* C TURKISH FIF In a new pac At a price ti The same un TURKISH. VIRC PROTECTING THE NATION CAI By OTTO L. We have all seen movies of the great Northland where the hero mush es his way, with his faithful dog team, through innumerable obstacles. We have perhaps all placed ourselves in this hero's role, which means we all have the love of the great out doors in our blood. This is particular ly true of the younger generation. Be fore the mind has matured, every young American boy cherishes an in ner desire to become a cowboy, yes perhaps a brave bandit, a detective or other oflicer of the law, or a prodigal son in our large mysterious forests. In connection with this ambtion to become a forester he includes meeting the strange creatures of the wilder ness and carrying large packs on his back, fighting forest tires, camping, trapping, hunting, canoeing and in general enjoying the free life of an outdoor man. It is only natural that the average boy should have these ambitions. It is the manhood in our boys coming to the front. It takes men to do these things and every one of them secretly wants to prove EXPECTA Preard fr) DO YOU know tht ou ha Peosrte this fcfact: AsD urnea youn rundbth of one t 'ecatrnt hr.

Better to wait until their minds are matured before the parents allow them to choose their profession Then, with a broader view of lire they may want to study law, meldi cine, or if they still cherish some child hood plan for life, let them go ahead with it. Good foresters are not born, they are made. Forestry is the right pro fession for the right man. To qualify as a forester, with intentions of mak ing forestry a profession, a man must first "hav. it in him." Next, the teehical side, requiring a university education, must he ac quired. A man surviving these first and fundamental ordeals has yet to add experience to his list before he is a qualified forester. The experience should last about three years, most of this time to be spent in the forests referred to as the "field."

Thew technical sIde of for-estry, as prueviously mlenltioneId, is taught in the study, a graduate is given the title of "Bachelor of Science in Forestry." The course exnlains the scientific side of this work, the study of plant and tree growth, insects and tree disease geology of soils, chemistry of natural substances, nature studies, general instruction in woodcraft, - cruising, surveying and numerous other sul iects which dovetail into a forester a life. Of course, there are branches of forestry work that do not require a university education, but a person who intends to adopt forestry as a profession, should not neglect the technical side. Forest Service organi zations also employ men stationed in the field who are known as rangers, patrolmen (forest guards) and also men used in such general forestry work as planting trees and fighting fires. To this list we must also add timber markers, lumberjacks, cruis ers, scalers and timber surveyors and appraisers. The Boy Scout creed is followed in picking men for ranger positions. To qualify for this work a man must be "physically strong, mentally awake and morally clean." Last, but not least he must be a worker and have a pleasing personality, so as to create a favorable impression on the peonle with whom he comes in contact. We have found that public sentiment and co-operation are the greatest tools we have in protecting our forests. It is, therefore, highly desirable that the forester create a feeling of good fel lowship toward the organization Rangers are generally appointed as a promotion from patrolmen. A patrol man has the advantage of under studying the rangers' duties and at the same time obtaining actual ex perience. lie is, therefore, capable of filling any vacancies that may oc cur. Some universities offer a four months' course to fit men for ranger positions, but if a man has the other qualifications for this work, an ordin ary education is all that is necessary. Here are some of the duties which a ranger is required to perform: He must take the proper precautions to prevent forest fires and extinguish them when they have started; act as the hand of the law when occasion reuires; when ordered, he must make surveys of land, mark and scale tim ber, classify various types of soils and appraise large stands of timber; he must coo-perate with all commun ity organizations and procure their good will; he must keep a general lookout throughout his district for fire traps, including slash left by lumber companies, and dispose of these. Complete reports must be sent, from time to time, to headquar ters keeping those in charge posted on his activities. ie must post signs of warning throughout his territory. In general he must know every per son in his. district so well that, in case of a large conflagration, he can pro cure the nebessary help to extinguish it immediately. Here is a bit of verse that is more truth than poetry: Recipe for a Ranger First, get a big kettle and a fire that is hot, And when everyt}ing's ready, throw into the pot, Adoctor, a miner, of lawyers a few, Add one sheep herder and a cowboy or two. Next add a surveyor, and right after that, A man with some sense and a good diplomat; At least one stone mason, then give it a stir, And add to the mess one good carpen ter. A man who knows trees, and don't leave from the list A telephone man and a fair botanist. The next one that's added must be, that's a cinch, The man who will stay when it comes to a pinch. Add a man that will wvork and not standl atnd roar, WVho cnn do ten thousand things and theni just a few more. Now boil it up wel land skim cofi' the And a Rlanger' you'll find is the resi dum. O)f course'5, the duties of a ranger vary ac'cordling to the territory in which he' is located, hut, summinig it up, he is the one man who mtust be a master ot his cra ft, and a "'jack-of alIl-tradles."'
