The “Fire Bug” struck again
Wednesday afternoon when a six-
acre fire burned only a short dis
tance from National Forest land.
The fire was handled by Assistant
to Technician M. E. Nixon. It was
extinguished in a comparatively
short time but the person who
started it could have prevented a
fire with only the smallest fraction
of the time that was spent sup
pressing it. The number of false
alarms have increased four fold
during the last ten-day period. The
camp feels the effect of this while
men are in camp and on the job
as these men are held ready to be
thrown on a fire at all times. All
construction crews are placed where
they will be of greatest benefit
in fire protection and whenever
possible each crew is connected
with camp by telephone.
Visitors in camp Sunday after
noon were Mr. and Mrs. Cantelou
and Mrs. W. D. Allen from Edge-
field. These visitors had supper with
Superintendent Allen and Foreman
G. E. Cantelou.
Lieutenant Sheen is to be com
plimented on his excellent collec
tion of snap shots of work proj
ects and camp activities. Lieuten
ant Sheen conducts a class in pho
tography at the camp and will ex
hibit seme of the work of the class
at the Greenwood Fair.
Letters from Corps Area head
quarters advised officers and For
est Service personnel to do all that
they can to make homesick recruits
contented. This should be easy
in the case of the men that are
homesick for the farm as Camp
Bradley is now the proud possessor
of 50 white leghorn chickens,
a bunch of pigs, 3 o’pos-
sums and a garden that
is producing a bountiful crop
