Despite the fact that the Department does not advertise The Junior Ranger 

 program in any way, many more applications are received each year than can 

 be accepted. In 1950, 564 applications were received, of which a total of 283 were 

 accepted for employment. It is significant to note that many of the boys are desirous 

 of taking up forestry work in ensuing years. The main work undertaken during the 

 summer under review consisted of construction and maintenance of telephone lines, 

 clearing portages and trails, clearing camp sites, repairing buildings, painting and 

 construction work. Instruction was given in the use and care of tools, outboards, 

 pumps and canoes.
