The answer I find at http://www.stevemorse.org/census/faq2030.htm. What are the CCC Camps that you show on the 1940 utility? During the Great Depression the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was started to provide gainful employment for millions of Americans and a way to increase habitat rehabilitation throughout the United States. The 1940 Census gave separate ED numbers, within their County prefixes, to the CCC camps. It appears that the camps were distributed throughout the United States and may have had in excess of 300,000 individuals. These CCC EDs are unique to the 1940 Census, and apparently have no corresponding 1930 ED numbers. To make this conversion utility work, we had to assign them an arbitrary ED number in 1930. So we chose 0-0. (In some cases the 1940 CCC EDs did show a corresponding 1930 ED number, but we ignored that information in our transcriptions since it had no meaning.) In transcribing CCC camp locations, we found a number that showed no population on the definitions film. The camp could have been closed, but in that case the ED could have been shown as "Void". A possible explanation for this is in the 1940 Enumerator's Handbook where paragraph 327 states that CCC enrollees be counted "at their usual place of residence, and not at the camp in which enrolled, unless they have no other usual place of residence" while employees other than enrollees in a CCC camp would be counted if they slept at the camp. Thus it's possible that enrollees could be double counted on the 1940 census, or not counted at all because of this determination by the enumerator. Over 1300 CCC camps are contained in our tables. But the actual name of the camp was not transcribed for any of them, just the generic name of CCC. See the following for further information about this very popular program. http://www.ccclegacy.org/ -----Original Message----- From: William G.

Just for further reference, it was my ather that took me into the Museum (the first building erected - log style - nd was used as the dormatory) in mid state Florida (Highlands Hammock State ark) and explained many of the things that he knew about. He would have much referred to be able to work in HHSP but they would not let him. As another esponder to on this, this was the Government's way of "Controlling the ituation".

The men were taken to where there was work to be done. They were paid to work and the CC Camps were where they lived while working. Not every one could get work close to home. It was World War II that got this country out of the Great Depresion. Cassie ----- Original Message ----- From: "William G.

My father wound up over 600 miles from home, central North Carolina from South Central Florida, and there was a camp just fifteen miles of our house. In the Museum to the CCC now part of that site the above was postulated but there was no reasoning for that rule. I never did find out why the government would spend all that money on transportation except it benefited mostly the RailRoad as their main transportation source.
