Vilhelm Roger Sch-jelderup, formerly of Smilhers, the Distinguished Service Order has been made public by the Canadian Army. The action took place near Aarderburg, Holland last October and materially assisted the establishment of a Canadian bridsehead on the Leopold Canal which later led to the comnlete destruction of Qer man forces on the south bank of the Scheldt estuary. Capt. Schjelderup is the son o! Vilhelm Schjelderup, gov ernment land surveyor at Court ney. Vancouver Island, and .formerly of Smlthers. Previous iy decorated with the Military Cross, he was an Acting Major when he won the Distinguished Service Order. The citation reads: "On Octcibcd 7. 1914. in the village of Oosthock, near Aar denburg, Holland, at approxlma telv 4:45 am., a German coun ter attack, approximately 150 In strength, overran "C" Company. commanded by Cap. Schjelder up. and completely surrounded .Company Headquarters. This action lasted for two and a-hali hours; with the enemy throwing grenades In the windows, and flrinar -tracer bullets into the building in an attempt to set it on fire. The small party under command of fcapt. Schjelderup continued to fight on, killing or wounding thirty of the enemy and were only overwhelmed; when all their ammunition was exhausted, and the building was burning to the ground about them. i. t . . By his outstanding action, CaDt. Schjelderup definitely nrevented a breakthrough to the Lecpold Canal, and materially! assisted the establishment on the bridgehead which later led to the complete destruction or the German forces cn Xher soutn bank of the Scheldt Estuary. CaDt. Schjelderup was deter mined to escape with his com panions. During the time the eoods van in which they were confined as prisoners of war was standing on a siding, he ana Ret. Armando Gri were able to plan their escape. On October 23, 1944, when the train moved on for the prisoner of war camp, Capt. Schjelderup and his com panions broke out, and made their escape. Seventy-five days later, on January 6, 1945, Capt. Schjelderup and two compan ions, after an exhausting Jour ney over the' Ice and snow, re turned to our lines bringing valuable information."

LABOR and ELECTIONS This nation's largest lahor orgnization, the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, has thrown its support behind the return of the King Government. In a letter recently released for publication, its Political Action Committee, without mentioning the name of the party, strongly advised the 350,000 members of its various unions to vote and work for re-election of the present administration. The unions which make up the Trades and Labor Congress are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The letter, signed by the Political Action Committee chairman, Ernest Ingles, London, Ont., impliedly declares that the King Government can be trusted to implement its election pledges and warns against putting inexperienced groups into power at this time. ; The letter says, in part, as follows: ,"We have now reached the period of return from, wartime to peacetime economy. The experience gained In moving from peace to war, will prove of Incalculable value In making the transition from war to peace. During the period from peace to war, certain obligations were accepted by the Government as to what will be the procedure when the time arrives to go forward to worthwhile peacetime economy. The value of these pledges Is enhanced by the fact that the Administration had the experience of going through the war period, and therefore, they, will have a better Idea of how to redeem those pledges which they themselves gave. "We are placed In the position of being called . upon to determine who can Implement those promises best those who know the reason for the dislocation, or those who' could only guess at the reason, but who are not In the possession of facts and experience. "Those who made those pledges; must be given the opportunity to redeem them. They are charged with that responsibility. They must be given the opportunity of keeping faith with the people and establish a peacetime economy' that will ensure a free, full and happy life. "There Is a danger that a new group, put into power at this time, Would institute policlesthat might have no relation whatever to the pledges that an overwhelming number of people of this country have out their faith In." . . Vole to retain the services of those who have the needed knowledge and experience. Vote Liberal Vote ApplewKaite Published by the Skeena Federal Liberal 'Association.
