Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, Jan. 16.—All per sons interested in Camp Bradley were glad to hear from Captain Givens Wednesday night that Camp Bradley was holding a one point lead in the race for the Blue Pennant which is being awarded the best camp in the Sub-District. However, there is one more inspec tion to be made before the award is given and our lead is very small. Camp Selleck at Abbeville won the are requested to apply at the U. S. pennant in the last inspection with Army Recruiting Station, U. S. a very small lead over Camp Brad- Court House Building, Columbia, ley, but it is hoped that the next S. C. 4 Inspection will see the new pennant coming to our camp. The inspec tions on which this pennant is awarded are made on the general appearance of the camp and grounds, barracks, mess hall, and the cleanliness and orderliness of the entire camp but does not in clude the work projects which are under the direct supervision of the Forest Service. The Safety meeting held last Monday night was especially in teresting due to the presence of Captain White, Sub-District In spector, who commented briefly on che safety and general welfare of the enrollees, and Mr. George A. Gerhart, of the Forest Service. Mr. Gerhart has been connected with the Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico for the past eight and a half years and has recently been transferred to the South Carolina and Croatan National Forests as a Supervisor’s Staff Assistant. He made a talk concerning the general conditions of the Caribbean Na tional Forest and compared the CCC camps there with the camps here in the states. It appears that to be enrolled in a camp in Puerto Rico a man must be married and supporting a family. Pay is made on the basis of $1.00 a day less .25c a day for meals and it is in this payment of the enrollees that the Army exercises its only control over the camps. When Mr. Gerhart re ferred to the fact that due to the very moist climate in Puerto Rico there are no forest fires, everyone present began to inquire as to the possibilities of getting transferred to the Caribbean National Forest. We were all very glad to see the new medical inspector arrive in camp last Thursday for he turned out to be none other than our own Dr. Jimmy Rogers. Dr. Rogers was camp surgeon here for two years and left last November for procure ment duty. Recently he has been promoted to the position of Sub- District Medical Inspector. Fifteen new men arrived in camp last Saturday night and were kept busy Sunday carrying heavy water gauges, sky hooks, bugle oil and as many other non-existent articles as the old enrollees could imagine. At the next enrollment these same men will have the pleasure of send ing the rew men on the same kind of errands. The outward appearance of Camp Bradley is going to be great ly changed and improved when the present work of beautification is completed. The buildings are being painted a dark green with white trimming and it is expected that this change will add greatly to the appearance as well as the life of the buildings. Some crushed rock from our own rock crusher has been put on the walks and drives and the entire camp grounds are being trimmed with a new set of short stakes painted green and white to harmonize with the build ings. Mr. k. L. Martin and his crew who have been maintaining the Forest Service roads over the entire Long Cane District are being trans ferred to the Modoc Side Camp to devote their time to the roads in the lower portion of the District and to act as the fire suppression crew in that section. To take care of the thirty odd miles of road be ing maintained by the Forest Ser vice in the upper end of the Dis trict a ten-man maintenance crew was recently organized at Camp Bradley. x Sgt.
