last week end
the Bartlett CCC. Camp. These
offcials were petitioned to do all
in their power to retain the camp
here Earlier telepgrams were
sent by the Fartlett Chamber of
Commerce. T f
Heplies h'ave been ' made by
most of the Congressmen stat-
ing that they will put forth
every effort to keep the camp
located here. '
The Bartlett Chamber of Com-
merce had reasons to believe at
the' time that the camp might be
one of the 300 to tie disbanded
Marth 31 and every effort has
been" made to prove that farms-
ers cf thiVcommunity need and
want the soil cbnservation ser-i
vice provided by Camp 3805.
Present indications are that
the camp may remain until the
end of the fiscal year which
comes in June. The future is
uncertain after that.
