KILBOl'BN A Boy Ranger in Alaka TO HAVE been the youngest ranger In the national park service, and to have spent a winter In a patrol cabin cab-in In wildest of all the parks Mt McKlnley park. Alaska, at sixteen years of age, with his nearest neighbor neigh-bor forty miles away, was the recent experience of Bill Myers of Lapeer, Mich., now a Journalisni student at the Michigan state college at Kast Lansing, Lan-sing, lie returned In August, lOlS, after thirteen months In Alaska. The Job of being a ranger Included driving dog teams . through snowy, wind-swept winter waste lands where his only hope of reaching the night's shelter lay In that unexplainable but undeniable sixth sense of the dog leader which enables him to follow a trail long burled or a year old ; down steep Ice hillsides, or around ledges where footholds for the dogs and sleds had to be hacked In solid ice, while great valleys yawned below; or through rivers of water which ran on to of rivers of Ice caused by the breaking through of warm springs M'-:w:-Wl7'WJf' "Ranger Bill" Myers. which overflowed the frozen valleys only to freeze on top of them. It included in-cluded mining your own coal from the nearest mountain side vein In zero weather, or rescuing mountain sheep that had strunded in a four-foot snowfall snow-fall and would otherwise have starved. It Included being shaken by an earthquake, earth-quake, which rocked the cabin and set his lantern swinging tike a pendulum, but didn't wake the hard-working boy ranger to share the excitement with a guest, who later recounted it. The Job Included, In fact, nearly every thing, as witness his diary's record of January 25: "Got breakfast and washed the dishes; did a month's washing ; cooked dog feed ; baked four loaves of yeast bread ; roasted a ham ; made two shelves, and a cover for the water bucket; sorted and straightened a bunch of old nulls; oiled the tools; got supper ready. And they say they loaf on government Jobs I" Quoting the claim of the Far North that the dog team Is the world's most efficient means of transportation, "Kangcr IHH" explains: "Seven dogs, for example, can pull five hundred pounds (plus the driver) twenty miles a day, on a fair trail. Dogs and driver driv-er will consume about ten pounds of food a day. On five hundred pounds of food they can travel a thousand miles, which Is supposed to be further than any other animal or animals can travel, carrying their own food." The rescued mountain sheep had t he forced to eat at first, but were soon quite tame, eating hay, oats, rye-crisp, rye-crisp, dried apples, and potato peelings peel-ings alike, and nosing Into forbidden cupboards. One, , Bill relates, "was real timid the first day and would ea nothing, but 24 hours later he was eating magazines and sleeping bags." "Oh.

"There was many a time when there seemed no sweeter thing on earth than a good hot heal of meat and potatoes with a steam radiator to heat It over. But now that I have these 'luxuries,' I find myself longing for a good dish of dog rice and gravy, and one of those old cabins that we couldn't stand op In without bumping our heads.

"You've been a fine passenger," Pilot said, "and I'm sorry I couldn't have told you more about my work as a pilot, but you know I can't let the Earth people know all my secrets. They're trying to work out some of these schemes now, and It wouldn't do if I didn't keep my sky secrets." How much the pilot did look like a star. "If you won't tell me your secrets," se-crets," Harry asked, "will you tell me your name?" "Yes, my name Is Star no special star at all Just Star," the pilot answered. an-swered. "I'll tell you Just a word or two about my family. Cosmo gave a hint at the start, but I'll add a little lit-tle to what he said. You know the old saying about hitching your wagon to a star well. It's to that star family fam-ily that I belong. You made your wish and came along with me In my plane. You hitched your wagon or your wish to me as your pilot But I must fix up the plane a bit to get ready for Cosmo's and my trip home. Good-by." "Good-bv." Harry said.

"Never mind about all that," be said, and eot back Into the plane. It was then that Cosmo told him about the short visit he would have with his own Planet Earth before he went home. ."I could go along with you," Cosmo said, "but I really must get back. We sent a radio message asking a friend of ours to come and talk to you." "Oh, Cosmo, are you leaving me now? Won't I soon see you again?" "I'm afraid not," Cosmo answered. "But how happy -I am that you should be so sorry to have me go." Harry was feeling feel-ing very sad.
