CREDITED TO

A year-around program is car
ried on by the CCC in Alaska
under the direction of W. J. Mc
Donald, senior forester in charge
of' the Alaska fire control service.
This is indicated by the semi-an
nual report showing that a total
of 24,029 man-days were used
for many prospects throughout
the Territory. The period report
ed is from July 1. 1941. through
December 31, 1941.
Peak employment of CCC
crews reached 456 during Octo
ber, 1941, in the 46 camps oper
ated in the Territory. Camps
ranged from Wainwright on the
north, to Alitak (Kodiak Island)
on the south, to Eagle on the
eastern border, and to the West
ward on the Kuskokwim and
Yukon Rivers.
Improvement of sanitary condi
tions in and around native vil
lages, buiding and maintenance
and constructing buildings, co
operation with Reindeer Service,
building and maintaining trails,
and brush work, constituted a
major portion of the projects
during the first six months of
the fiscal year.
Six new build ngs were con
structed, most of which were
shelter cabins for trappers, and
maintenance work was continued
on 17 others, mostly Office of
Indian Affairs and school build
ings. A total of 6.983 man-days
w' re thus expended. A man-day
is the time one man would work
during an eight-hour day.
In cooperation with the rein
deer herding, 156 rods -of fence
were built for reindeer corrals,
in addition to 1!H) man-days em
ployed for reindeer feeding.
Fourteen miles of telephone
line were maintained on the Rich
ardson Highway. Three winter
airplane landing fields were, and
still are, maintained on the Kus
kokwim River for landing dur
ing the winter months.
Fifteen miles of foot trails
were maintained, in addition to
five miles of new trails con
structed. These trails are built
between portages, to wood lots
from villages, and between win-1
ter landing fields and villages.'
Six miles of truck trails were cut i
out.
Among the village sanitation
measures was the laying of a sew
age system in a native village,
digging of several community
wells, maintenance of a native vil
lage reservoir, digging of sever
al hundred feet of ditches to
drain stagnate pools and mos
quito swamps, in addition to
brush clearing around villages.
In several locations, rip-rap
was installed to prevent the river
from cutting into the bank at
village locations. In villages,
6,200 feet of new board walks'
were built.
Nine miles of roadside along I
the1 Richardson Highway was
cleared to eliminate fire hazards
as well as daylighting curves at
dangerous locations.
Another crew also worked
with Dr. F. G. Rainey, of the
University of Alaska, on an ar
chaelogical expedition.
At the present time there are
approximately 200 natives em
ployed by the CCC. During the
trapping seasons, the enrolment
always decreases since the men
go trapping and are encouraged
to follow their natural occupa
tion by the CCC.
