TT TORD comes from Washington that
V V the fat-salvagS problem has got to
be licked in the small cities, the towns and
on the farms. rffi M .
We women have to save enough used fats
in ouf kitchens to help make munitions,
medicines, fabrics, soap for military and
civilian use, and many other essentials.
The job, to date, has been done largely
by city people, because arrangements for
collecting the fats were made in the cities^
first. And these city folks are turning in'
more than twelve million pounds a month!
c
Now we’re called on. And will the women
on the farms and in the towns and small
cities break that record?
• 1 4‘‘ ■
Don’t worry —just watch our speedf
HOW TO DO IT i Save all used fats in a tin
can. Keep it handy to the stove. Scrape
your broilers and roasting pans, skim soups
and gravies, for every drop counts. Keep
solid pieces of fat, as meat trimmings and
table scraps, in a bowl.
Melt down once a week when your oven’s
going, add the liquid fat to the salvage can.
Take the can to your butcher as soon as
it’s full. He will give you two red points
and up to four cents for every pound. If
you have any difficulty, call your County
Agent or Home Demonstration Agent.
This message is approved by WFA and
OPA, and paid for by Industry.

100,000,000 More Pounds Of
Used Fats Are Needed This Year!

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS.. |
"When you think of the sacrifices our fight
ing men are making in this war, it’s hard to
figure out how we’ll ever repay them, isn’t
it, Judge?”
"Yes, it really is, Tom. There are only
certain things we can do. Such as...write
them cheerful letters often. Send them
favorite gifts from time to time. Work
harder than ever to provide them with
everything they need to finish their job
quickly. Buy more and more War Bonds...
especially during the current drive...to ,
pay for the ammunition and fighting equip* *
ment they must have.” 4j
“All that still seems kind of small cons*
pared with what they’re doing for us, Judge.1* I i
“True, but it’s about aU we older Mki
back home can do, Tom. Except one more !
thing. And that is to be sure our fighting mea
come home to the same kind of country they
left behind. The kind of country their Utterf
tell us they want Nothing changed the!
they don’t want changed wide they’re a wag
and unable to express thdr wishes."
