Use of Reception Room for Information Purposes : The 
reception room of the CCC selecting agency (which usually handles 
other welfare activities) is frequently an excellent place in which 
to provide information on the Civilian Conservation Corps to persons 
who come to the local office. Not only is it a place where prospec¬ 
tive applicants may see pictures and obtain information about the 
CCC program of work and training, but it may also be the means whereby 
the parents and even the neighbors of prospective applicants learn 
about the Corps. (Further reference to the desirability of making 
good use of the reception room is contained in the chapter on "The 
Application.") 
Working Relationships with Employment Offices : Use of the 
Junior Placement Service of the local Employment Office is, when 
available, a helpful means of spreading information and of securing 
desirable applications. Close cooperation between selecting agents 
and Employment Service representatives may frequently be very effec¬ 
tive. It is particularly helpful, for example, as CCC enrollees 
return to their home communities after leaving the Corps. (See 
Chapter XIII.) 
Most of the above methods may be adapted by selecting agents 
in providing advance information to inquiring applicants and members 
of their families. Officials of nearby camps, besides being glad to 
receive visitors, are always glad to furnish 'information about their 
camps and the particular work projects on which they are engaged.
