Thousands of posters like the one pictured above have been distributed throughout the country calling attention to this year's Roll Call membership appeal.

Full Text of President's Speech (Continued from page three) 1 be free to carry our American goods into the harbors of our friends. Our American merchant ships must be protected by our American navy. It can never be doubted that the goods will be delivered by this nation whose navy believes in the tradition of "damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!" Our national will must speak from every assembly line in oiir vast industrial machine. Our factories and our shipyards are constantly expanding. Our output must be multiplied. It cannot be hampered by the selfish obstruction of a small but dangerous minority of industrial managers who hold out for extra profits, or for "busness as usual." It cannot be hampered by the selfish obstruction of a smaH but dangerous minority of labor leaders who are a menace -to the true cause of labor Itself, as well as to the nation as a whole. The lines of our essential defense now cover all the seas; and to meet the extraordinary demands of today and tomorrow our navy grows to unprecedented size. Our navy Is ready for action. Indeed, units of it in the Atlantic patrol are In action. Its officers and men need no praise from I me. Our new army is steadily developing the strength needed to withstand the aggressors. Our soldiers of today are worthy of the proudest traditions of the United States army. But traditions cannot shoot down dive bombers or destroy tanks. That is why we muat and shall provide, for every one of our soldiers, equipment and weapons?-not merely as good but better than that of any other army on earth. And we are doing that right now. % <0 ? For this?and all of this?is what "we mean by total national defense. The first objective of that defense is to stop Hitler. He can be stopped and can be compelled to dig in. And that will be the beginning of his downfall, because dictatorship of the Hitler type can live only through continuing victories?increasing conquests. The facts of 1918 are proof, that a mighty German army and a tired German people can crumble rapidly and go to pieces when they are faced with successful jftslatancfl. - hlobody who admires qualities- of courage and endurance cad* fall to be stirred by the' full fledged resistance of the Pnsslan people. The Russians are fighting for their own soil and their own homes. Russia needs all kinds of kelp flints, tanks, i * : - 'v ? - ' ' guns, medical supplies and other aids against the Invaders. From the United States and from Britain, she is getting great quantities of those essentlal supplies. But the needs of her huge army will continue?and our help and British help will have to continue! The other day the secretary of state of the United States was asked by a senator to justify our giving aid to Russia. His reply was: "!TJie answer to that depends on how anxious a person is to stop and destroy the march of Hitler in his conquest of the world. If he were anxious enough to defeat Hitler, he would not worry about who was helpnig to defeat him." Upon our American production falls the colossal task of ^quipping our own armed forces, and helping to supply the British, the Russians and the Chinese. In the performance of that task we dare not fall. And - we will not fail. It has not been easy for us Americans to adjust ourselves to the shocking realities of a world in which the principles of common humanity and I common decency are being mowed | down by the firing squads of the Gestapo. We have enjoyed many of God's blessings. We have lived in a broad and abundant land, and by our industry and productivity we have made it flourish. ' There are those who say that our great good fortune has betrayed us? that we are now no match for the regimented masses who have been trained in the Spartan ways of ruthless brutality. They say that we have grown fat and flabby and lazy?and that we are doomed. But those who say that know nothing of American life. They do not know that this land is great because it is a land of endless challenge. Our country was first populated and it has been steadily developed, by men and women in whom there burned the spirit of adventure and restlessness and individual independence which will not tolerate oppression. f Ours has been a story of vigorous challenges which have been accepted and overcome?challenges of uncharted rfeas, of wild forests and desert plains, of raging floods end withering drought, of foreign tyrants and domestic strife of staggering problems ?social, economic and physical; and we have come out of them the most powerful nation?-end the freest?in all of history. Today in the face of this newest and greatest challenge, we Americans have cleared our decks and taken our battle stations. We stand ready la the defease of our j natkm and the faith of our fathers to ( do what God has given us the power to see as oar fun duty. - -4-*'-.'- % "* \ ' SCT"*"* ?i?S1F'Jt '- '3' JL-y- 'i' '.. Chattahoochee River Contains Much Gold * You've probably been thinking all J these years that thf murky color of the Chattahoochee is cuused by 4 mud. But unh-uh. You know what 4 that color is caused by? Gold. 1 Yessir, there's gold in that river. You can take Benjamin P. Tug- i gle's word for that, because after , three years of secret labor, he has perfected, he suya, a machine which ' will extract colloidal gold from the Chattahoochee. ' He says that $45,000,000 worth of * the precious metal washes down t the stream annually, and he estl- : mates that with the use of his new < machine he can realize a net profit of $30,000,000 yearly. Tuggle says he will install his ' machine in the river near the Roswell bridge where, he points out, tests have shown colloidal gold far finer than "float" or "flour" gold, can be recovered Ijy his secret process at a rate of from 2 cents ( to 5 cents worth per ton of water processed. Tuggle explains the source of the gold by saying it has been eroding from Georgia mountains for centuries and finding its way into the I - Chattahoochee. i ? He claims his machine has been tested and proved successful. In fact, he revealed that he already has obtained $6 or. $7 worth of gold in some of his tests. Capt. Garland Peyton, director of the state mining department, who has checked Tuggle's work and his invention, says, "we have yet to see any conclusive evidence of the . ability of his machine to profitably extract gold from the Chattahoochee. As yet he hasn't done enough experimenting along orthodox lines. He has used his own machine and his own method." Immigrant Girl's Fish Cart Turns Into Millions Anybody who ever exclaimed, or felt like exclaiming, "I never had a chance," should have a look (with the mind's eye) at Mrs. FannieFeinberg. This lady runs a fish C&jp tu the famous .- Fulton Fish! market in New York, has three of her five sons on her staff, and does an annual business of $400,000. In rating the chances of normal persons to succeed, surely none could be put much lower than a little immigrant girl of 11, speaking only Russian, and having all her worldly goods tied up in a handkerchief. The time was 1885. But this i girl was eager to work, and determined to get along. In a few years she had acquired a husband and a fish cart. By diligence the cart was worked up to a standing store.- Then one day opportunity knocked on the door, and Fannie threw it wide open. An order came to supply the fish for a large hotel banquet. Fannie took charge of it personally, and instead of merely delivering the number of pounds ordered, she decided to have the fish cleaned and cut into individual portions ready to be cooked and served.' That extra service not only made a permanent friend of the hotel but attracted others, and the little store, always seeking to give better service, grew into a market handling nearly 8,000,000 pounds of fish a year. Preparing Livestock for Shipping Too much care cannot be taken as to. th^ preparation of livestock for shipping. Livestock should never be fed just before loading, either in cars or trucks. While this is true of all types of livestock, it is particularly true of hogs. Never feed hogs less than three or four hours before loading. The vibration set up by any means of transportation aids in heating the blood of the animal and they ride very poorly. During the summer months hogs should not be moved any distance in hot weather if it can be avoided. Some shippers are of the opinion that animals will shrink too much if not fed just before loading. This is not the case and in fact they will ride bad and shrink more if fed at loading time. It is much better to have livestook arrive in good shape than to gain an extra pound in weight as the difference in appearance will be more j than offset by the difference In price that a good-appearing animal will i command. * Reciprocal Obligation Being a fervent collector of auto- 1 graphs, Andrew Carnegie once 1 asked a friend who was visiting Germany to obtain the autograph of the ' German biologist-philosopher Brhst ( Haeckel, who had recently published , hip startling book, "The Rkldle of \ the Universe." Some weeks later ; Carnegie received the autograph of i the wily Haeckel. The philosopher 1 hpd written: "Professor Haeckel of tne University of Jena acknowledges ' the receipt of a new high-power ' microscope for the biological institute of the university and deeply thanks Mr. Andrew Carnegie for the gift." Mr. Carnegie's canny Scotch j blood appreciated the . hint He , promptly forwarded the microscope ; to the university.

