Furnas County CCC Camp

Body
According to Christine Weaver, the CCC Camp at Beaver City brought over 200 young men together to work the radius of about 15 miles of Beaver City. The camp was located just north of the old high school on what is now the fair grounds. The camp consisted of five barracks for the enlisted men. There was a recreation hall, bath house, hospital, mess hall, kitchen, head quarters building, foreman's quarters, officers quarters building, a garage, and a technical service building. There were also two army trucks and an ambulance. The Soil Conservation Service also furnished 15 to 20 trucks. One of those buildings was later moved into town and served as the American Legion for a number of years. The building was sold and used for a house for a short time and then in 1981 became the Friendship Center Church.

Take a moment to breathe

Body
The act of breathing is essential to life and can be done with or without thinking about it. You can control your breath and vary it, but eventually air must come in, and air must go out. The breath of life and breathing exercises are an important aspect of many religions. In the book of Genesis, when God created man, he formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Several Eastern religions use controlled breathing in meditation and prayer, helping in the processes of consciousness, mindfulness, and visualization.
