are graduated down from lOOjS in uniform to sxmtner wear only, and 

 protects the Department from unwarranted replacements • Personnel in 

 uniform are govei*ned in the mode of attire by means of an Information 

 Circular, which is amended when regulations are changed, to better the 

 appearance of the general uniform, the method of wearing it, and changes 

 in the period of wear of the uniform clothing. The uniform regulations 

 contained in the Information Circular are being printed in booklet form 

 under the title of "Uniform Manual" and each employee in uniform will 

 receive a copy for his own use. 



The initial issue to personnel must be recommended by the 

 District Forester concerned, and the employee's classification must be 

 included in the eligible personnel listing. The District Foresters must 

 also satisfy themselves that garments, considered by the individual to 

 be in need of replacement, are actually past normal wearability before 

 submitting the necessary requisition to Head Office. The requisition 

 is checked against the individual's record card when received, to ensure 

 the entitlement before authorization is granted. 



DISTRIBUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

 exceeded the previous year by a considerable margin. In addition there 

 was the distribution of bulletins, technical books, SILVA MAGAZINE, 

 circular letters, the weekly News Letter, and various items of equipment 

 for tours* There has been a noted increase in the issue of supplies. It 



may be stated here that, with the advent of a new division. Parks, 

 another outlet for equipment and supplies came into being. Long-term 

 goods, such as printed forms, maps, advertising materials, bulk 

 stationery, office supplies and first aid supplies, have increased owing 

 to the further expansion of the department. A small armoury of revolvers 



and ammunition is kept in stock for the use of officers in the field.
