                                                DOLLAR A DAY BOYS!

      A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO THE CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS

                Michigan based author Bill Jamerson will present a music and storytelling program about the

Civilian Conservation Corps at the Northfield Senior Center on Friday, July 20, at 2:00 p.m..  The program is sponsored by the Northfield Public Library, cosponsored by the Northfield Senior Center and Northfield Historical Society, and is free and open to the public.

                The Civilian Conservation Corps was a federal works program created by President Franklin Roosevelt in the heart of the Great Depression.  During its nine year run from 1933 – 1942, 84,000 young men between the ages of 17 and 25 years enlisted from Minnesota.  The enrollees planted over 150 million trees, fought forest fires, planted millions of fish in rivers and lakes, built dams and bridges and constructed thousands of miles of county roads. 

                Bill will perform and tell stories of the CCC.  He has produced eleven PBS films on Michigan history.  For more information please call Joan at the library, at 645-1802, or visit Bill’s website at
