UNEMPLOYED CAMPS
NOT ALL DISSATISFIED. A local resident has received two very grateful letters from unemployed men who have been drafted to the State Forest Service camp on the Kalngaroa Plains: The first writer says:—“We have settled down to camp life and work. I can assure you the accommodation could not be better. The tents are brand new on frames and all have wooden floors with a big open fireplace. The work is not hard. We walk many miles. The hardest thing we have to contend with is, of course, the climate. It is bitterly cold. Being away from home I consider a hardship, but of course it is not for long so will try and hold the heart strings until the woi<k is through.” The other writer says:—“Comfortable tents and plenty of food make camp life bearable and as we get up before dawn, with a thick white fiost on the ground, we bless you for the warm flannel and socks.”
