Camp No. 6 of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Davenport will be moved to McClure the latter part of October. The McClure Camp is four miles west of Deposit. Gypsy moth work will occupy the foresters during their stay there. Plans for the construction of barracks at Camp 30 in Gilbert Lake State Park have been received. It is expected that the contract will be let, rather than employing the members of the company in the work. Gilbert Lake Camp is one of the few in this section which will remain during the winter. The barracks is planned to house the men during the winter and replace the tents now in use. Orders have been received at Camp 30 from the recreation officer of the district for the establishment of schools during the winter. The orders specify that whatever subject necessary for the aid of the men will be taught. Contracts are now being made with local educators to secure authority to have local teachers give instruction. Of the 160 men at Camp 30, about 130 have indicated their desire to re-enroll.
