Amateur Firefighters Help In National Park Blazes
It's everybody's job—amateur and professional—when the big fires run wild in the national parks.
In battling the major conflagrations that have struck this year Idaho alone saw as many as 1,825 men on the fire lines at one time The U. S. Forest service provides the backbone for such small armies but volunteers from various fields
often much of the muscle. The amateur ranks may include loggers and ranchers, state road crews and townpeople, military personnel and vacationists. Many come from the countryside nearest the fire. Others are recruited in more distant areas, and occasionally reinforcements may be flown in from out-of-state points.
During the fire season—normally from the first of June through mid-September—the 1,500 full-time field workers of the Forest Service are reinforced by some 5,000 seasonal employees which the Forest Service bires and trains each summer. These seasonal recruits serve along-sides the regulars as lookouts, smoke-jumpers, or smoke eaters.
When these modern minutemen are called into action, the fire is certain to be a bad one. Only when timber-hungry flames rage out of control and sweep over the vast acreages does the S. O. S. sound for volunteer help.
Loyalty Oath To 1,850 Employees
With 1.850 University employees' signatures on the required state loyalty affidavits, Karl Klooz, bursar, today urged the remaining 150 persons to sign the oath as quickly as possible.
"The affidavits must be signed by faculty members, employees, and part-time employees even if they are employed for only an hour," Mr. Klooz emphasized.
The loyalty forms are available in the business office in Strong hall. Civil service employees' affidavits will be separated and sent to the civil service commission in Topeka. The remaining affidavits will be filed at the business office.
"Again it must be pointed out that any unusual delay may mean removal from the payroll." Mr. Klooz warned. "If an employee receives a formal notice, he should respond quickly for the best interest of all concerned."

Navy To Use New Vessel
San Diego, Sept. 23.—(U.P.) The navy's latest type submarines will be used for the first time with the Pacific fleet next month when a joint amphibious task force from the United States "attacks" the Hawaiian islands, it was revealed Wednesday.
Five of the "guppy snorkel" subs, developed since the war, will serve the defending forces and will attempt to spot and sink the "attacking" fleet.
The new type subs of the converted 1,525-ton Balao class, have been used in operations in the Atlantic, where they have proven their superiority over conventional craft, but this maneuver will mark the first full scale Pacific operation for them.
