Fire Outlook In Ontario is improving

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

Fire - fighters. begrimed and. caustic. declared Friday that an acrid whiff of victory is discern- ible amidst the smoke of Ontario's fire-ravaged forests.

Officials said prospects for quell- ing Ontario's worst-ever fire out- break look better than at any time in three blistering months of smoke, sweet and destruction.

"it's better than it's been all summer." said Jack Dillon. chief of forest protection at the depart- ment of lands and forests. "Thurs day's rain made all the differenctv we could have hoped. At last we've- got the upper hand and we're nutl to keep winning."

In 24 hours to Friday evenlng,! fighters reduced the province's fire total from I30 to 123. lowest in six weeks. Twelve were out of con- trol. but none were moving. Mr. Dillon said.

These government farm officials said they expect the Eisenhower administration to re-explore soon the feasibility of resuming trade wlth Iron Curtain coun- tries.

The administration has been re- luctant to do this largely because of a belief that American consum-1 ers would disapprove such sales at prices below those prevailing in the U. S. The lower prices would be necessary under world compet- itive conditions.

Federatinn led the ofllcials to pre- dict early review of the matter.
