RESERVE CORPS
SOCIAL LIONS OF ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, June 19.-Men from
the officers Reserve Corps Training
Camp at Fort Mcpherson are the soc
ial lions of Atlanta, and already the
fellows who don't wear the uniform
are beginning to wonder what will
happen to them when the United
States gets into the actual fighting
and soldiers from the trenches begin to
come home with the scars of battle
and all the glamor that goes with fem
inc hero WORKSHOP. If young man
who is merely training for war, they
figure, can get away with so much OF
the social cream, as it we're, what are
the returning heroes going to leave for
the plain citizen?
Every Saturday night the men OF
the 20. r. c." are off duty, and in
spite of their strenuous weeks grind
of drill and study they manage to ac-
quit themselves very nimbly and cred
itably on the dancing floors. Wher-
ever they appear they are usually
surrounded by admiring groups OF
girls who seem to have eyes only for
the khaki.

FIRST SHIPMENT
Of CANS ARRIVES

A shipment of $4,000 cans. arrived
this morning at the establishment of
the Sheffield Hardware Company to
fill orders given by housewives
throughout this section a few weeks
ago.
These are the No cans and the
shipments of No. 2 and No. 10 cor
tainers are expected to arrive within a
Ishort time
All those who have ordered No 3
cans may secure them by calling on
the Sheffield Company, through which
concern the containers were ordered.
The orders for these cans were taken
with the understanding that the Shelf
field Company would dispose of them at
a price which included no margin of
profit to themselves. The cost of man
ufacture and freight charges have been
computed and the price to the con
sumer just covers this expense.
The cans were ordered several weeks
ago as the result of the intensive food
conservation campaign which had been
agitated by the federal and state gov
ernments Miss Rowena Long, home
economics agent for Sumter county, CO.
operating with the Chamber of Com
merce, has been urging the members Of
the canning clubs in this section, as
well as other individual housewives, to
take adyanta-e of this exceptional OPP
portunity to secure containers at cost.

mittee is disheartening it does not
mean that the movement for higher
salaries for government employees has
