THRU FOREST AISLES


 The men of the forestry service constantly cut ting and building trails There is reason When in case of fire it becomes imperative to travel from one place to another with and freflghtlng tools and apparatus a trail comes in handy.

 Wherever possible it directs it's trail work to re gons of beauty sylvan settings to lands where pos sble mineral wealth ies to remote spots where the trapper may possibly his valued trophy It is in deed fortunate that all these things dovetail to- geher. There is nothing auring than trail thru forest One who cannot find surcease of sorrow there must be troubled of soul indeed
