P.E.l. Bond Sales Reach $290,300

The grand total of tabulated ap- plications ioi‘ the 'l‘liiru victory Loan in Prince Edward island at the closing hour on the third day oi the campaign amounted to satosoo.

Oi this amount. SILIXIIIICPSIQBB w- tal is $491.10 with the remainder of rrlnoc County accounting for $30.-

Clharlottetowifs total is up to 31451350, Queen's County outside o Charlottetown reports $20,900 and Kinds County to date has reported applications for $30,100. _

A big item for wliicn application was received yesterday was the one hundred thousand dollars which the Provincial Government is purchas- lnl; for its sinking fund.

Yesterday there was turned in at Loan Headquarters by Mr. Iaster Kaiser. salesman at York. the first application under the Victory Tic- ket plan for farmers.

Under this plan. being tried for the first time in the Third Victory Loan, any farmer may pledge the delivery oi farm produce or _live stock ln payment for a. bond or bonds. delivery of the produce or stock to be made at any date prior to February ‘s8, i943. ‘rnis first ap- plication under this plan pledged delivery of two hundred bushels of certified §reen Mountain seed potatoes.

The bond salesman at North Wilt-

ire. . George ill. McLean, created a new record for himself by turning in the first applications for War Savings Certificates purchased by individuals who could not poss- gsly undertake the purchase of a

rid.

One application was from a lady in the country who had for some time been carefully saving every possible penny towards the purchase oi a new fur coat. But realizing the urgent need of every available dol- lar with which to win the war she decided to do without the new wilt. suffer from cold if need be. and instead loan her fur coat money to the Government for the purchase oi war supplies. Thais the spirit and the action which will hasten the day of Victory.

Whatever the reason for the slow-motion pace of Japan's attempt to regain lost ground in the Solomons, it is so striking a departure from evious rnctiee as to invite conjecture.

The mplication is that the enemy is forced to move with extreme caution. For the first time, except for abortive attacks in New Guinea.

LONDON, Oct. 2I--(AP) -—-Flying Foriresses on their longest foray of the war in Europe cascaded bombs today upon Lorielit, Nazi submarine base 0n the Breton coast of France from which U-boztts prey on Atlantic shipping. It was their first attack on oc- cupied France since the mass rztitl on Lille Oct. 9.

Three bombers were of f i- cially reported 10st. The Fortresses roared at

least 30o miles across the Eng- lish Channel and Brittany to reach their target at Loricut. Further, they bombed a Ger- man airdromc at Maupertlts, near Cberbourg, which is at the northern tip of the Cotcnlin Peninsula jutting out from Normandy and just across the channel from Southampton.

At the same time, British Mus- tangs and Mosquitos attacked targets in western Germany and Ho! and in daylight raids. It was the second successive day the R. A. F. was over Germany.

The Nazis use Mattpertus air- drome as the base for their long- range bombers and scouting lanes which oo-operale with su nur- lnes in attacks on Atlantic ship- ping lanes.
