This Sunday has been designated as nation-wide Day of Communion. All the forces of Pro testant Christianity are urged to at tend their respective churches and take part in this rite of Christian worship. It is especially fitting that we as Christians in this hour of the world’s history commemorate the suffering and death of the Son of God, fitting us spiritually to face and endure the widespread suffer ing of humanity in our world of today. To adequately bring peace among men we as a Christian peo ple must renew and strengthen our fellowship with the Christ of hu manity. This brings a challenge to Chris tian America which we cannot neg lect and continue to expect, the blessings of God to be with us. So we urge that all our people make special effort to attend services next Sunday, coming with prayer-hearts and sincere motives of worship. The suffering of the world also challenges the Christian nations of today to serve in very definite ways with a Christlike spirit to relieve the innocent of the hardships im posed upon the human race by war. Thus every member of the Metho dist church will be given opportuni ty to make a material contribution Sunday which will go partly to the evacuees of China, the war orphans and helpless ones of that brave peo ple. A part shall be used in the homeland is providing Christian literature and worship to our thou sands of men in the various branch es of the U. S. Service. Come with your prayers, sympathy and your money, and God’s blessings shall be youis. A. E. BARTON, Pastor.

NEWSPAPERS OF NATION SWING INTO SCRAP SALVAGE All over the United States a home front battle began on September 28 and wiil close Monday, October 17, to impress 13,000,000 people of the United States the necessity for routing out every ounce of scrap material from home, farm and fac tory . Farmers can aid in the scrap harvest program. He can comb every inch of his farm land for scrap material. He should search the lanes, creek beds, fence rows and farm buildings for scrap. Where possible he should dis mantle any machinery that is to oe turned into scrap. He should bring all of his scrap to a scrap dealer, R. S. Johnson. If he has a truck he should co operate in moving the scrap from neighboring farms. Merchants, professional men and industrialists can not only gather all the metal on their premises, but Urge others to do so and carry it to R. S. Johnson. The campaign! is on in Jackson County. John L. An derson, County Agent, and John N. Holder, Editor of The Jackson Her ald, have been called into service by the Government to aid the junk committee of this county of whim L. J. Lyle is chairman. Jefferson Rotary is giving its co operation, so is the Jefferson Cham ber of Commerce. Woman’s Club, Boy Scouts and Schools will be soldiers in this home front battle- The first person approached by one of the campaign aids was John C. Turner, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners of Jackson, who said “We will be glad to gath er every scrap of available metal at the County farm or elsewhere in our possession and deliver it to R. S. Johnson. Any service we can perform will be done with pleas ure.” R. J. Kelly, member of the Com mittee from Rotary said “We will see to it that R. E. A. delivers a'H material not fit for use by our organization to the scrap metal heap to help win the war which must be won.” Carl F. Porter, farmer and saw mill man, said “I will search dili gently on all my farms and about my saw mill for metal and deliver it to the proper person. Call on me for anything else I can do to serve my country.” A patriotic citizen said “If we, as Americans, allow one steel furnace to go down for lack of scrap, we should have a guilty conscience. “There are two ways of getting in the scrap. J “One is to hire a government crew and go out and take it. That is the dictator way. “The other is to arouse the Ameri can people so that they will give it. I have found that conscience is the greatest dictator in the world. “The people must be galvanized into action. Wonders can be ac complished in getting in these scrap materials. “It has to be done. “The war has to be won, doesn’t it?” Let everybody get busy and make a success of gathering this material for our country. It is a campaign in which every one hefe at home can take part. Let there be no slackers. Anew method of making cans of wood pulp fiber without chang ing the machines formerly used for making tin-steei cans, has been de veloped by the American Can Com pany as part of the war metal sav ing program.
