John

official
of
idea
of
becoming

New

will
be
added
to
the
Alaska
Steamship
fleet
Just
as
soon
as
It
is
possible
to
secure
them
after
the
war,
Mr.
Skinner
added.
He
also
pointed
out
that
while
his
company
will
dp
everything
possible
to
promote
post-war
tourist
travel
they
will
not
enter
Into

Skinner
believes
that
an
ex
tension
of
the
order
rescinding
the
Jones
Act
giving
permission
to
Canadian
ships
to
operate
throughout
Alaska
is
necessary
until
the
American
lines
are
able
to
give
the
proper

vice.
He
does
not
believe
it
is
possible
to

the

problem
with

until
after
the

If
business
warrants
the
use
of
car
ferries
they
will
be
used
after
the
war,
Mr.
Skinner
said.
Whether
passenger
fares
will
be
advanced
or
reduced
after
the
war
will
be
determined
by
labor
costs
of,
operating
ships
Skinner
declared.
He
also
said
that,
although
he
has
an
Interest
In
the
Northland

company,
It
is
being
operated
as
a

at

PETE
FISHER'S
LEADERSHIP
WINS
AWARD;
KILLED
SIX
GERMANS
How
Lieut.
Edward
Petry
Fisher,
son
of
Judge
and
Mrs.
V.
E.
Fisher
of
Prince
Rupert,
won
the
Military
Cross
for
gallantry
in
action
early
this
spring
on
the
western
front
in
Germany
is
told
in
a
citation
issued
by
the
Department
of
National
Defence
(Army)
today.
"Skilful
and
inspiring
leader-
snip"
enabled
a
platoon
led
oy
Lieut.
Fisher
to
reach
an
important
objective.
In
the
thick
of
a
fierce
fight
at
all
times,
the
local
officer
personally
accounted
for
six
of
the
enemy
with
rifle
and
grenades.
Here
Is
the
full
citation:
"On
March
8,
1945,
the
Fourth
Canadian
Infantry
Brigade
was
ordered
to
capture
the
southeastern
half
of
Xanten,
Germany,
the
hinge
of
the
German
screen
protecting
the
crossing
at
Wesel
and
the
one
remaining
escape
route'
across
the
Rhine.
The
task
of
the
Essex
Scottish
Regiment
was
to
break
into
the
northwestern
outskirts
of
the
town
and
secure
a
position
through
which
the
brigade
could
pass
another
regiment.
"A"
Company
attacked
on
the
left
of
the
regimental
front.
No.
88
platoon
commanded
by
Lieut.
Fisher
led
the
assault
on
the
extreme
left
flank.
Every
step
of
the
advance
was
bitterly
I'ought
but
under
skilful
and
in
spiring
leadership
of
Lieut.
Fisher
the
platoon
got
to
Its
objective.
"In
the.advance
a
large
number
of
the
enemy
was
killed
and
the
platoon
captured
thirty
prisoners.
Lieut.
Fisher
was
in
the
thick
of
the
fight
at
all
times
and
personally
accounted
for
six
of
the
enemy
with
his
rifle
and
grenades.
The
spirit
and
dash
of
this
attack
In
the
face
of
intense
mortar
and
small
arms
fire
from
a
cornered
and
desperate
enemy
completely
de
moralized
the
defenders
and
fired
the
balance
of
the
company
with
such
confidence
and
enthusiasm
that
the
remaining
objectives
were
quickly
taken.
Through
the
firm
base
estab
lished
by
the
impetus
and
dar
lng
of
this
initial
thrust
the
battalion
was
able
to
launch
the
remaining
companies
who
succeeded
in
destroying
the
enemy
before
he
had
recovered
from
the
shock
of
the
first
blow."
