Forest fire danger
decreases in province

VANCOUVER (CP)—British
Columbia fire fighters Tuesday
received some relief in their
battle against growing forest
fires—with more favorable
weather in the Kamloops and
Prince George forest districts
and word that the army was
joining the fire lines in the
Nelson district. '

The Candian Forces provided
12 four-wheel-drive vehicles and
36 men for fire duty in the
Nelsonareaof southeastern B.C.,
which continued to be the major
trouble spot.

Eight trucks were sent from
Chilliwack, B.C., and four from
Calgary to provide transport to
remote fires nat accessible ¢ to
regular vehicles,

Sixteen new fires brought the
total in the Nelson district to

123. The fire hazard remained k

high to extreme.

Improvements in the weather
led the B.C. Forest Service to
lift campfire restrictions in the
Prince George and Kamloops
districts,

Five new fires were reported
in the Kamloops district, in the
southern interior, with lightning
the major contributing factor.
The district had 207 fires and
the fire hazard was moderate to
high in the northern-Cariboo
area but high to extreme i in -the
south.

In the Prince George district,
69 fires were burning, two of
them new overnigit,

Scientists around the world
looked over the shoulders of
David Scott and James Irwin
and shared their wild ex-
eitement and enthusiasm as
they hopped about on. the
moon collecting what they
called ‘‘fantastic’’ rock
specimens,

Even non-scientists could
not help but be caught up in
their explosive enthusiasm,
punctuated by exclamation
after exclamation — ‘‘What a
beaut!"” “This is superb!"’ and
many just plain “Oh boy!”
Then the clincher, “Guess
what we've just found?" Scott
said to Irwin, “We've found
what we came for — you
better believe it!”

It was like watching a gold
discover the
mother lode,. or children
finding their first agates on the
beach. Scientists, snapping
pictures of the television
monitors, could hardly con-

tain themselves. One said it
was like looking over the
shoulder of Charles Darwin
while he collected specimens
during the voyage of the
Beagle that charted new
worlds of evolutionary
thought.

Both Scott and Irwin. are
superb geologists, able to pick
up the important rocks and
discard the lesser ones. One
scientist said either astronaut
could qualify for a doctorate in
geology.

B.C. Lion fortunes

VANCOUVER (CP) — Coach
Eagle Keys is counting ona win
for his British Columbia Lions
in tonight's Western Football
Conference game against Ed-
monton Eskimos, and the aut-
come could hinge on the toe of
punter-turned-place kicker Ken
Phillips.

A victory would put B.C,
alone in second spot behind Cal-
gary Stampeders, and the Lions
would still have at least a game
in hand over the other three

WEC clubs.

Phillips established himself
as a place kicker 10 days ago
when he replaced Ted Gerela,
He promptly kicked five field
Goals in five attempts as the
Lions won their first game of
the season, 29-16 over Winnipeg

The question is whether Phil-
lips canrepeat his performance
before a home crowd,

“It’s always tougher at
home,” says Phillips, °
