twenty-first but not fortieth birthday
on the date of the examination.
Law requires that rangers shall be
selected when practicable. from
among qualified citizens of a state
or territory in which the forest is
situated. Preference in certification
is therefore given to residents of a
state or states in filling vacancies
in a forest situated therein. No parti-
cular period of residence is required,
but 1t must be bona fide, as shown
by statements in the application for
examination. Applicants will not be
required to be examined in the state
in which they reside nor to have
been actually domiciled in such state
for one year previous to the date of
the examination.
The rangers position is we'll worth
looking into, for any young fellow
who has his own way to make. The
work constitutes q valuable training
in many lines of activity Much OF the
experience Is of value for men who
expect eventually to go into business
