"Conservation Corps to Start Leaving the Barracks Today. Dance Last Night Intended as Farewell for Boys".--Transfers are being designated for members of the Sidney CCC camp, which is to be evacuated on September 30. Officers Lieut. Donald Buck and G. L. Dobling have been commissioned to Eldora and Fairfield, respectively. Notification had not been received by the other members of the personnel, Lieutenant Buck said yesterday. Camp boys will be distributed among the nearest posts, 20 to go to Moorehead, 13 to Missouri Valley, 27 to Red Oak, 20 to Shenandoah. Remainder of the recruits will be eliminated through a recent two-year ruling. Lieutenant Buck had no information in regard to disposition of the camp buildings. A custodian has been appointed to take charge of the buildings temporarily. A farewell dance was staged by the local camp members last night at Legion hall.
