NYA Camp at Big Pond Being Developed To Tie in with Broadened State Program Boys who are enrolled at the National Youth administration's resident work center at Big Pond find a unique example of earning and learning combined.

Located on the edge of Michaux state forest, the camp offers opportunity for the boys to earn their living with forestry and shop work and at the same time to receive schooling along vocational lines. The scheme of the work center is integration of work vocational training. Boys study for a week in classrooms and then work for a week in the forests or in the shops of the camp. The youths earn $30 a month, $20 of which they spend for maintenance cording to a cooperative living plan. The Big Pond, known as the Caledonia, center, is the largest centers in the state.

At the present time 160 boys between the ages of 18 and 25 are working at the camp. The Big Pond center is sponsorled jointly by State Game commission and the Department of Forest sand Waters. As sponsors, the Game commission and Department of Forests ande Waters have first demand on services of boys at the camp, but their work benefits many. other government agencies. The automobile shop repairs and overhauls cars, trucks and tractors for many different government agencies, the only quirement being that the machines be used in Pennsylvania.

The welding and machine shops do work needed at the camp and also serve other units of government. The woodworking shop is one of the most interesting of the shops to be found at the work center. There boys make all sorts of articles, varying from squirrel traps to tables and chairs. The game commission "ordered a number of traps for squirrels, raccoons and beavers, to be used in capturing animals for transplanting from parts of the state where they are abundant to districts where they are more scarce. Now being built in the shop are 50 tables and 200 chairs to be used in the dining room at the camp.

At the present time the boys eat from long tables with inherited from benchecattached, 1 which formerly occupied the buildings at Big Pond. A more refined atmosphere will be given to the dining room by the new equipment when it has been completed. The tables will seat four boys each and are intended to encourage better social relationships at meals. Scheduled for construction in the woodworking shop in the near future bird houses for the Game commission and rustic furniture for the Department of Forests and Waters. Outdoor work at the camp has included a variety of projects.

The buildings of the work center are kept in repair and some alterations have been made. The boys built the NYA museum at Caledonia park and will begin work on a water line for Caledonia swimming pool in the spring. They have built a number of trails through the forest for use by foresters and visitors. The teachers on the staff at Big Pond: specialize almost entirely in courses with vocational applica-1 tion. English is the only course taught which does not tie in directly with the work which the students do in the shops or about forest.

There is no given period. of enrolment, but each boy at Big Pond is permitted to work and learn until it is felt by the directors of the camp that he has mastered all that can be offered him there in the field of his preference. On leaving the Caledonia center, some boys go directly into private employment and others go to specialized vocational training camps. It is pointed out by officers at Big Pond that the training there is not intended to give boys complete preparation to enter. the occupation studied, but to give them contact with several vocations so that they may determine where their aptitude is greatest and have ficient background to make further training mo more effective.

Several vocational camps are now being established in Pennsylvania by the NYA. A camp specializing in machine shop work was opened recently at Williamsport and a training camp for airplane mechanics will be opened soon at Middletown. Boys who show abilmachine shop or automobile work at Big Pond will have the privilege of taking further training at one of the two special camps. The camp at Big Pond is open to public inspection daily between the hours of 9 and 5 o'clock. E.

A. Dougherty, commander of the work center, has announced that the staff of the camp is always glad to have visitors inspect the camp. It is recommended that visitors call on a week day rather than Saturday or Sunday, because the full program is not in operation over weekends.
