Viktor Kaczkowski gave a memorable show dea­ ling with the old canallers, the Seaway construction, and the drowned vil­ lages. All present really enjoyed the presentation and we thank Viktor for his efforts in putting it all together for us. We regret to inform our members that there will be no January issue of "Scanner". Your Editor's personal schedule over the holidays precludes putting a January issue together, and not having it will give us more time to work on the February issue, which will, as usual, include the lay-up listings. But even if there is no January issue, there most certainly will be a January entertainment meeting. In the New Member Department, we extend a most hearty welcome to R. W. Rick Redmond, of Sherwood Park, Alberta. We hope you enjoy your membership in the Toronto Marine Historical Society. And to all members, best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. * * * * * * * Executive Committee Jay N. Bascom Roger Chapman Capt. G. Ouderkirk R. F. Beaupre Lorne Joyce G.
