Former Hobos Now Frequent
First 'Mobile Transient Car,
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla., July
24. -P)-Two hundred wanderers,
who once frequented hobo "jungles"
and rode freight trains from coast to
coast, are learning on the shores of a)
lake near here what it means to "stay
put."
Ranging in age from 18 to 70, they
were chosen from thousands of their
kind to populate the nation's first
mobile transient camp. Like pioneers,
they cleared a dwelling place in virgin
forest, and now their axes are carv-
ing an 87-acre emergency landing
field for airplanes.
Lave In Tents
Along the lake shore - a mass of
trees and underbrush three months
ago -stretches an orderly row of
tents, each housing eight men. They
are screened and constructed for
speedy dismantling. Carl Bliss,'as-
sistant director, estimates the camp
could be loaded on trucks for removal
to another location within two hours.
Even with all the changes in the
andscape, the changes in the men
are considered more impressive. Di-
rectors say they are wholesomely dif-
ferent from the underfed ramblers
who dropped in at an FERA tran-
sient bureau for a meal and night's
lodging - but enlisted for long so-
journs in the mobile camp.
May Re-Enlist
They work five hours a day and
abide by a few rules - and in ex-
change they are assured of three
meals a day, a clean bed, medical
care and a little money.
Each man draws $1 every Satur-
day, and at the end of a six-week en-
listment he gets a $12 bonus.
Each has an opportunity to re-
enlist time after time. Henry Red-
key, state director of transient ser-
vice, says 90 per cent re-enlist. Eight
per cent go home or find employment
elsewhere, he figures, and the other 2
