64 * * * * * "O/z, Ranger!" 



national parks. It is all very moving and stimulating, and many is the 

 visitor who feels the urge, along with the rangers, to take his pen in 

 hand and put it all on paper, perhaps in verse as did a ranger in Sequoia 

 Park after watching the invasion of 'possums into that region : 



'Possums from Missouri, that's what the people say, 



Moving to Sequoia and now well upon their way. 



'Possums coming singly, others come in pairs, 



Mothers carrying baby ones in pouches lined with hairs, 



Big 'possums, little 'possums, lean ones and fat, 



All moving to Sequoia now what do you think of that? 



There is romance in the lives and the ways of every one of these 

 animals of the parks. That is their great appeal. Wild life is full of 

 problems, just as is human life. Everywhere there is a plot. Every 

 where there is a struggle. Everywhere there is a story. Never before 

 in the history of mankind have three million people a year been able to 

 enjoy it so intimately.
