The Storv
Of The CCC
For several years there has
been ne:d for a book that would
give a vivid word picture of the
amazing organization known as
the CCC. an organization which
has accomplished so much in Al
aska. Now we have such a book,
written by the man* who knows
the subject best, the Director of
the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Jamas J. McEntee. The book is
entitled “Now They Are Men.’’
It is both a fascinating and a
source book of information about
the chain of 1,590 camps that dot
every State and Territory. It is of
■equal interest to the youth who
thinks he may wish to become a
CCC enrollPe, to the business
man who may want to employ
some youths who have had CCC
experience, to the student of pub
lie affairs and to the general
public.
An important contribution of
the CCC. particularly noteworthy
at this time whtn the attention
of tho nation is concentrated on
national defense, is the improve
ment in the health of the more
than 2,000,000 men who have
served in the Corps. A chapter
describes the hardening, the mus
cular development and the im
provement in condition of a CCC
enrollee during his stay in camp.
“One quarter of all the boys
who are enrolled in the CCC,’’
writes McEntee, “are below the
minimum acceptable weights for
the Army, Nearly three-quarters
cf all CCC boys are, at the timfe
they are accepted, below' the
‘standard weights,’ that is, the
w .ghts which the Army regards
as desirable. In a large number
of cases this situation is due to
pr longed undernourishment. Af
ter these youths have spent a
year in a CCC camp, it is an en
tirely different story. Win n they
le: ve the Corps to go home, only
four percent of them—only one
b y in 25—is below' the minimum
a otable weights of the Army’s
S (eon Gen r: 1. who looks aftei
the health of CCC boys.
The book aLso contains a re
am e of the first days of the CCC.
t reason for its organization, de
1i of the Corps administration,
life in camp, education and train
i < of enrollees and inter.sting
elm tors on results of the CCC
program, and its future useful
mess.
E uoty has developed a num
ber of permanent institutions
which hlep to build up its resist
anci against the inroads of war
and depression such as the school
the church, the welfare organ
ization and others. There is now
a new institution, only seven
years old, which in this brief
period of time has earned th
right to be added to this family
of permanent American institu
tions which build up the strength
and vigor of society. It is the
Civilian Conservation Corps.

Greetings CCC
WASHINGTON — The 300,000
I enrollees of the Civilian Conser
! vation Corps were hailed by
President Roosevelt in a mes
j sage as "pioneers in the build
! ing of a new order for American
| youth and for thie conservation
| of our priceless national resourc
es." Through General G. C. Mar
shall the members of the corps re
ceived “most sincere greetings
from theri military compatriots
of thj Army of the United Stat
es.” They were reminded by
their director, J. J'. McEntee,
that its training and health pro
1 grams had turned back into Am
erican life more than 2,000,000
j young men better fitted, mental
ly, manually and physically, to
cope with present-day problems.
President Roosevelt wrote:
“It is with a sense of deep
gratitude that the nation looks
back upon the fine results that
havu stemmed from the Civilian
Conservation Corps program.
“You who are now in the corps
and the more than two million
others who have lived and work
ed in the outdoor camps as en
rollees have been pioneers in the
building of a nr-w order for Am
erican youth and for the conser
vation of our priceless national
resources. You have strengthen
ed the nation and improved your
usefulness to your country and
to yourselves.”

Alaskan Soldiers Problems
(Anchorage Times)
"This is sure going to be an
Army town.”
That was the remark of a cor
poral yesterday wh n he read
‘hat about 1,000 more infantry
men are to arrive at Fort Richard
son within the next few weeks.
"Yes, it is,” we responded,
"What would be your advice to
the town? What should the town
Jo about it?”
Th soldier didn’t hesitate.
"I cou'd tell you but you would
vt believe it,’ he said. “The town
should see that more recreation
facilities are available. I mean
good, wholesome places where a
soldier can go without always
being in danger of getting into
trouble.”
Anchorage takes pride in its
position as the most modern city
-n Alaska, has developed her
Dusiness>-s, recreational and spir
itual facilities to meet her needs
over a period of more than two
decades. Now that the army has
selected the city for the site of
its most pow rful northern de
fense post, the city must be “re
vamped" to meet the new needs.
It is certain that any legitimate
business that is economicaTy
ound can and will bo provided
re. But the need must be ap
parent before - proper develop
nent can come. What better way
is there than to hear the requests
f the men for vyhom they will
designed?

President Roosevelt and Sec
retary of State Hull were a.sked
to arrange some means by which
the 1.700 Americans still in Eng
land could return soon to the
United States.
Lewis Israels, pn sident of the
newly formed Committee for
stranded Americans in Britain,
which held a demonstration re
cently in New York City, said:,
“We have no hatred or complaint
but we want the Americans
strand' d in Britain to be brought
heme. We want the repatriation
of our sons.”
Fr. Israe's, a public account
ant said that the 1,700 Americans
could not get passage on the Man
hattan when that ship made its
last European voyage, although ,
some were students who had stay
ed on in Britain to n ceive de
grees from various English and
Scottish universities.
My son is in England and can't
get home," Bernard Friedman, a
member of the committee, re
matked “but journalists, diplo
mats and business men travel
around Euurop as they like. If
my son could get to Lisbon he'd
be all right.”
Thirty-two individual tele
grams were sent to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull.
