James H. McGillivray, organizer of the Michigan Forest Scouts, lets Gifford Pinchot know that the clause that Pinchot is requiring to grant approval of the Forest Scouts is “the best kind of a post-Christmas gift.” McGillivray says that there must be an effective body of fire fighters in Michigan, and praises the work his scouts have done in fire prevention.
