McEntree, director of the Civilian Conservation Corps, today announced that beginning January 1; the sum of seven dollars will be set aside each month from the earnings of each CCC enrolled with dependents and placed in a special deposit fund to be held for him until his discharge.
"Under the plan an enroller spending a six-month enrollment period in the corps, will upon discharge, have $42 with which to buy clothing and other necessities while he searches for a self-supporting job."
