by the way" said Sammy in the
most matter -of-fact tone, "as I was
coming through the Green Forest
I saw Peter Rabbit over on the hill
where Prickly Porky lives. and Peter
seems to have been in some kind of
trouble. He was 50 lame that he
said he didn't dare try to 60 home
to the Old Brier Patch for fear that
he might meet some one looking for
a Rabbit dinner, and he knew that
feeling as he did he wouldn't be
able to save himself. Peter Is going

In the course of thousands Of
years Lake Bonneville dried up to
q large extent. Today there are a
few salt lakes in its bed, but only
one Of them-Great Salt Lake is Of
large size. In lands around Great
Salt Lake there are beds of salt
which were left when most Of Lake
Bonneville dried up.
Even without beds of salt, we
could obtain plenty. Waters Of seas
and oceans can be pumped into
reservoirs, and left there. When the
sun dries up the water, salt will be
left on the bottom of the reservoirs.
Most of the worlds salt is in the
oceans. The Atlantic Ocean alone
contains more salt than all the
known salt beds. If the salt in the
Atlantic we're placed on land, it
would make mountains far larger
and higher than the Rockies.

 At last Mondays meeting Cham Der took up the question Of scrap metal drive and a committee of w. c. Waters, H. c. McKoWan and Van H. Fisk was appointed by the Pres ident to work out the details. Celd- mittee will report at Monday s meeting. Plan is to have a general roundup throughout the community assemble the scrap in some central point and ship it south by what ever transportation that can be ob- tained. Suggestion was made that perhaps empty government barges going south might be able to take quite d lot of it. It is estimated that there is several hundred ton in the community.
 Matter of giving whatever assis- tance possible to local shipyards iE obtaining and filling government contracts was brought up and re- ferred to the Home Industries com mittee for appropriate action. Bids on navy scow construction are pending from local yards now.
 Joel Wing of the membership committee reported total member ship this year to date as 52, one of the Chambers largest member ships of recent years, virtually ty- ing the high mark of last year.

MOSCOW Responding to a tele- phoned command from Joseph Stal- iu to hold firm, put down any pan ie, the Red Army of stalingrad was fighting in what was openly called it's most decisive moment today a. gainst 30O,00o attacking Germans As civilians joined soldiers in the desperate battle for a city filled with rubble and ruin wrought by attacks of 600 to 1000 German planes a day and factory workers rolled tanks off still functioning assembly lines, the tempo of the German assaults on the northwest side of Stalingad averaging twelve daily was rising steadily with the weight Of whole fresh divisions. Of ficial accounts conceded that the attackers advanced somewhat south of the beleagured city stand ing firm after 3S days Of ordeal the Russians struck sudden blows which resulted in the capture of three settlements and threw Rumanian troops into a panic-strieken rOut.
 Above StaIingrad reserves still were coming in acoss the Yolga pro- tected by the stalwart river flotilla, to press relief attacks on a 4O-mile front from the north Furious fight ing for a strategic hill dominating the steppe there was reported, while dispatches from stalingrad a. gain were saying, there is mol place to retreat
 The Russian press asserted that lack of a second front in Europe calls for double and triple effort from the Russians.
 Meanwhile in the west Caucasus region Of the Black Sea coast the midday communique today reported the existence of an Axis wedge in the Russian defenses which are guarding the coastal road southeast Of NoYorossisk. Somewhat lighter action was reported from the Terek valley of the deep Caucasus follow ing failure of the last attempts byf masser Nazi tanks to smash a way to the Grozny oil fields.

Hershey Says Heavier Draft
 Call To Come

Stressing the desirability of
 maiutaing as much uniformity in inducing types of registrants as is
 possible under the autonomous pro-
 visions of the selectiye Training and Service Act, Maj. Gen. Lewis
 B. Hershey, Director of Selectiye Service, has instructed all State Di- reetofs to apportion calls for in duetees from their States among their local boards so that. in so far as is feasible. no board will be cal ling one type Of registrant with de- pendents substantially in advance of the other boards.
 State Directors should continue to place calls on their local boards. General Hershey stated, so as to place the heaviest load right now. on boards having the most single men, or men with collateral depen-I dents only.
 General Hershey,s memorandum to| State Directors, also directs all To-. cal boards to complete on or before. October 16, 1942, the initial class. ifieatiOn of all registrants liable. for military service. This schedule| must be met, the memorandum em-l phasizes, because the serious mili-I tafy situation requires that the Sell! ective Service System prepare to fill calls during the coming year. which will be equal to or in ex-I cess of the monthly calls made in August, September and October of this year"
 The procedure outlined by his memorandum, General Hershey said. l will tend to level off induetious with the ultimate objective of call-' ing men from the small town and from the city on an approximately uniform basis He estimated that this leYeling off process might re- quire several months to accomplish because of the time required to pro- cess registrants and accord them full rights of appeal
 Obviously General Hershey told the State Directors, the dis tribution of registrants by types a. mong local boards is not uniform: and for that reason efforts to speed should be particularly and calls should be levied upon those boards within your State from which single men without dependents can be made a. 'aliable for induction. Calls should then be levied upon boards with substantial numbers of registrants having collateral dependents until leasonable uniformity among local boards in your State has been ac-

Hitler Fears
 Second Front
 On Continent
-lRr. r.AssneiaIed. .Pressl

LONDON-The British today in terpreted Hitler's speech of We'd nesday as meaning that the Ger man armies were going on the de fensive to meet the threat of an Allied second front and their gen eral opinion was substantiated somewhat by an new explanatory remark by Nazi propaganda minis ter Goebbels that the Russian cam paign was costing a heavy toll of blood The non-bellicose tone of Hitler's speech in Berlin impressed all observers who have watched Hitler and the German army tactics. Virtually the only threat was to bomb England, a reaction which meant that the RATS sting was being felt deeply in the Reich.
 Competent observers, who may not be quoted, said that Hitler was already withdrawing troops from relatively quiet Russian sectors to| strengthen garrisons in the west and in Italy and Egypt. The Brit ish said that weather conditions on the Leningrad and Moscow fronts already were approaching the point where troops could be withdrawn.
