average age
ranged from 22 years up to 30, show
that graduates are being absorbed into
private employment. -Recent statistics re
vealed that the training the government
has given CCC members enabled them to
find jobs at the rate of 10,000 a month
and even more. :

talking about a “balanced budget.”
The question I'm askin’ is: Was it ever
balanced ” .
Before Italy moved into Ethiopia
great writers of the world solemnly told
us that the army would have to battle
not only poisoned wells, but real honest
to-goodness lions. About the only ‘lions”
Mussolini’s forces seem to be worried
about, to date, are the “lines of com
munication.”

REAL ESTATE BONDS
REACH TOWARD TOP
Highest Since 1934 Low,
Recently Compiled Sta
tistics Show
Statistics for March compiled by Ar
nold, Baker & Co., of New York show
that the steady upward eclimb in real
estate bond prices which started in 1933
is continuing at an increased ratio. The
gain for the month in average prices,
based on the market action of 200 typi
cal issues was 1.2 per cent. The gain
during February was 0.8 per cent.; for
the first quarter 5 per cent. Average
prices, which were at $2lB per SI,OOO
face value late in 1933, reached the
average of S4OB for the month of March.
The gain applied to all classifieations.
WPA WORKERS LOSE
JOBS IN THE COUNTY
Those Who Refuse New As
signments Will Be Cut
From Federal Payrolls
WPA workers who have not reported
to PWA jobs after being notified to do
so, have been released, it was stated here
today by Government officials in charge
of the placement work.
According to a recent Government rul
ing, no person now employed on a PWA
project may return to the job after he
once is notified to report on a PWA pro
ject. In several instances, the worker
has objected to his transfer and failed
to comply with the order. As.-a result
the worker not only loses his original
job but the new assignment as well.
The purpose of the -transfers, it is
said, is to take the men off the Govern
ment payrolls and place them on the pay
rolls of the contractor. No replacements
are being made on the WPA jobs, and
this ruling alone is rapidly diminishing
the load ecarried by the Government.
