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.
