The decision was as sudden as pt was gratifying and the fact that it was made after all is a reassuring indication of ability to compromise and agree on general principles, something that we had been commencing to despair about gcther. iy 'Afterall the bickerings of the .Big Four"'conferences over Trie.Qt?, the.Italiaii reparations to Russia and such matters, it is to be hoped that differences have been composed to sufficient extent that the larger conference to de 1 with the general bringing about f world peace will be able ixton .with) the business of really ending 'the war which we must remember is still only suspended by armistice. : SENIOR MATRICULATION IT IS NOT a very creditable state of affairs that a centre of the' importance which Prince Rupert professes, it having bewi even suggested, at times that this might be made the seat of some sort of an advanced -educational centre, is hav-ingidif fioulty in getting even a senior matriculation class established in connection , with its High School- However, after a lapse of two years, the situation may be rectified now that the board of school trustees ha3 signified its readiness to offer the first-year university course here for i; foe of $100 providing sufficient lupils come forward, the minimum number of ten having been suggested. Fortunately, a large number of Prince Rupert people have been affluent enough to be able to send their elder children away for the first academic year. It might not be so easy, however, for some deserving students who simply have not the means. It seems a pity that they .should be denied this extra year of education in a supposedly up-to-date and progressive city. Senior matriculation should be a matter of course in a community of the size, importance and position of Prince Rupert. It is to be hoped that it will now be re-established and maintained here. SENATE APPOINTMENT THE PRINCE RUPERT Chamber ' of Commerce takes timely and justified action in urging upon Prime Minister Mackenzie King that the claim of the northern part of the province to representation in the Senate be recognized in connection with the filling of three vacancies for British Columbia which now exist. There is worthy material in this part of the country which would adorn and enhance the councils of the Upper Chamber, material which is well deserving from the stanpoint of public service for elevation thereto. This district is sadly lacking in the councils of government at the present time and it would be an appropriate and graceful gesture by Mr. King if he would act upon the suggestion of the Chamber in the making of the senatorial appointments which will probably be forthcoming soon. wood anrlmllKiupplies. arid any other :onaumer services required.

LOG OUTPUT DOWN IN JUNE Strike Affected Production in This Area During Junp. 1946 With logging activity paralyzed for part of the month by the lumbermen's strike, the log scale for June in the Prince Rupert forestry district was only about one-third of that for the same month last year and down an equal amount from the scale for May of this year.

Matheson show that the sawlog scale for June totalled 15.958.883 board feet as against 21,073,836 board feet for June, 1945, and 21,802,248 board feet for May, 1946.

O'NEILL'S POSITION Editor, Dally News: In order that your report in Thursday's Issue of the Dally News regarding a senior matriculation class In the liaolh Memorial High School may lead to no misunderstanding as to my attitude. I wish to make the following .statement: I am very pleased with the decision arrived at by the School Board for I have always advocated and encouraged the holding of senior matriculation classes In our High School. In oral reports to the secretary of the School Board and to the In-1 .-pector of Schools, I stated that we were not likely to have a 'special classroom to register a senior matriculation class a.s the small room formerly used for senior matriculation is new used as a drafting room. I pointed out, however, that this grade cculd be registered with another class, and could circulate as a separate class from room to room. I also stated very definitely that we ought to have a senior matriculation class if at all possible, u such a class would add to ike prestige of the schcol. W. W. C.

INFLATION IN KETCHIKAN (Continued from Page 1) who returned today, took substantial Jumps when price controls were dropped. One Ketchl- i kan resident told of having her room rent hoisted from $30 to $110 a month on July 2 while another recounted, without much apparent concern, how his had been raised from $60 to $90 a month. In Ketchikan the chicken's dignity reaches sublime heights and the lowly hot dog assumes a platinum-plated value. A fried egg costs 35 cents in all restaurants while the hot dog hao a 25-cent price tag and spread your own mustard. A sirloin steak, which in Canada commands a top price of I $1.25, sells for $2.50 and $2.75 in Ketchikan. Theatre prices are about 75 per cent higher than j those of Prince Rupert. ! Ketchikanites j Not Woriied Apparently the danger of an endless flight into the realms of inflation doesn't bother the average Ketchikan resident. At J least no apprehension in that legard was inaicatea in conversations with them. Wages and salaries prior to the dropping of price controls, it seems were sufficiently substantial to absorb a considerable rise in prices before wage earners begin to feel the pinch. So far they have not.
