Among the correspondence, a letter from Motor Vehicles Branch of the Department of Highways re- rding the Board's request and hat 6f City Council that a 20 mile- pér-hour speed limit be imposed in school soneés, made clear the fact that there was no provision in the Highway Traffic Act for any such imposition.

While new preparations were be- ing drawn up the mighty Fraser continued to spread calamity with each new hour, Peak of the river's risé was drawing near. Red Cross officials estimated the Fraser alone alréady directly af- fécted 75,000 people. Estimates of its damaige ranged as high as $20,- 000,000. The federal government in Otta- wa Announced it was ready to fulfil any réguest for ald from the B.C. government and in Vancouver John Bracken, national leader of the Progressive Conservative party, said his party would support immedi- ate passage Of a special House grant for flood relief. Two more "ghost" towns were ad- ded to a list becoming alarmingly longer each day. : Fifteen hundred persons late Motiday night and early today were evacuated from Matsqui 40 miles east of here. Worst pot in interior B.C. was at Creston, 70 miles from Trail. The withdrawal of families from low- lands was being speeded up as 8,- 00 acres of rich farm lands sur- rendered to the Kootenay River. At Kamloops in the Okanagan Valley the rising Thompson River forced the first large scale evacua- tion in flats west of the city. Five hundréd volunteers with bull dozérs worked continually for 72 Bours under flood lights to save North Kamloops village.

Dryden, Maple Shade Farm, Brooklin, will be auc- tioned off tomorrow afternoon. Buyers are expected from all parts of Ontario, Westetn Canada, the United States, Quebec and the Maritimes, The sale will start at 1.30 p.m., daylight saving time. Traffic Lights (Continued from Page 1) the Department of Highways might well consider bearing part of the cost of lights at King and Ritson if the city made application. Left Hand Turns Alderman R. D. Humphreys and Evelyn Bateman urged that the lights at King and Ritson be equip- ped with signals to facilitate left hand turns. The intersection, they pointed out, would have a great deal of traffic making left hand turng and if such signals were not installed, traffic jams would occur. Mr, Bhreve assured council that with standard equipment, such sig- Issuance Of Debentures Authorized City Council last night' approved two by-laws authorizing the issu- ance of debentures to cover cost of sewers And sidewalks constructed last year, Debentures issued for both sanitary and storm sewers amounted to $27,800 and the side- walk debentures were $3,500. Cost apportioning in the sewer deben- tures were, sanitary sewers, $21,471 and storm sewers, $6,328. A débenture by-law .- covering Board of Works buildings costing $73,000 was held over for further consideration. According to word received from the Municipal Board, this project would have to go to a vote by taxpayers before debentures oan be issued. Council members also heard the City Engineer's report on sidewalk and sewer installation work planned for this year, . City Engineer W. T. Dempsey recommended that $30,345 be spent on storm sewers on Willingdon Avenue, Vimy Avenue and LaSalle Avenue. It is proposed that the owner's portion would be at the rate of 18% cents per assessable foot with the eity to pay the bal- ance of the costs over 18% cents. Debentures to cover the cost will be issued on a 15-year basis. Bani- tary sewers Jroieed would be on Alice Street, Kingsdale Drive, Doug las Street, Roger Btreet and Park Road South at a cost of $8408, The sidewalk program costing $13,154 would cover portions of Grierson Street, Jarvis Street, Les- lie Street, Sutherland Street, Kings- dale Drive, Hibbert Street, Huron Street, Bandra Street, Kingsdale Avenue and LaSalle Avenue. De- bentures will be issued on a ten- year basis with taxpayers bearing 60 per cent of the cost and the city 40 per cent. nals could be added. Mayor Frank N. McCallum told | of a meeting with a Toronto traf- | fic engineer at which "traffic actu- | ated" signal lights were discussed. | While this would be satisfactory | the cost of such an installation at | King and Ritson would be about | $4,000 compared to $1,200 for stand- | Forest Fires (Continued from Page 1) of the fires, he stressed that all three are the result of "careless- ness."

