Thomas H. Steichen, general man
ager of the Central Exchange, pointed
out that the Central Exchanges con-
sistently high record of savings was
largely due to it's vertical integrated

This, he explained, is the control

through which raw material passes
in becoming a finished product
from the primary source of supply to
the hands of the consumer. The own
ers of the Central Exchange, he said,
wisely pooled their resources with
other co-ops in large producing, pro-
cessing and manufacturing companies
that supply the Central Exchange
with much of it's products. These in

Doering Fails
Miller Wins Student
Teacher Ratio Fiqhf

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Harriet Miller won her fight to
maintain the 80 to one student
teacher classroom load standard at
the Board of Education meeting
Tuesday. The School Board Associa-
tion's attempt to lower these stand
ards at both the elementary and high
school levels, spearheaded by DR..
Gordon Doering and given tacit ap-
proval by Gov. Don Nutter, met de-
feat when the committee from the
School Board Association gave APP
proval TO the new specifications for
accrediting schools.
School boards are especially sensi-
tive to the press reports of their
schools being given warnings but
Miss Miller's office can not forewarn
them of actions of the Board of Edu-
cation. Even she can never be sure
what recommendations will be forth
coming from the board.
The school standards remain essen
TALLY the same except for minor
language changes to conform with
existing practices.-FS

cations of this public takeover are
not yet apparent but the expropriat-
ing is definitely connected with the
Ottawa-BC hassle, according to news
reports and commentaries in Cana
dian papers.
Canadian provinces, unlike our
states, apparently have a veto power
over certain types of international
agreements in instances where region
al interests are affected. In this case,
the government of British Columbia
takes the position that the Canadian
u. S. treaty is adverse to the most
propitious development of BC's re-
sources and all-around prosperity,
and certain guarantees must be given
by Ottawa before the province will
recede from its opposition to the
treaty.
Because it is Canadian national
policy NOT to sell power outside the
country's borders, and because that
is just exactly what BC's government
desires to do, the treaty could be held
up for months and even years.
BIC contends that Control over
the disposition of downstream power
benefits should be vested in the prov
ince before ratification" This policy
position, according to the EDMON-
TON JOURNAL sis interpreted as
an ultimatum to Ottawa. Canadian
Justice Minister Fulton contends the
stand of the province is very possibly
contrary to the treaty..

Illinois Legislature
Requests Commission
Probe Electric Rates
Electric Consumers Information Comm

Electric Consumers Information Comm.
In an unusual action, the Illinois
legislature recently passed a resolu-
ton requesting the state Commerce
Commission to conduct or cause to
be conducted complete and independ-
emit electric rate studies throughout
Illinois,"
The resolution noted that sit has
been the practice in the past that all
electric rate studies have been con-
Quoted by public utilities rather than
the Illinois Commerce Commission.
But, the resolution added, "the con-
sumers of electricity in Illinois would
be more fairly treated if such rate
studies were conducted" by the COM
mission itself.
While the resolution is not binding
upon the state regulatory agency, it
serves notice that the legislature is
concerned with rising electric rates.
AS of January 1, 1860, average
residential bill for $50 kilo-
watt-hours of electricity in Illinois
was $7.76-32 cents higher than the
average of $7.44.

redeemed for cash has scared to
