one reason.

Housewives Are Urged
To Turn in Waste Fats
That there is an acute need for
more fats and greases is empha
sized in a recent statement by
Donald M. Nelson, chairman of
WPB.
Over 85 per cent of all glycerine
produced is now used for military
purposes and the need is increas
ing. Housewives have been most
co-operative in response to ap
peals to save waste fats; but gov
ernment surveys reveal that while
six out of ten women are saving
fats, only three out of ten have
thus far been delivering their
waste fat to meat dealer collec
tors.
Directions are very simple.
Housewives simply strain waste
fats of every kind into a clean can
and, as soon as the can is full,
take it without delay to a meat
dealer or frozen food locker op
erator. Any clean can will do.
In the Breadbasket
Stories about progressive schools
continue to roll in, one being con
cerned with a little boy who proud
ly brought home a picture of Abra
ham Lincoln which he had mount
ed on a piece of cardboard.
“Did teacher tell you anything
about this man?” the boy’s father
asked. The little boy said yes,
she had. Well, did he remember
what she had said? The little boy
beamed and replied: “She said:
‘Paste him in the middle.’ ”