The Jews acknowledged that Ire aql troops, moving south, are only nine miles from Tel Aviv at one point. One Arab informant said | Iraqi soldiers were only three miles from the eity. As fighting' continued, the leads ers of seveh Arab states scheduled a meeting at Amman, TranseJor- dan, to discuss the latest United Nations truce bid. The U.N. Secur- ity Council set 7 p.m. EDT tonight as the deadline. Some observers {elt the Arabs would not flatly reject the truce request. This belief was bolstered by Prime Minister Mahmoud Fah- my Nokrashy Pasha of Egypt who said the Arab reply would be "mo- derate, reasonable and acceptable." Council Briefs ES With a full complement of mem- bers sitting until after midnight, Oity Council last night: Referred a letter from the Osh- awd Horticultural Society protest. ing against the manner in which trees on streets are being cut down and trimmed to the Public Utilities Commission, the Bell Telephone Company and the Ontario Hydro. The Society had protested that the cutting and trimming of trees was done without regard to the beauty and life of the trees. The organi- zations to whien coplés of the let ter were sent were asked to use all precautions in the trimming of trees. Received and filed a letter from Hayden Macdonald protesting against the removal of two trees from the boulevard in front of his premises and asking that the trees be replaced by planting, Agreed to a request of the Ideal Dairy to remove a tree in front of | the company's property as the tree | "Royal weading | Scores Canadians For Said Postponed Athens, June 1--(Reuters) -- Princess Anne of Bourbon-Parma's wedding to former King Michael of Romania, fixed for Saturday, has beén postponed indefinitely be- cause Anne has-been taken sud- denly ill, it was reliably réported here today. oe Earlier reports that Michael had put off his arrival here hid sug- gested that religious difficulties were causing a hold-up.

Mich- ael is a member of the Orthodox Raid Planes Arab Capital Amman, Trans-Jordan, June 1 (CP) --~Jewish airmen dropped ex- plosive bombs and incendiaries to- day on Amman, capital of Trans Jordan, and killed six Arab civili« ans, officials announced. (The British Army in Haifa, Is- rael, announced Jewish warplanes also bombed an R.AF, airfield near Amman. The British announce- ment sald 12 Arabs were killed and 30 were wounded and a number of grounded aircraft were damaged in the raids). Great indignation was expressed at the royal palace here where the raid was described as an inhdisecri- minate attack against the civil population. Observers said the raid 'meant there was virtually no pos- sibility of unqualified acceptance of the cease-fire order. Officials said about 10 bombs of about 50 pounds each, including some incendiaries, were dropped. One of the three bombing runs made by the plane was in the area of King Abdullah's royal palace, which it was believed the Jewish bomber was trying to hit. Three bombs were dropped in this area but caused only one casualty --to a cow. Another bomb fell near the house of the British Minister, 8ir Alexander Kirkbride. The raid lasted about half an hour. This was the first time Am- | man has been bombed. More people refrained from vot- ing in the 1945 federal elections than voted Liberal, according to Richard G. Lewis, editor and ot lisher of the trade ,.Canadian Broadcastér and Pelescieen who delivered an address at the Rota Club lunsheon here today in whic he scored Canadians for their sm« tional apathy. "It is sad, but none the less true," he said, "that we are inclined--all of us--to live in our own houses sweep the &now from in tront- of our own driveways, mow our own lawns, and to the devil with our neighbors." Citing figures for the 1045 fed- eral elections, he pointed out that the Liberals polled 2,015,790 votes, while the number of people whose Nhames were on the voters' lists but refrained from voting, was 2,134,520, "It means," Lewis said, "that while the Liberal party won the election by polling more votes than any other party, there was an even larger group, the 'didn't vote' group, whieh was stronger than the con- quering Liberals. 'This majority group", he sald, "actually voted against having a parliament, simply by not voting, and government without parliament, in any man's language, is dictatorship." Lewis continued to lash out at the non-voters. "Those of us who, last election, said 'what's one vote anyhow?', and didn't vote; those of us who said 'I don't like politics'; those of us who did not see to it that everyone in our employ had the opportunity to vote, and*o vote as he or she saw fit, are not worthy of Canadian citizenship.

Part of Portland's downtown area, including the Union Station, Was under water today after the Williamette River topped the sea- wall, The station is Portland's only railroad dépot, and the trains were unable to use it, Meanwhile, the main Columbia River dike guarding a section of North Portland' was ordered aban- onéd and all workers and troops cleared. The swollen Columbia broke through at Woodland, Wash, South Kelso, Wash., Kalama, Wash. and Dalles, Ore, and slashed across a highway to send the water-logged debris of shattered Vanport eascading into another North Portland diked area. Five thousand Bouthwest Wash- ington residents scurried from flood areas of three towns.

