Ferry

Best Available Says Head

promised this

fall to give better winter performance and more pas- senger space. Double Ferry service for next Summer.

"we are gping to look after the people of Prince Edward Island all right. so for as winter transporta- tion is concerned," was the assur- ance given Mr. R. C. Vaughan, President an General Manager of the Canadian National Railways, in an interview with a Guardian representative last night at The Charlottetown.

Mr. Vaughan and party arrived last evening on his first inspection tour since his new appointment

this morning.

The loss of the S. S. “Charlotte. town." Mr. Vaughan said, was a heavy blow, but the old steamer, the “Prince Edward Island," was in as good condition as ever, and was a more satisfactory boat than could be obtained elsewhere.

"I do not think there will be any trouble with the Prince Edward Island." he said emphatically. “It would be impossible, even if it should be considered desirable to do so, to have a new ferry built during the war, because a‘1 the yards are very busily engaged with building minesweepers. corvettes or cargo boats. And there ls no other ferry available which would perform this winter service that we know of. ~

Mr. W. U. Appleton. Regional Vice President and General Man- ager, Moncton. was present at the interview and confirmed Mr. Vaughaws statement. He said he had "no doubt at all" that the “Prince Edward Island" would fulfi'l the winter requirements.

"We handled more traffic in 1929 with the present boat than we ever had in any subsequent. winter." he declared.

“Would you say the boat was in as good condition now as she was in 1929?" he was asked.

The reported crossing of the lower Dnleper River biY German and Hungarian forces may frre- cast fast-moving developments

Somewhat overshadowed for the moment by events else- where, what is taking place in the Ukraine tends to bear out Berlin's repeated claims that operations are proceeding "ac- cording to plan."
