First Recruits in Forestry Conservation Army Enter Conditioning Camps
Charter members of the forestry conservation corps began army conditioning camps as the first step in a mobilization to enroll one man per 500 people. Baltimore led with recruits selected by welfare agencies under the labor department, with Philadelphia and Washington to follow. The plan aims for 25,000 men in 17 cities to be in camps by Saturday night, two weeks before forest work begins. Park Service projects need over 60,000 man months of labor across larger forests in all 48 states, while Forest Service programs may exceed 1,000,000 man months. Invitations were sent to Italy, Germany, Japan, China, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile for a trade conference.