While the peak in the metropoli- tan Portland-Vaneouver, ahs. séctor 18 due tomorrow, it is un- likely that anything it will bring could compare with the tragic blow that the swollen river hag dealt to shattered Vanports population 'of 18,700. 'The entire city, once Oregon te's second largest, has been de- stroyed. How many perished in the disaster that came when a railroad dike burst is still a mystery.

On motion of Alderman Ray Halliday, council moved that the P.UC. proceed with the replace- ment of lights and asked that the Department of Highways be ap- proached for a contribution toward the cost. Regarding the King and Ritson intersection, Police Chief O. D. Friend in a letter to council, com- plained that the signs pointing to | the new highway are inadequate and cause confusion. Many of his officers, he said, report that they | are continually being asked by tourists for directions to reach the new highway. He estimated that one-third of United States tourists become confused at 'the intersec- tion and are found later on other streets vainly searching for No. 2A. He asked that more helpful signs be erected.

Mayor McCallum agreed, but re- iterated that he blamed both sides | for keeping the whole situation a! rét until matters became so bad at news inevitably leaked out to the public and then it was tod late to rectify the situation, Alderman Sam Jackson, Jr. said that while he was taking no sides until the matter had been report- ed upon, he understood that the chifef point of disagreement be- tween the executive and Mr, Cole- man was the executive's insistence that young people be barred from the CRA. buildings in the even- ings. He had heard that Mr. Cole- man had, in turn, insisted that young people from the ages of 13 to 17 be allowed to use the build- ing in the evenings. "If that is' the case I agree with Mr. Coleman," he said. "If the young people could be kept active in the C.R.A. in the evening, it would be a forward step in combat- ting juvenile delinquency."

There are 300 in the crews battling the Mississagl fire; 250 at Helen Lake, 250 on the Chapleau-Blind River Road. Some 40 pumps, several bulldozers and aircraft are being used. Mr. Mackey said reports received from the fire fronts indicate the crews had "a pretty bad time" yes- terday. He emphasized that esti~ mates of the extent of the fires are hampered by the density of smoke. "Tne situation is really bad. The fires are so large and tney're mov- ing so fast that it's pretty difficuult to get around them. 'lhe timber is terrifically dry and the breezes | are steady.

In every case the flames have, whirled arcoss a = Cousiccauwmse amount" of cuf-over land, he said. But the flames also have destroyed "a lot" of standing green timber. Mr. Mackey said the timber loss is "terrifi¢" although there is no estimate so far. 'Tnere will be some salvage possiblities, he added. District Forester Dick Boultbee of Port Arthur reported that the Helen Lake fire broke out anew Monday with an explosion which "shook the ground" and was "enough to scare ahy man." He reported to Toronto head- quarters that the fire "shot up the trees and away it went." The Helen Lake fire is believed to have started in a pile of sawdust left by a lumber company joduels. At the scene of the Mississagl tire, one official said that blaze is thought to have been started by a - poacher. Blind River, June 1 (CP). -- The Mississagi forest fire, raging un- controlled some 50 miles north of this Northern Ontario lumber town, covered more than 35,000 acres of timber late Monday night and brought Deputy Lands Minister Frank MacDougall to the scene. Mr, MacDougall announced that all available men and equipment will be rushed from district points to help combat the blaze. He said the fire was ohe of the worst he had ever seen and con- firmed the belief that a trappers carelessness was responsible for the fire which is still spreading rapidly. "The size of the fire is tremend- ous," he said. "All resources of the department will be thrown into the fight in an attempt to keep it from spreading anymore." The wind shifted from the south- west to morthwest and reached a velocity of 50 miles an hour, cre- ating a dangerous condition for hundreds of firefighters. The situation became so desperate that firefighting crews were forced to follow Sunday's plan of deliber- ately burning timber to try to save lumber camps. With strong westerly winds fane ning the flames, the fire spread in all sections. Camps of the Mec- Fadden Lumber Company lay dirs ectly in line with the path-ur ne fire, Reinforcements came from as far away as North Bay upon instruc tions of Regional Forester E. L.
