Even in peacetime, scrap provided about SQ% of the raw material for steel. It may be rusty, old “scrap” to you, but it is actually refined steel—with most impurities removed, and can be quickly melted with new metal in the form of pig iron to produce highest quality steel for our war machines, k The production of steel has gone mp, up, UP, until today America is turning out as much steel as all the rest •f the world combined. But unless at Jtast 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap •teel is uncovered promptly, the full rate of production cannot be attained or increased; the necessary tanks, guns and ships cannot be produced. The rubber situation is also critical. In spite of the recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large quantities of scrap rubber. Also for other waste materials and metals like brass, copper, zinc, lead and tin. The Junk which you collect is bought by industry from scrap dealers at estab lished, government-controlled prices. Will you help? First—collect all of your waste ma terial and pile it up. Then—sell it to a Junk dealer, give it to a charity, take it yourself to the nearest collection point, or get in touch with your Local Salvage Committee. If you live on a farm, consult your County War Board or your farm imple ment dealer. Throw YOUR scrap into the fight!

Lesson for August 9: Genesis 18: 23-33. Golden Text: James 5:16. Soon after Abraham and Lot separated, Lot settled in Sodom, a city so wicked that its name was given a vile sin. See Genesis 19:5. And God told Abraham of his pur pose to destroy the city. Abraham prayed for Sodom. He was naturally concerned for his kinsmen there and he continued to plead until God promised to spare the city if ten righteous people were found in it. Fifteen years before Abraham had rescued Lot and others from the banded kings (Genesis 14:16); he may not have heard from Lot since but supposed his household would number more than ten. Though a pioneer of faith (last lesson), Abraham’s prayer for Notice For Bids For| INSURANCE Transportation Pupils The Workers’ Council of the Baptist Sunday School met at the home of Mrs. C. R. Strom on Monday evening of last week with Miss Vivian Jaynes and Mrs. G. A. Simpson as co-hostesses. The devotional message was brought by J. Fred Buzhardt, using as his subject “Obedience.” Prayers were led by Rev. L. K. Simpson, pastor. Minutes were read by the Secre tary, Mrs. R. L. Faulkner, and reports were given by each de partmental secretary and the General Secretary, H. G. Sanders. The reports. showed a gradual in crease in Sunday School attend ance. The hostesses served fruit punch and sandwiches. — tXt Get in the scrap! dom did not avail. Some think he I had a bargaining spirit in his praying. To the author it appears that Abraham’s prayer failed be cause he took too much upon . . a- self, not in speaking unto the -v.jd (verse 27) but in assumir._ a knowledge of conditions. .e thought there were ten righi. .as people in Sodom and there -je not. We may sometimes as of God according to our know.edge instead of trusting to Omnis^. -e. So the second failure of Abi\. ;.im was stopping short in his pic.. He thought he had reached the _;oal but he had not. So let us pray in perfect hiw.iil- ity and trust. God alone k..jws what is best for us. The value of prayer may be sadly limited if we assume too great a knowledge of our needs as we approach God. Keep ’em firing—with junk!
