Remainder of the new fires was ,in the Fort Nelson area of the district. A total of 22 fires were burning today, two less than Monday, as 96 men and five bulldozers worked on mopping-up operations.
Hazard in the district has eased somewhat, a B.C. Forest Service official said today, but is still high.
Threat of thunderstorms, however, more than offsets the slight reduction in the hazard.

TRAIL iCPi�Two. rivers rampaged at flood levels In the Kooteriay district today. ' The Columbia River, rising eight inches a day, continued to creep into low-lying sections of Trail today, forcing evacuation of 150 homes. It also threatened lo knock out a highway bridge and ferry services at nearby Castlegar.
At Creston, CO miles east of here, the Kootenay River kept up its pressure on 50 miles of weakened dikes, protecting 50,-000 acres of I'ra'iiiki'nd.
Trail city council met Monday night to appeal to the provincial government.to declare a state of emergency In the area.
The council wired Highways Minister Gaglardl to authorize the declaration lo 'take emergency measures.
Observers fear that the Columbia may sweep away the bridge across the river there, the main highway connection to southeastern B.C.
Monrlay night ttie river level was three feet below the bridge. A foot of water covered the bridge at the peak of the disastrous 104S floods.
Jack Buchanan, civil defence co�onlinutor who ordered evacution of the homes, said merchants and residents should expect the river >to reach the 1948 level by the end of the week.

IN U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP) � Dividing 5 to 4 in two historic decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld two of the government's major weapons against Communist party activity in the U.S.
The decisions backed the tightest U.S. restrictions ever aimed at a group which purports to 'be a political organization. The court Monday upheld:
1. A clause in the Smith Anti-Communist Act of 1940 which makes it a.crime for a person to belong to any organization knowing that it advocates violent overthrow of the government.
2. A requirement that the Communist party register with the U.S. attorney-general as a )iippct of the Kremlin. This requirement is a part of the 1950 subversive activities Control Act.

Kiwanians Ponder Merits of Tennis, Bowling Facilities for Club Project
Prince George Kiwanis (Nc-chako) Club has a problem. It is faced with two possible club projects � tennis courts and lawn bowling greens�and must decide which of the two to proceed with first.
Club President George Choban said today that some weeks ago the club decided to build tennis courts at Fort George Park.
"One of our members talked to members of city council ibout our plan and found Ihey vere all for it. Several alder-nen fell tennis courts were a letter deal as lawn 'bowling
greens were planned for near he senior citizen's home by �ouncil."
LIKKI) GREENS Then, said Mr. Choban, Bill
Woycik and Mat Briggs, Civic Properties and Recreation Com-lission director and assistant ircctor, came out in favor of ic greens.
"They told us six greens ould he built for about $1,000
omparcd to about $8,000 need-
d to build six hard-topped ten-is courts," Mr. Choban said. Mr. Woycik also said lawn bowling greens would be more
o ahead with the
Ihe bodies for burial or creina- j popular than tennis courts. So. �ion, I after considering this, we de-
cided to greens."
The club's decision spurrec rcsidcnUs of 'the Millar addilioi into action and a petition was quickly drawn up and circu latcd.
The petition, addressed to city council, not the Kiwanis Clu'b, asked for development ol tennis courts in Fort George Park.
Among the reasons given for support of such a development were:
Tennis courts provide a long playing season, from early spring to late fall;
� Tennis courts require practically no upkeep after the initial cost has been met;
� No caretaker is required;
� Tennis can be played by young and old and requires a minimum of organization; and
O Tennis provides a maximum amount of exercise for growing children, according lo physical education instructors.
"We feel tennis courts would serve more people than bowling greens," Mrs. L. A. Park, 1644 Cedar, explained. "We also feel thai in the long run they would be cheaper than bowling greens."
The housewife, one of Ihe
prime movers in drawing up the petition, said people of the area definitely favor tennis courts.
"We aren't particularly concerned about having the tennis courts built in Fort George Park," she said. "It would be nice to have them anywhere in the city."
STUDY, REPORT
The petition was presented to a city council committee-of-thc-whole meeting and was im-nediately referred to city eng-neer Bill Jones and the recrea-ion commission for study and �eport.
"Tennis courts are included n our over-all plans for Fort Icorgc Park," city manager \rran Thomson explained. But they have no priority and vc are doing other things first, uch as paving streets. "There is no crying need for tennis courts, we already have some." (Tennis courts arc located on the west side of Central on Fifteenth.)
However, the petition has caused the Kiwanians to have second thoughts as to ju.st what should be their project.
"We're still studying the wo," Mr. Cho'ban said. "If the city helped out we would bo quite willing to go ahead with a start on both projects and build two howling greens and j two tennis courts.
"Both arc on our agenda hut we'll need city help on them." The club will wait until council receives Its report on the petition before making its next move.
"Frankly," said Mr. Choban, "I don't know which way we'll move. But we'll have to do something .soon. Jt'.s gelli lg late."
