A rain day failed to dampen the ent usiasm o! the Victory Loan canvassers yesterday for they went to work with zeal and de- termination and rolled up the magnificent total for the province to $878,350 or considerable more than half the objective of $1,500,- 000 set for Prince Edward Island.

But it was hats off to summer- side whose workers were last eve- ning congratulated from all dir- ectlons on having actually exceed- ed their objective for the cam- paign b $15,000 which means that they wii be awarded "a first hon- or pennant" which will be added to the pledge flag. T0 the chair- man J. LcRoy Holman and all the citizens of the capital of Prince County go warmest congratulations from everyone in the province, for their achievement will be publish- ed from one end of this proud do- minion to the other and many who are unfamiliar or only slight- . ly familiar with the town of Summerslde will now know and recognize it. as a town to be ad- mired and honored.

Charlottetown workers were not by any means idle and in a. good canvass rolled their total up to $348,200 which means that in the remaining days of the campaign they should easily attain their ob- jectlve of $550000. Prince County foo, other than summerslde. no doubt emulated by the success of their leading town ended the day with a total of $112,100 a figure considerable in excess of Queen's

Casoiinc shortage Definitely faces Canadian people

OVITAWA. June 10—(C'P)-Can- ada, it was learned on high auth- ority today, definitely faces the prospect oi’ a gnsollne shortage in some areas and prospects are some curtailment of consumption will be ordered in the nerir future. to ensure that supplies are available for iiccessitous rise.

Areas most, affected are the Marltimes, Quebec and Ontario rind British Columbia, the provin- ces most dependent ori supplies brought to the Dominion by tank-

er.

The Prairie Provinces are served in large measure from the Turner valley oll fields and the United States by tank car. 1

Ontario gets most of its supplies from the middle western states by pipeline and tank cars but this supply will have to be used to cover a wider area than is cus- tomary and accordingly Ontario will feel the pinch to a certain extent.

Already George T. Cottrclle cf Toronto. the Dntniuioirs oil con- troller, has indicated a shortage was in prospect in some areas but here it was learned that Can- ada is planning to follow the lead of the United States in taking action to ensure supplies for es- sential use.

In the Uultcd Slates ihcre have been suggestions of instituting

sirmptlou. Just how this would be

the plan goes into the United States steps will have been taken to meet all contingen- cies. such as motorists stocking up with extra gas on Saturday to take care of a gasless sunday.

Opposition deg-embed as “fifty- fifty” slows advance into Syria; Free French forces expect

CAIRO, June 10-(Wednesday)—(AP)-Smail British naval parties landed on the Lebanese coast to seize con- trol 0f bridges and other viizil points ahead 0f the allied troops zidviiucing on the capital of Beirut, it was reported here today.

Some of these units were reported to have seized the bridge over the Liiani River, 40 miles south 0f Beirut, when pro-Vichy troops fried to destroy it. They held it and fziciliiiiicil the crossing of the British and Free French land forces.

Farther inland in French-mandated Syria other allied columns were reported within sight of Damascus, the Syrian capital. Last reports said they were within 10 miles of the ancient city.

"Fifty-fifty" opposition slowed sources said.

It remained to be seen whether resistance would be offered outside the Syrian capital, a British spokesman said toniizht. while Free French sources said the troops are expected to enter the city tonight or early tomorrow.

With two drives launched against Damascus, a third column was proceeding against Beirut, capital of Iicbanon, Syria's mandated twin under French rule. Authorities said these troops were making good progress, hill they declined i0 siiy how for they hail gone.
