Prince Edward Island put in I big day's work on the Victory Loan yesterday and drew appreciably nearer to leaching the objective set ior the Province.

In the final days oi the cam- paign with province after prov- ince across Canada attaining their objectives and the total for the Do- minion well in advance of the minimum needed the people of Prince Edward Island have come to the iull realization oi all that is involved in the result. The boys in the fighting services must nor. be let down, the loan must be well oversubscribed. Hitler must be shown that nothing matters now but victory ior us and death for 111m, and the Commando dag- gers reserved for each the three counties oi Prince Edward Island must be forwarded to units oversfigs oi whéch Isiandgge llnake up t prqpon eran nu l‘ .

King's County had funds in sight yesterday to pass its’ 0b- jective and while last nights i18- ures do not show a total as great as the objective it is only because oi the lag in the receipt by mail at loan headquarters oi the appli- cations. King's County is def- initely the first county in lh Prqvince, the first Commando dagger unit, to go over the top.

King's County yesterday also set up another record which will take a bit of beating. The record was made by Mr. Harry Francis, loan solicitor 1n the Bay Fortune '11s- trict.

Mr. Amos Gallant, 56-year-old former of Oyster Bed Bridge was killed in what police said was a fight in a backyard on Richmond Street in Charlottetown yesterday afternoon. Iless than two hours later City Police arrested Frank Knockwood, 29-year-old Indian, at Scotchfort, and are holding nim 0h l! dhflrlle oi murder. Hls brother Pte. David Knockwood, was also taken into custody and is being held as a material witness,

The fight in which Mr. Galiant was killed took place in the bsick yard oi the Richmond House, police said. It followed an argument wlfch started in the house. One of the eyewitnesses to the fight was the aged father oi’ the deceased, Mr. Daniel Gallant oi Charlottetown. The man's face was battered and covered with blood.
