Summer season by a number of tenn
porary rangers. The permanent
rangers are all men of the outdoors,
usually big, hroad-shouldered men of
the locality in which the park is To-
Gated and thoroughly familiar with
the topography of the country. Quiet,
forceful men they are, whose very
bearing inspires confidence as they
swing along in their forest-green uni
forms and sand-colored hats. Versed
in woodcraft, they must be resourceful
in any emergency, whether it be acct
dent, fire or sudden death; calm in the
face of danger; true lovers Of the
wild, and sometimes half-shy. half
tame, creatures Of nature that find
safe refuge in the park; capable of
handling crowds of inexperienced
travellers tactfully and explaining and
enforcing park regulations. Real men
these national park rangers must be

The mayor himself, in = commune

to the burning incident as closed

was not concerned with what books
are on the library shelves, but ssin
the fact that the library il being

troops in this area and render as
much service as possible to any
troops organized under its super

cities may get in touch with Fulton,
