Especially to a little car parked beneath a long high fence on 5th Ave. The fence began to sway outward dangerously. l?piir strong men appeared and held it back while the car owner drove his vehicle to safely. The strong men leaped clear anil the board fence fell down.

Laying Rail One Mile A Day
Northern  extension  of  the   Pacific  Great  Eastern Railway will be completed within four weeks. Railway   officials   in   Vancou-
� I
ver said this morning crews are laying steel at the rate of a mile a clay and will keep up the pace as long as favorable weather continues.
The $54,000,000 construction job, the largest of its kind in B.C.'s history, will link Prince George with centers in the heart of the grain and petro-icn in-rich Peace River fiiftsa.
PGE spokesmen said the inaugural run over the 750-mile route from North Vancouver to ;rort St. John is expected late n September after the steel has ieen laid and ballasting opera-ions are completed. JTEEIj TO FOK'F ST. JOHX
The steel has been laid to rort St. John but railway crews �til! have between .'!() and 40 niles to lay from Chetwynd to Jawson   Creek.
All indications are that it will )C completed  on  schedule.   But
weather conditions will have to be considered..
A crew of 80 railway employees is currently laying the track and a contractor is still working on a bridge in the Chetwynd- Dawson   Creek   link.
Several carloads of freight have already moved over the extension. They have included shipments of lumber, cattle and grain  from  the  Peace  River.
A trainload of sulphur from the Pacific Petroleums refinery at Taylor is expected to move south soon, it will be the first time petroleum by-products have moved over the line to a coastal port.
However, all freight traffic which will move over the line before il is turned over to the railway's operations department is transferred under special contract agreements.

Diefenbaker With His Bill Of

New Equipment Fight Forest
Aircraft equipped with sprays and tanks capable of drenching "spot" fires went into the battle today against 1,000,000 blazing acres in the Prince George forest   district.
District forester YV. C. "Cy" Philips said the Pacific Western Airlines Beaver took off from Sontli Fort George at .'� a.in; on one of the toughest assignments In the fight against devastating forest fires.
The aircraft is capable of carrying about 200 gallons of water which it picks up when it lands on lakes and streams and sprays the water over blazes.
However, Mr. Phillips warned it would only prove effective on small blazes and help control them until firefighting crews arrived at the scenes. UTIO.VKIU.KI)   IVEEK-BXb
Meanwhile forest service officials can expect a trying, action-filled week-end as today's weather forecast rain will not Tall over northern B.C.
Forecast issued by the weather bureau  at  the  Prince George
airport says cloudy periods with light rain showers in the west em section of the Cariboo can be expected.'
The fires which are causing the most trouble are raging north of Prince George to the H.C.-Yukon bonier and arc whipping through rich timber-land in high-priced reserves.
Forest, service reported three new fires had broken out overnight, bringing a total of ~'Z blazes now burning in tin* forest district which covers u third of the physical area of B.C.. Mil   FIGHTING   FIKES
Phillips said 961 men arc at the front lines today and arc aided  by 55  tractors.
Blaze about 70 miles north of here near the Hart Highway is being fought by a flotilla of tractors in an eleventh hour attempt to bring it under control before it spreads any further. Two helicopters are transporting men, equipment and food to the scenes of the blazes which are Inaccessible by road.
mental  freedoms of Canadians.
But  his attempts  in  the  past
to have such legislation put on
the books were opposed by the
j previous Liberal government on
grounds it was unnecessary.
With this session apparently moving toward a close, a reporter asked Mr. Diefenbaker whether he still intends bringing his bill of rights before Parliament at this lime. ALREADY   DRAFTED
"Absolutely," he said. "It's drafted. It's ready.
"Naturally it's a matter for the House to decide, but I'm going to have it submitted and 1 also hope to get it passed this session."
He offered no hint of what the bill will propose, but a main purpose of it likely will be to throw a major roadblock in the way of any attempts to abrogate individual freedom in Canada.
By neatly outlining fundamental freedoms for Canadians, it would remove any excuse for inadvertent abrogation of an individual's rights by courts or governments. Parliament would still remain supreme, legally' able to legislate whatever action it sees fit.
Mr. Diefenbaker last proposed a bill of rights In the Commons in 1955, when lie was an Opposition member. Some of its main points:
