Camp Modoc News Camp Modoc, Sept. 25.—With a hazy and blurred effort this News Scribe will put forth his best to bring the news of the past up to the standard. When I say “hazy” I am referring to the blurred con dition of the camp buildings along the highway where the fleet of trucks is hauling soil preparatory to surface treating Highway No. 23. When one stands and looks at the dust cloud he thinks of but one thing, “Has SC F-ll been moved to the plains cf the Mid- West in the Dust Bowl, or are we still at old Modoc between the muddy Savannah and Stevens Creek?” Lieutenant Bush has returned to camp duties after a week of illness, being confined to his home in Greenwood. While away the duties of the camp have been placed en tirely upon the very efficient and tireless shoulders of Lieutenant Jordan our Junior Camp Officer. Monday night T. C. (Red) Murray ; || arrived in camp to take over the duties of Forest Service Camp Clerk. We welcome him to the camp and hops that his stay with us will be pleasant. We wonder how Superintendent Reece 'is in so many places at cne time and how he covers so much work and ground in a day. Hs seems to be everywhere at the same rime, always talking safety and fire as well as job work on the projects. Foreman Forrester, better known as “Blossom”, is soiling the Key Read. He has already soiled from Key Bridge Tower to within* sight of Red Hill, about 2 miles. He says he would like to have a rain to help set the cross section of this road. The young people have named this section of the road “Lovers Lane” We wonder why. Machine Operator McGee has the famous Key Bridge at Gundy Creek nearly completed being assisted by Mr. Shuler.
