Warning That Third
Reich Will Be Scourged
From End To End.
Hamburg, Germany's greatest
port and most heavily guarded
city, was battered Tuesday night
for the second time in three nights
by the RAF with a runious rain
of explosives and incendiaries in
a raid perhaps again on a 600-piane
scale.
The thunder of bombs in the
already hard hit submarine build
ing center drove home Air Mar
shal Sir Arthur T. Harris' grim
pomise: “We are going to scourge
the Third Reich from end to end."
The raid, the RAF announced,
cost 32 bombers—three more than
the number of planes lost in the
Sunday night attack which re
turning pilots compared in de
structive force to the 1,000-plane
bombing of Bremen last month.

“This means,” Mr. Statham said,

will be eligible for full govern

Mr. Staham pointed out tnat this
change in no way affects market

Conservation Program.
“The provision which refers to

j Urges Every Home
Scrap Metals,
Progressive shortages in assent -

bring more forcibly to every home
what President Roosevelt termed
the need of a greater realization
of the seriousness of war.
Asking full civilian participa
lion in a scrap salvage drive and
warning of forthcoming shortages
in many foods, the President said
at a press conference this week
that the situation had yet to be
realized by many people in the
country.
He declared that while there
would be no general food shortage,
many specific items available now
would be lacking later. A current
shortage of meats in some areas,
he added, was symptomatic of

future,
The President attributed the
lack of meat to the fact that the
armed services have grown to
about 4,000,000 men, with a great
er consumption of meat than in
normal times; purchase of more
and better cuts by people with
more money to spend and arrival
of the off-season for beef.
Describing as an opportunity for
every persons to take a personal
part in the war efort, the Pre
sident called upon families to ran
sack cellars, attics and backyards
for old metal, rubber, and he
urged that waste fats be turned
over to meat markets.
The lack of raw materials, Mr.
Roosevelt added, is in many ways
a seriously limiting factor in war
production. The more scrap turned
in, he said, the greater the out
put of planes, tanks and guns.
The President said he still was
scrutinizing the inflation prob
lem but was not ready to an
nounce his next step. Information
on the subject he said, was being

Located in Newton County, 36
miles from Atlanta and near Cov

From babies in.arms to dodder
ing grannies, the people flock to
Salem at camp meeting time, They
once came by ox-cart, on horse
mack or muleback, by wagons and
smart top buggies Now they sail
up in automobiles and ride by

to be on hand in usual numbers
this year.
Since the camp meeting was es
tablished in 1828, 114 years ago,
it has grown to such proportions
that it is now a pretty large-sized
community, with its own water
and sewer system, a comfortable
hotel, numerous cottages and
tents, all lighted by electricity.
Major R. J. Guinn, of Atlanta,,
