There are many civilians working
here. They have several women
would-be mechanics. Only civilians
work in the sub-depot. We have a
very good group of officers. Our
squadron commander is a very fine
man, having been an enlisted man
himself. We may be stationed here
for some time but one never knows.
We hear many rumors. We could
get in much worse spot. We have
two chapel buildings on the base,
but only one chaplain at this time.
We also have very fine, or should
/ say, will have when it is finished,
post exchange. We have theatre
with a seating capacity of almost
1000. They show the latest pic

The base is about five miles east
of Pueblo and we have bus servic

long at the gate to pick up a ride.
We can see Pixies Peak to the north
and in the west the Rocky Noun

Lesson ~ w. se!., lssSi sss'.

Christian Nature in the Family
Deuteronomy 6:4-25; 2 Timoth,
3:14-15, for Sunday, November 8
Our lesson today deals with tn
feeding of human souls within th'
family group.
V. A. Hear, o Israel; the Lore
our God is one Lord An out
standing Old Testament teaching il
that there is only one God.
v. S. ''And thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thine heart
and with all thy soul, and with al
thy might We must highly es
TEEN God; our desire must be to-
ward him, our delight in him; oul
dependence upon him; and to him
we must be entirely devoted. We
need to love and serve God with al
our powers.
V. s. "And these words which ]
command thee shall be in your
heart The statutes of the Lord
were to be so fixed in the minds OF
the parents that they would be able
to impress them upon their chill
dren.
v. Z. "And thou shalt teach
them diligently unto the children,
and shalt talk of them when thou
sittest in thy house, and when thou
walkest by the way, and when thou
liest down, and when thou riseth
up Naturally children will feel
that things which are talked about
frequently in the home are import
ant.
v. s. "And thou shalt bind them
for sign upon thine hand, and
they shall be as frontlets between
thine eyes, The words of the law
are to be constantly kept in mind,
Just as though they were continual
1y before the eyes.
v. 9. "And thou shalt write
them upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates" The commands
of God were to be kept before the
mind as prominently and as con-
tinuously as though they were ac-
tually written on the woodwork of
the house.
V. 10. 'And when thy son ask
eth thee in time to come, saying,
what mean the testimonies, and
the statutes and the judgments,
which the Lord our God command
ed your" 1t is when children be-
gin to ask questions that the best
teaching can be done. There will
be questions on religious subjects
if there is any evidence in the
home of practical religion.
v. 21. '"Then thou shalt say un-
to thy son, we were Pharoah's
bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord
brought us out of Egypt with a
mighty hand" These are beautiful
words which apply to religious ex-
periences as well as to the depart

The brutality of Nazi religious
persecution in Poland has been un-
paralleled anywhere, according to
the report. Eight hundreds Polish
priests have been executed by the
Gestapo, murdered without trial or
tortured to death, and about 5000
priests are now in concentration
camps.
In the Polish city of Poznan only
three Of II churches and chapels
are open and seven whole dioceses
have been liquidated. Acts of saw
agery, including a wholesale mas
sacre of clergy in Pomerania and
Pozania during which some of the
victims were buried while they still
gave signs of life, are also reveal
ed.
Mennonites comprise 37.7% Of
all men in conscientious objector
camps, according to figures compil-
ed by the Mennonite Central Com
mittee. OF the 2,972 C. O.s in
camps in all parts of the United
States, 1,121 are members of the
Mennonite church. Members of the
Church of the Brethren, Ais, are
second highest in numbers in the
camps; Society of Friends (Quak-
ers), third, with 233; and Metho-
dists, fourth, with 231. None of
the other sects had more than 100

In marching. in mobs, in football

rooms on the upper floor of the

club, rather an uncomfortable club.
There were few chairs and table.
Here they wrote letters and read
letters. They talked and ordered
coffee and planned and rested.

on the corner of the majors board.

An Inflated Major.
There was a large table in the
center of the room and Maj. Hunter
sat beside it. He had his drawing
board in his lap and resting on the
table, and with a T-square and tri-
angle he worked at design for a
new railroad siding. The drawing
board was unsteady and the major
was growing angry with its un-
steadiness
He called over his shoulder,
"Prackle!" And then, "Lt. Prackle!"
The bedroom door opened and
the lieutenant came out, half his
face covered with shaving cream.
He held the brush in his hand.
"Yes?" he said.
Maj Hunter jiggled his drawing
board. Hadn't that tripod for my
board turned up in the baggage !"

HERE WAS THE PICTURE, three
Ill months ago. Strewn around mil
lions of American farms was wealth
of scrap metal. From the steel mills
came constant cry for scrap. But
the farm scrap didn't come in. 1t
was scattered far and wide, hard to
find, expensive to gather. No system
existed to collect it.
So we went to the $500 Harves-
ter dealers in rural communities,
asking them to help get in the farm
scrap. The whole field organization
of our company tackled the job. Pro-
motional and publicity campaigns
were launched to carry the story to
the farmers.
Civic committees were organized
to help. Dealers hauled scrap in their
trucks. They persuaded their farmer
friends to bring along load when
ever they came to town. They pro-
vided place to dump scrap. When
good big pile was ready, the near
est scrap dealer was called in to buy.
The steel mills got that scrap. They
will continue to get it!

RESULT: More than 1,350,0OO tons
of scrap iron and steel collected from
the fields and barn yards of American
farms and farm communities. And
more coming every day.
That's $4,000 railroad carloads of
scrap. Melted down, it's enough to
build 10000 medium tanks for the
Army. Or 100 cargo vessels for the
battle of ocean transport.
The farmers and businessmen of
rural America have revealed an iron
mine in the fence corner-an arsenal
in the clover.
This job is being done as volun-
teer war work-done by men who
ask no reward, done not only by
Harvester dealers and personnel but
by dealers of competing companies,
bylocal merchants and organizations.
Anyone who wants to help is well
come. And they do want to help.
Nobody in the farm equipment in
dustry makes dime on scrap. We
don't. The farm equipment dealers
don't. All money from scrap sales
