With this issue we are starting another series of printed photo pages which we trust will appeal to our readers. In the near future, we hope to include not only pictures in connection with our fleet lists, but also some that are associated with current news items or our feature articles.

We are also resuming our regular fleet lists and we kick off this series with a history, by our President, of Gydnia America Lines one of the companies serving the Port of Montreal. As with Volume II, we shall be alternating lake and ocean fleet lists since this will give us an opportunity of pleasing both our fresh and salt water fans. We have already started work on the other fleet lists to be used this year, but if any of our readers have fleets which they would like to see written up in this newsletter, we would be pleased to prepare something for a later issue.

A lot of work goes into the preparation of each issue of SCANNER and accordingly we would like to thank those who have provided articles, information or moral support. In addition to the Society's Executive, our thanks go to Dave Glick, John Greenwood, Capt. John Leonard, Paul Sherlock, John Vournakis, Bill Luke, Skip Gillham, Capt. Dick Farley, and Betty Blake Simcox (Greene Line Steamers, Inc.), also to Dick Turner
