Forest Protection Work in B.C, 



The ori«anizalion of this year's fire 

 protection work in the province pro- 

 vides for the employment of 65 As- 

 sistant Forest Rangers for a period 

 of live months. These men were 

 selected by an Appointment Board, 

 consisting of two Coast and two I - 

 terior hmibermen, with three Forest 

 Branch officials, from the applicants 

 who were successful in passing the 

 civil service examination held for this 

 position. These examinations were 

 written and oral, were severely prac- 

 tical, and intended to show the appli- 

 cant's knowledge of general woods 

 work, fire fighting, and ability to sub- 

 mit reports. In addition the record 

 of each applicant's previous experi- 

 ence aiong lines of work which would 

 fit him for the work he would be re- 

 quired to do in the Forest Service 

 counted he vily in the final selection 

 of. the men. By this system of ex- 

 aminations and appointments — made 

 with the approval of representative 

 lumberme — the Forest Service is 

 assured of a forest protection field

During the most hazardous part 

 of the fire season each Assistant 

 Ranger will be provided with a num- 

 ber of patrolmen, so that during the 

 season of greatest danger this year's 

 plan of organization provides for the 

 employment of at least as large a 

 force as was engaged last year. A 

 change in the method of patrol has 

 been made in some instances. When 

 the system of roadways will permit, 

 the Assistant Rangers have been pro- 

 vided with specially equipped motor 

 cars, and this is proving an effective 

 method of patrol. 



In spite of old H. C. L., one 

 Pennsylvania State Forest tree-plant- 

 ing camp served 3,000 meals last 

 spring at an average cost of sixteen 

 and one-half cents each.
