Lincoln County, Snake River, Teton National Forest, Wyoming. Forest Supervisors equipped with their horses and sled for Forest Service work are of much aid to citizens in this kind of country, especially in winter. adjuncts of any community, large or small, and a Supervisor should identify hims If with any movement which will bring a physician to his community, if one is lacking. This may be done best perhaps by offering a guaranteed salary; each member of the community agree- ing to pay a certain amount of the salary at stated periods. Closely allied to this, are the questions of proper sanita- tion and water supply of towns, and in these I think every Supervisor should take an active interest. Other community problems, such as the beautifying of streets, the placing of shade trees, the cleaning up of debris, the extinction of insect and rodent pests, are all locally important, and a Forest Supervisor is just as well qualified to take an important part in the proper solution of these problems as any other citizen. I can see no objection to a Supervisor serving, without pay, as a member of his town council or board of alderman, if by doing so he can help out the com- munity. There may be official objec- tion to this, but if it exists, I do not know of it. Where a community is very small and no town cotmcil or similar body exists, a great deal of community work can be done through
