NEW TRANSPORTATION PICTURE YjfE rather imagine that the possi-vii bility of a pulp and paper mill -;ng established in Ketchikan has ir ed considerable talk in Seattle hipping circles already, says the Ketchikan (Alaska) Chronicle. The carriers won't want any development occurring that tends to divert cargo from their established coastal operations. Yet it is well known that the U. S. forest service in its years of surveying and planning for pulp-paper production has figured on us-in"- the Canadian National Railways railhead at Prince Rupert as the spearhead into the rich midwest newsprint; and paper market. . The advantage, of course, is that under equalized freight rates now governing-, the midwest market can buy from or ship to Rupert for the same rail tariff as to or from Seattle. That means that the establishment of a car ferry between Rupert and Ketchikan would give us close to terminal rates, which Seattle cannot hope to offer. Then most of our fresh and frozen fish would go out through Rupert and a large part of the wholesale business of Alaska would come in through Rupert, with warehouses probably being, established in Ketchikan instead of, as at present, Seattle. That would mean much to the First City. We don't pretend to know the shipping game but if its operators are smart turkey they had better set up some high'ly attractive rates for transporting paper out of Alaska. Not that we want to see the car ferry project, which has been a dream for' so. long," face an early death. We simply are weary of Seattle being shortsighted in its dealings with Alaska. Officials of the Alcoa Mining Company,' which now has about 5(J persons at, yprk at Edna Bay, plan to contract with Foss Tug and Barge or a similar barge operator to carry limestone rock "from the Edna Bay quarry) which i being developed rapidly, to markets in Oregon and Washington. Yet the three existing carriers need the return load such things as limestone and paper would provide. It should be possible for them to create a rate structure to handle tthis cargo and make a little on it. If they can't, of course, they may open the way to creation, of new shipping facilities such as the car ferry to Rupert that will revolutionize the entire Alaskan transportation picture. This revolution not only would bring railroad cars into Alaskan ports for unloading and reloading but it also would let tourists drive the grounds. "Keep off the grass" signs were also moved from the lawns and scattered about. "There is no particular objection to outdoor recreation, particularly since we are so close to the Civic Centre, but we do think the young people should be careful about the gardens," tivities .lich as ball playing on says Mr. Bayne. 70 i mimm nwM to Rupert or Haines and take the ferry from one port to the other, truckers pick up perishables at Haines for hauling into interior towns, and would make Ketchikan a major distributing point. Better yet, it might help the First city sell its ores, shingles and lumber in the midwest market. DECISIVE ACTION PAYS OFF action had at least deferred DECISIVE another serious industrial tie-up in the United States at the end of the week when the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, at the eleventh hour, postponed their nationwide walkout. President Truman had taken over the railways of the nation and called on the Army to assist in operating them after the railway managements and the unions had failed to compose their differences. Meanwhile the truce in the soft coal miners' strike has entered the second of its scheduled two weeks and the coal miners are due to walk off their jobs again this week-end unless an agreement is reached. No doubt, if such an agreement is not reached, the President will take action on the mines similar to that which staved off the railway strike. Similarly, there are signs that government action in connection with the British Columbia timber workers' strike, most serious current industrial tie-up in Canada today, may likewise lead to an arrangement for ending the now five-day-old strike. The week thus opens with a much more pleasant outlook as far as the industrial picture is concerned unless we are inclined to worry about the implications that may be involved by the failure of the two sides to industrial disputes to be able to settle their differences, thus paving the way for the virtual nationalization of industry in order to keep it going. We seem to be getting nearer to socialization all the time whether we like it or not. ) : COMMUNICATION" MILESTONE TOMORROW will be one of the most ! ' important days in the history of civil communication services in this; part of the country for it will mark the opening between Vancouver at one end and Prince Rupert on the. other of all-land line long distance commercial telephone service through central British Columbia. This is the day set for the actual putting into operation of the peacetime service of Pacific Communications System from Prince Rupert through Prince George to Vancouver. The service to such intermediate points as Terrace, H a z e 1 1 o n , Smithers, Burns Lake, etc., will soon, no doubt, be actually effected as well. The benefits of the service will become more apparent as it comes fully into use. Meanwhile, we are making progress with the times in another important way.

Opinion was expressed that employees of the city have not kept themselves up-to-date in regard to apprenticeship devel opments and are still depending on the hlt-or-mlss policy of keeping their industries'supplied wth-skilled help. ?It was also feftY.that "Ihe youth &(' the city should realize the value Of the apprenticeship system.

There are man; advalitage f0r the re'rh -'plovers', Jnthd.4 regulations jnj which both the provincial and the Dominion governments are interested. ' ihe value of counselling was also stressed, .Col., Hamilton Grant of the' Department of Vet erans' AfLairs quoted specific examples where, by the use of modern tests, the aDtitude of individuals could be established. They could then be directed to the kind of work for which they vere best suited. The success of the scheme was being more and more widely recognized by re turning veterans who, by reason of their four or five years away from civilian activities, were In a splendid position to know its value. It was agreed by the committee that the place for much of this counselling was In the High Schools. Trained counsellors familiar with local condi tions, Industries and possibilities could be of inestimable benefit to the boys and girls of the High Schools. In reply to an enquiry from the local committee, H. A. Jones, Director of Technical Education for the Provincial Department of Education, sitated that it was hoped to send to all school boards within the next two weeks details of the Vocational Schools' Assistance Agreement, an announcement by the Mln- ister cf Education was expected soon and the matter of expansion of Vocational Training In the Prince Rupert High School would be Indicated. A. M. Crawley of the local boat firm of Crawley and Didrlcksen was present In response to the invitation of the committee. He said he was very definitely In terested in the matter of naming apprentices. There was a worthwhile future for the lad who was willing to learn the tiade thoroughly. The matter of W3ges paid was certainly an im portant consideration but for the early part of the tralnln ihe lad should not expect the wages of an Improver or Jour neyman. Increases would be given as the lad showed iin provement and increased inter est in the work. J. S. Black, for organized labor, also emphasized the need for skilled men. The matter of apprenticeship training h a d. been frequently before the unions. They would be glad to co-operate In any move to en-Sure the training of competent workers for the different Indus trlejs. JJaturally wages would have to be made attractive but the learning of a trade was on of lie best Investments a youn? man could make. . The office supervisor of Un employment Insurance for the province, C. Cole, was present and expressed his pleasure at being able to be in attendance. Speaking from experience in other centres Mr. Cole felt that value of experienced counselling in the schools by persons familiar with practical conditions of the various industries could hardly be exaggerated. He congratulated the local commit tee on its activities. E. Victor Whiting, manager of the local employment, and H. J. WhUftn were also present. J, S. Wilson was In the chair. xDETTOL' THI MODIRN ANIISIPTIC GENERAL FIRST AID GARGLE for Sore Throat PERSONAL USES 50c & $1.50 It ORMES LIMITED Pioneer Druggists FOUR LOCAL VETERANS PRINCE RUPERT DECORATORS Let us hang your wallpaper or do that interior decorating.

Not all the worksrs here are union men but the nonunion men evidently felt they should go out with the crowd. Camps are all closed, so are the mills. The town is quiet and, although small groups of loggers stand about on the streets, everything is orderly. About 300 men are affected by the strike here. Oh, OH, MOON! moon! How beautiful you are!
