mentioned. The higher peaks are named and elevations 

 given. Waterfalls, lakes, cascades and other special 

 features of the forest are told of in short paragraphs or 

 sentences. Each of the sixteen National Forests in the 

 state is thus outlined and one seeking a vacation terri- 

 tory will find many things told of in each forest biography 

 which will invite him to visit them.

 remainder of the booklet is general information of inter- 

 est to a camper or tourist wherever he may be going on 

 a trip. General rules for fire prevention are given. Per- 

 sonal equipment, outfit and clothing are next outlined 

 after which is found a ration list for one man for one 



day with equivalent substitutes. Camp equipment for 

 various sized camps follows and some simple camp 

 cookery is included. Sanitation, packing, handling game, 

 distress signals, first aid and a brief discussion or the 

 administration of National Forests complete the publi- 

 cation. 



For one who wishes to secure information on Oregon's 

 National Forest playgrounds the book is invaluable. To 

 those who seek general information on camping the 

 book offers many good suggestions. "Vacation Land" is 

 worthy a place in any library. Copies may be secured
