New Law Helps Rangers To Prosecute - Atlanta, Georgia Forest Rangers will find it easier this season to get quick prosecution of vandals who cause damage to improvements on National Forest lands in the South. Vandalism and littering cost the taxpayers many thousands of delars each year in the South and Forest Service offi cials think a law passed by Congress will help, cut down on the damage. The, law, passed late last year, allows Rangers to bring vandals, and others who vio late regulations set up to pro tect ttr Forests, before a U. S. Commissioner for trial. The law, with authority from Fed eral District Courts, provides for immediate hearings before a designated commissioner. When such cases were car ried to Fode al District Court, crowded court ca’endars often made it impractical to use the courts to try these petty cases. -Heavy court dockets also have caused long delays in hearing many cases. Rangers did their test to persuade those using the Forests not to damage them but greoUy increased use brought growing misuse by a small percentage of .visitors Under thv new law. those wh i .shoot stems, damage picnic tables and restrooms, are noisy disorderly and otherwise vio’ate regulations can be tak en before a u S. Commissioner for immediate trial. i lock SCOUTS ATTEND DEDICATION Pictured above are Marsha who took part in the formal Sccut Building and the Blessing April 25.
