Attack Reported to Be Most Severe of Yedr-Con-

fOontinueo rom rage One,

Two German bombers dived from the clouds in a hit and run attack on shipping just after four huge warplanes came cut of the hay sky and raked small craft along the coast, came up the Thames estuary bombing everything in sight. Lfa- chine gunning was resorted to by the raiders as they swooped low.
 For six hours during the night. London streets swarmed with thou sands of persons from demolished homes pushing perambulators and other small carts loaded with sal vaged belongings. Homeless refugees comforted and aided the begrimed firemen who spent the night battling flames.
 Whole blocks of residences were blown to bits.
 Five hospitals were hit and one large hotel was partly destroyed.
 Public Services Disrupted
 Public services were disrupted and thrown out of gear. Many fires, some small other large, were started by the incendiary bombs. The blazes were then used by the screaming Nazi planes to find other targets.
 One large department store in the heart of London was burned out and several firemen, trying to extinguisl: the blaze, were injured.
 Seven persons, aiding firemen at another huge blaze, were killed when the walls collapsed and they were buried beneath the debris, unable to escape.

 It was the third prospectus, though, that set this town aside. It had some partially abandoned railroad shops. A survey showed it had g plants with machine tools of various types.
 All were running on schedules far short of capacity. None of them. being so small that they could not perform enough opera tions to turn out finished articles, could hope to get defense orders of any size.
 They envisioned losing even their domestic business through the operation of priorities (mate- rials being given to plants that did have defense contracts) and the loss of their skilled workmen to factories which could pay higher wages.

 And then one of the men got an idea. If they were all going down separately, maybe they could swim together. The whole program was revised. The plants were arranged theoretically, like belt line in a big mass production factory The result was staggering.
 Together, it was found, they could turn out guns and gun car- riages; armor plate for tanks, cars and trucks; and dozen other things.
 Even now, Army engineers are on the way to this town (its name cannot be used until reports are in and some action taken).

hard and empty face had been CIV
en- a So beauty treatment. She
snuggled under fur wrap that
must have cost hundreds of dol
lars. There were at least a thou
sand dollars worth of jewels on
her wrinkled fingers. And she gave
5 cents toward the upkeep and
progress of the churchl OF course,
it is to laugh.
Perhaps we should dwell upon
the absurdity of the picayune gifts
to God of Christians who profess
to be wholly His, and whose de-
pendence is upon Him-for time
and eternity. The picture repre-
sents an abdication of common
sense and of common fairness. AS
a whole, the church, and all that
it represents of ministry, is upon a
penny or nickel or dime basis. 1t
simply never occurs to the average
churchgoer that he should at least,
in common decency, match his
weekly motion-picture expenses with
his gifts to the church.
There is point to the familiar story
of the family at Sunday dinner,
with the father lengthily criticizing
the morning sermon, and the small
son, with childhoods innate sense
of justice, cutting in with the re-
mark, But, Daddy. what do you ex-
pect for a nickel?"
OF course, religion and the church
need some other things far more
