regard to adjoining forest maps and strike a circle with a 

 radius long enough to reach from the exact location of the look- 

 out point to the border of the map. Maps of inter-forest areas 

 comprising a fire protection unit will be prepared as rapidly 

 as possible. 



Report Forms — Equipment and Supplies. 



A blank form to be used by lookout and patrolmen as a daily 

 report was adopted for general use ; likewise a blank report form 

 to be used by the supervisor, fire chief or district ranger in 

 recording the daily reports from the lookout and patrolman was 

 adopted. On Forests inadequately provided with telephone 

 communication, where the so-called mail box system is used for 

 checking the work of patrolmen, a suitable galvanized iron box 

 was adopted, as well as a blank form for the purpose of record- 

 ing the visits of lookout men. 



Standard supply lists will be left with each store-keeper living 

 in or near the Forest and necessary arrangements made so that 

 he can send immediately when requested the supplies specified in 

 the list. The standardization of subsistence supplies for fire 

 fighters was thoroughly considered, but no list adopted, due ap- 

 parently to the great variation in local conditions. 



With the intent of avoiding possible criticism or comparisons 

 between adjacent Forests', the following list of food supplies, 

 when supplied by the Forest Service to lookout or patrolmen 

 was adopted as standard: 



Beans Fresh meat 



Flour Coffee 



Baking soda Lard 



Dried fruit Tea 



Pepper Salt 



Canned milk Bacon 



Canned tomatoes Sugar and syrup or jam 



Canned corn or peas I'-lacaroni and rice 



Baking powder Potatoes

 for selecting a diet that can be relished by the most fastidious 

 employee. The total cost of supplies that may be purchased