Army Broadcast Is Gem Entertainment (Continued fiem first page) .I i ert Button of the Radio Section of tho Public Relations headquarters was given by the band after which pianist Private First Class David Yates of the 8th Medical Battalion, Company C played the First Movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Another interesting selection was the singing of "I Was Seeing Nellie Home" by a quartet from the ranks of the 128th Field Artillery band. Next came a quartette number ''Nine Old Men" with Private Tom O'Dalr doing the solo work. To add interest to the broadcast the audience was given song sheets and took part in a community sing led by Sergeant Clayborne Mangum. It was stated thla week that the excellence of the First Army program has so impressed the National Broadcasting company officials that several may be put on a network during November. \ This program is heard every Sunday evening at 8:30 Eastern Standard time and should be of interest to all Americans. The program is arranged through the office of Captain Newton N. Jacobs of the Radio section of Public Relations headquarters and the announcer is Wesley Wallace of Station WPTF who has been doing a splendid Job. The engineer in charge la Willard Dean of Station WPTF. The series so far offered have been quite the most outstanding entertainment ever offered in Camden.

WE SHOULD ALL LOVE OUR DAIRYMAN ?The life of a dairyman is Just ono night after another. I have tried to And out when a dairyman does his sleeping, but have not been able to do so. I have talked with several dairymen during the past few days and they all tell the same story they go to bed late and get up early. ?Daylight savings time didn't help or hurt the dairyman. * He gets up every morning about 3 hours before dftyllght, summer and winter alike. He Is the only food supplier that a customer wont excuse for being late. If a family doesn't And Its milk parked on the front or rear porch every morning, Sabbath included, at the crack-o-day, several fits are thrown, and Mr, Dairyman might as well prepare for a cussing out. ?The dairyman gets all of the bad breaks, Including bottles. Nobody feels disposed to pay for a broken bottlq or a stolen milk bottle or a milk bottle that the family needs for other purposes, storage, keeping ho-made mo- y lasses, and such like: the dairyman has to replace 95 per cent of them with a smile. If feed advances in price a milk customer can't understand why milk should go up. If labor costs more at the dairy,;that shouldn't affect the price of milk, et cetera. ?The milkman is the last fellow to receive his pay, that ifl?in many cases. The doctor and the baker and the radio maker com? first. The Instalment collectors always beat him to the base. Sickness In a family la the best exbuse for not paying a milk bill. Next comes new tjirea for . the car or an au$o repaid bill or Susie's In college or grandpk has been cut off of relief or taxes or Insurance or beauty parlor work or mebbe the dog Is In the hospital. Milk is the most essential food for any household, and I pity any family that can't get enough of it each day to meet every requirement, but let's not forget Jfhe good old dairyman who works night and day to help us stay At to work 8 hours a day, or less.
