Salvage Committee
Is Re-orsanized

Because of the present Stepped-up
activities on all phases of salvage, an
nOuncement is made Of the re-Organi-
zatiOn of the Wayne County Salvage
COMMITTEE by Edwin J. Anderson, com
mittee chairman. WyandOtte's repre-
sentative on the new committee is Her
man Schumacher.
Under the new committee operation,
subcommittee are being formed to
work directly. on tin can salvage and
kitchen fats salvage.
1t is felt that the new Organizati ton
set-up will result in more concentrate
ed effort and closer cooperation on the
part of various organizations who are
devOting time toward salvage. 1t is
also expected that the public will be
hOre clearly Informed las to salvage
developments through wider spread
personal contact with Wayne county
households.
Michigan'S quota for kitchen fats,
just released by the bureau of conser-
walton of the War Production Board
amounts TO 2O,OOO.OOO pounds annual
ly. of which 7,O0O.OOO pounds should
come from Wayne county Some $1,000
pounds of fats were turned in in
Wayne county during July.
Every housewife is urged To save
her kitchen fatS-drippings from ba-
con. pork, lamb and beef-which are
not re-uSeable to be turned i'm at her
meat market and Salvaged to make
glycerine needed for explosives The
drippings should be strained through
strainer into a clean can. such as a
coffee can. Do not usei glass After a
pound or more Is collected il should
be taken to the meat dealer who will
pay for the collected kitchen fat at
the rate of five cents per pound. 1t is
a direct and comparatively simple
way In which every housewife can
contribute to the war effort.
