80 BOY SCOUTS LEAVE
ON 10-DAY WORK TRIP
Eighty Boy Scouts left
Amache Thursday, morning
for a ten-day stay at Man-
cos, Colo., in a combined
vacation and work trip.
Mancos, which is near the
Mesa Verde National Park,
is about 450 miles from
here.
The boys,ranging in age
from 12 to 19, will help
dismantle an old CCC camp
30 miles west of Durango.
The buildings there were
recently acquired by the
WRA,and they will be taken
apart section by section
and brought back to Amache
to be re-assembled for use
in the center.
Says Project Director
James G. Lindley, "The Boy
Scouts will be of valuable
assistance to us in the
work at the CCC camp. They
will work in teams and will
have thorough guidance and
training to avoid acci-
dents. The boys are anx-
ious to do their bit in
supplying needed manpower,
and we hope they also will
find time for some relaxa-
tion in the mountain area
near the camp. They have
worked hard all year...and
we know they will earn
their leisure hours."
The Scouts were accom-
panied by Scout Commissioner
Edward Tokunaga,and Torazo
Ogata, Roy Uragami, Keiki-
chi Fukuyama,George Hashi-
moto, Chokichi Sakaguchi,
Tomijiro Koike, and George
Matsuura, who will act as
directors to the boys. Dr.
Tadashi Fujimoto of the
hospital staff went to
look after the boys' health.
No wages will be paid
the boys for their work,
the opportunity for a camp-
ing trip being their pay.
C. H. Shrader, motor-
pool supervisor, will be
in charge of the camp. Mr.
and Mrs. G. V. Griffith of
the education section also
accompanied the boys.
CORN DONATED BY
AMACHE'S FFA
Amache high school's
Future Farmers of America
donated 6,400 ears of corn
--enough for one ear to each
resident--and distributed
them to the 29 mess halls
Friday, according to Tom
Kashiwagi and Zake Wada,
members of the FFA.
