Part Of Subsidy
Checks Received

Subsidy checks have been re
ceived for 452 McCormick County

sold after September 9, 1937. If
cotton was sold on or before the
above date, the rate of payment
will be the difference between

Camp Modoc News ■
Camp Modoc, . Sept. 24.—Two
members of the forest service
personnel have moved their fami
lies nearer to the camp. Mr. C. F.
Rickenbacker, formerly of Camp
Bradley, moved to Parksville and
Mr. Maurice OUtzs, civil service
machine operator at Camp F-ll,
moved his family from McCormick
to Parksville. We are glad to have
these men and their families
near to camp and hope that they
wiU like their new homes.
Members of the- Army and
Forest Service Personnel enjoyed
a squirrel barbecue at Price’s Mill
Tuesday night. A good time was
reported by aU and a resolution
drafted to attend as many as
possible of these social affairs.
The shrieking of the sirene
Saturday night for a check up on
the fire crews impressed on us
that the faU fire season had be
gun. The extreme dry weather
has made the fire hazard acute,
and we are asking the public to
give us the same cooperation that
they have in the past in keeping
the forest fire hazard down to -he
minimum.
The camp has been re-wired
and street lights installed. The
improvement on the light system
gives us more and better lights, as
well as improving the appearance
of the camp at night.
Top-soiling of the Parksville
road is nearing completion in
spite of the dust. All of the con
crete culverts have been com
pleted on this road and it is r ' r -
