Long, Village Cleik THE JOURNAL'S Daily Pattern ABE MARTIN 5736 S$i secret yesterday, but it was not un til this morning when an officer blasted a hole in the vault that the Americans could see with their own eyes the German treasure trove. It was a fabulous siaht neat piles of bags of gold bricks, million; of dollars worth of American, Brit ish, French and other foieign cur rency, and stores of famous art treasures. Alter the vault was blown open am! the stock taken, Werner Vieck, a Reischbank official, looked over the treasure and said: "I am convinced this is all Reisch bank gold." He had been present when the gold and other valuables had been sealed in the vault. After the count ing this morning, Vieck estimated the gold alone amounted to 100 tons. The gold and foreign currency probably had been removed from the treasury- at Berlin in connection with Adolf Hitler's efforts to escape to a neutral country. The treasure appears to have ben stored here purely on Hitler's own orders, presumably with the hope of keeping the fuhrer in ease in some neutial country. 1 he goto, cast in pigs weigumg 20 and 50 pounds each, was stored 1" sacks that resembled grey Hour bags.

But there may be ways to save that you are missing. V on't you please check sugsestions below? Our country needs fats so urgently to help make medicines, explosives, soaps, synthetic rub ber and other essentials on the war and home fronts. F!S!3 you're using more of it these days. Scrape every drop of grease from the pan in which you fry or broil it- SAUSAGES they're plentiful and yield 7ors of grease in the frying pan. (And if you parboil them first, don't forget to save the water and skim off the grease!) UTILITY MEATS are good for stews and soups. Skim the grease as they cook. Chill them afterwards and scoop off the fat that hardens on top. (Gravies too!) HOT DOGS you'll get at least a tablespoon or two of grease from the cooking water. Even a teaspoon helps! FAT SCRAPS save them all in a bowl in the icebox. Once a week melt them down and add them to the salvage can. AND BE SU3E to keep the can right out where it's handy! Drop by drop, it will fdl up faster than you think. Then rush it to your meat dealer and get those 2 red points and 4 cents for every pound of fat. Start today!
