South Vancouver Island Rangers Are Well Equipped and Trained to Help Law

NOT A POLICE FORCE, not a
fish and game club, not a military
organization—but a group of experi-
enced and well-trained civilian
woodsmen who are willing and ready
to go into action if called upon by
the B.C. Police, game and forestry
units and any municipal police force
in cases pertaining to lost persons or
planes and where lives are endangered
by fire.

This is the South Vancouver Is-
land Ranger organization.

NINETEENTH EDITION

Forces Search for Lost Persons.

This group of 148 senior members
and 25 junior members is organized
and equipped to perform volunteer
emergency service in the woods and
are ever ready to muster at the first
call for help from law services.

On the call for help the rangers
proceed quickly to the Blanshard
Street assembly headquarters equip-
ped with compass, knife, flashlight
and extra cells, watch, waterproof
matches, maps, personal first aid kit,
note book and pencil and ranger
identification badge.

They are equipped with two trail-
ers which can be quickly equipped

with provisions and rushed to the
trouble area to act as a field base.
This, along with reserves on hand
to replace tired-out searchers, enables
continued action on search.

MAN-TRACKING BLOODHOUND

The rangers own a man-tracking
bloodhound, Sir Roderick of Ogden,
which comes from New Jersey and
is a pedigree dog from the best man-
tracking strain in America. This dog
plays a major role in the Rangers’
hunts for lost persons and its services
have been offered police to partici-
pate in searches for lost persons any-
where in British Columbia.
