United States, the purchasing power of money is relatively less in that country owing to the excessively high prices of goods. The war-instituted policy of wage and price control, .as now-practised in Canada, has benefited and will continue to benefit the (Canadian worker by protecting his living standards and avoiding an inflationary rise in prices, which would cancel the advantage gained by an increase in his real wages during the war years and since. During the last war and up to today Canada has managed by means of price control to maintain a general, price level in this country which has enabled wage .earners to purchase goods and services at reasonable prices. This is in striking contrast to conditions in many other countries where, due to failure to control prices, the purchasing power of wages is much less than before the war and the standard of living is lowered to that extent. Wage stabilization is necessary because wages form a very considerable part of the cost of producing the goods and services we all must use. The real value of wages de-uend upon their purchasing power. Increases in money waees unless they can be taken care of by employers out of profits alreadv existing-, are bound to increase the cost of gockls and services. LETTERBOX WOMEN BEHIND STRIKE Editor, Daily News: There was a report in your Issue of May 18 claiming that it was an "open secret" that the married women .of Terrace were opposed to the' I.W:A. strike. On behalf of the members of the newly formed Terrace ladles auxiliary of the International Woodworkers I would like to say that it is so secret that none of us know anything about it. The married women of Terrace, far from being opposed to the strike, are solidly behind our men In their battle for a 25 cent per hour increase, 40 hour week and union security. We know how hard lt.ls these days to feed and clothe our families with rising prices. In fact we have Just formed a local branch of -the Women's Auxiliary of :the I.W.A. at Terrace so that we can fight and back the union one hundred per cent. MRS. O.

PRAISE FOR SEA CADETS Appeal for Financial Support To He Made At thp'lr regular monthly meeting last evening in the Civic Outre the executive of the Navy L"aue of Canada congratulated the local Captain Cook Corps of the Hosal Canadian Hea Cadets on their recent very successful activ-'-tifs. The manner in which hp coi os put on ami conducted it.-, dance, the fine showing mnde :it the annus! inspection, their splendid contribution to the Victoria Day celebration by the nnart turnout of the guard-of-hnhor and. the bugle band, all b ought praise from the Navy Lamte. A review cf the cost of operating the local Sea Cadets Corps b cunht out the fact that upwards of $1,520 was spent last y-ur. While it was felt that this was a large sum of money and that each item of expense had been carefully kept to a minimum. lt was also felt that It was a good Investment. Th? value to the lads themselves and indirectly to the community could not be evaluated in dollars and cents- However it was also emphasized that the maintenance of the corps was a res-porwlbllity of the parents of thr cadets primarily and then of th community as a whole. Wih th in mind, arrangements for the fotllicomlmc, lag day and ran v ass of the parents and citizen to beroni. members were earn fully reviewed. A request from Navy League headquarters expressed 1 lie hop-that It would, be possible to ob-taiiij the, jiiameB of all ex-sea carifis who had been awarded derations and mentlons-in- dispatches during the war. Any citizen knowing of such ex-Sea Cadets is being asked to ndvlse the secretary, E. T. Applewhalte, or any member of the executive. The annual At Home is planned for June 24 when the presentation of trophies will take place. l'reddpnt .1. P. Woodslde was in the chair and the following were prps-.it: Mr.-. J. R. Doddle. M.rs. A.
