UPWARDS TO GOAL Subscriptions Moved $11,- 593,000 Nearer Objective; Employees Help Ottawa, Sept. 19. -- Subscriptions | for Canada's Second War Loan moved $11,593,800 nearer the $300,- 000,000 objective yesterday and total subscriptions to date stood last night at $282,940,000. The day was marked by the great number of individual subscriptions placed. While no definite closing date for orders has been fixed, it was in- dicated last night that the loan! books would remain open until the end of this week. Wednesday's increase of $11,593 - 800 in cash subscriptions compared with an increase of $10,048,100 Tuesday. Agencies throughout the country continued to report active response to 'appeals on behalf of | the loan. | A feature of today's reports was | a number of employee subscriptions. Among these were the employees of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, which company is itself Another such subscription came from employees of Montreal Tramways Company. The largest corporation subscrip- tion of the day was from Canadian Gypsum Co. Ltd, wholly owned subsidiary of United States Gyp.- sum Co., for $250,000. It was also announced that the Locomotive Engineers' Mutual Life end Accident Insurance Association of Cleveland, Ohio, had purchased $25,000 of Dominion of Canada 3 per cent bonds, due June 1, 1953. The United States Neutrality Act precludes the association from buy- ing war bonds. The bonds pur- chased were issued before Canada's declaration of war. APPROVE IDEA OF JOINT CAMPAIGN FOR WAR SERVICES Oshawa Anticipates Gen- eral Move in This Direc- tion, Report Indicates In deciding on a joint campaign for all recognized war services, as well as a number of local organi- zations, Oshawa has anticipated a general move in this direction. This is indicated by press reports from Ottawa where a conference was held recently attended by Hon. G. G. Gardiner, Minister of War Services, and representative of vari- ous Canadian charitable organiza- tions. At this conference the ad- visability of combining a number of appeals now being made for public support was favorably con- sidered. In a statement issued at the close of the meeting, Mr. Gardiner said: "The conference had an exhaustive discussion of the necessities for cutting down the number of appeals made to the public on behalf of war and community services, It was the general opinion that if a united drive for war seivices could be made it would meet with the approval of the Canadian public." The Minister said that the fact that the Red Cross appeal was al- ready under way made it difficult to undertake such a united effort across Canada immediately. "It was thought," he said, that a cut- | off date might be set when the principle of a united appeal could be put into effect."

He added that no hint as to the nature of the device couid be given for reasons of national security.
