Ranger Roy Boothe is the latest to Join the ranks of 

 those owning Ford machines. Heroically regardless of its 

 shiny new surface, he used it for an express wagon to take 

 some of the bridge materials for the North Perk bridge from

 the same purpose thus hastening the completion of that much- 

 needed structure.

 even after they leave the Service. George Cavln, for a 

 number of years a ranger on the Sierra, had made a fifteen 

 cent purchase at one of the Fresno drug stores, and been 

 given a ticket entitling Mm to a "chance" on an auto. Cf 

 course the auto came to George. Some of us could have bought 

 out everything in that drug-store except the fifteen cents 

 worth, and drawn a ^lank.

 tho last six years in the stream measurement work oarriec". on

 the people of this forest, most of whom usually managed to 

 see sonethirtG of ILr.and Krs.Torpklns and their Sierra girls 

 whenever on leave at the Bay.
