The German patro boat Foehn was sent down under the crashing fire of the cruise-r and several de- stroyers as they bore down on the isolated Norwegian coast, the com- rmuiique continued, but not until after the patrol boat in e ‘heroic strusllfi” had shot down one of the warm of attacking bombers.

The British warships also sank several Norwegian coastal steam- ships in their attack.

_Nazi sources, elaborating on the llliill command account of the raid which they claimed to be nothing more than "an adventurous epi- sode!’ pointed out the character of the Norwegian coast offers op- portunities for landing attempts, "particularly in the winter months with their continual darkness. when fog envelope the entire coast."

‘The few German outposts and advance positions." they explained "are open to surprise attacks. It is vacssible for the enemy to land there, but a, brief counter-attack suffices to force the landing troops to withdraw to their ships unless they are risking complete annvilla- tion. This also was the situation in this latest enemy attempt."

On the Russian front. the high command claimed the destruction of three more small transports and the damaging of four others and a gunboat in the narrow straits of Kerch by strong dive bomber formations. Thr- Iiich command cloimcd Saturday that four trans- ports were sunk and five damaged in that passage between the Cri- mea and the Caucasus.

Breaches in the German lines 1n the southern sector of the front were closed and the Russians thrown back by a determined coun- tcr-attack in which not only Ger- mans but also Italians. Slovaks, Daucs. Finns. Netherlnrfers and Norwegians participated, ‘I-e high communal claimed. Mo" of the oth- er nationalities were dcscribai in the communique as “v’olunteors" in a Viking division.

It will mark lVir. Churchill's first appearance in one of the overseas dornlnions since his elevation to the post of plrlime minister in the dark days of e fall of France.

The British Prime Minister is well-known here from earlier visits when he was a forceful private member of the British House oi" Commons.

His Tuesday speech to members of Parliament will be broadcast over national and international radio networks and at night he, vrith members of the cabinet, will be the guest of Prime Minister Mackenzie King at dinner.

Coming as he does from moment- ous conferences at Washington in which Mr. King‘ as well as repre- sentative: of te other dominions and allied countries participated. Mr. Churchill's message to the Par- liament and public of Canada is eagerly awaited,

Mr. B. Graham cm, ru rvi- sor of the Prinoengdgivard fiend ‘Travel Bureau. who was on the morning and afternoon trip to Sackville was warm in his praise of the officials f the Canadian National Railways. The conditions they were up against were bad, slum as lack of equipment, insuf~ ficient space on the ferry and om- er difficulties. The conductors and iffllllmfifl 0n the Island reruns and on the trains from Cape formerl- tine to Snckvillc were most, court- eous and Mr. Rogers noted many favorable comments from passen- gers on the work of these men. However he thought the greatest praise should go to Captain Mc- Guire snd crew of the carferry. The passageways on ilrc ferry were so crowded that many passengers got in and out of the dining room fhrougfh the windows, The large crowd was very orderly and there was no rowdyism of any kind.

It is believed that when the Car- fcrry carried over the 105th Regi- ment during the inst war and on one occasion of a Harvest Excur- sion, also during {he last war, there were more people on the boat. at one time than on Saturday. For regular passenger trips, however. Saturday sets an all time moors movement of passmigcrs to and from this Province for n single day.

Saturday's experience demon- strates the need of rushing to com- pletion the new passenger accom- modation on the ferry. It. also showed once again the necessity of pressing for a new and larger boat for this very vital service.
