Salt River Indians Join Marines in Recreation Area Project
Dick Bracke, juvenile officer for the Salt River Agency, leads a Junior Marines group of 6 youths on a long term plan with the Ninth Engineer Company to develop a Red Mountain Recreation Area at the Verde and Salt Rivers confluence. Projects include building 450 picnic tables and fireplaces, underground containers, fountains, and an overnight camp, plus a seven mile scenic drive. The effort, sanctioned by the Pima Maricopa tribal council, seeks to provide wholesome activity and keep youths out of trouble with donations sought for materials and funds.
