Pound of Fat Means Bullet For Soldiers
Seattle P-I


 Mayor William F. DcVin put the weight of city offic aldom be- hind Seattle's drive eo salvage household fats and greases re- gently after conference with Leo WelSfield, chairman of the Civilian War Commission sal wage committee, and Arnold DrLmmel, representing Seattle meat packers and renderers.
 A pound of fat from the kitchen is another bullet in the hands of a soldier" sad the mayor. Here IS an opportunity for Seattle women to play a vital part ia this war etfor. True, it may be nconvenjent 10 strain the grease and conserve il, but lt's a small sacrifice to make for suea cause. As mayor, I urge every housewife to support this effort by saving fats and deliv- er.ng them to her meat dealer.'
 Campaign Dramatized
 The opening of the local fats campaign was dramatized at Vic tory Square by Miss Ruth White, president of Home Economies Women in Business. S1e was as- sisted by Stephen Skuol manag- CT of the Lincoln ma~l,,.
 The sk!t stressed the fact that fats should be strained into wide mouthed tin containers and de- livered 10 the nearest market. Drimmel and [ " Ringer, rep resenting retail meat dealers, were speakers in behalf of the drive, L J. c Haly Tacoma, Washington. state salvage com mittee chairman stressed the nee essity of saving other strategic materials such as copper and brass.
 Mayor Devin expressed inter- est in how the fats campaign is being handled during the con- ference with local salvage chiefs. At one time he suggested:
 Why not tell every thrifty housewife that every pound of grease she saves means 1 cents pound less for the meat she Is buylng2"
 Insist On Paying
 DrJmmel said the meat dealers insist on paying for the grease, but sad he saw n0 objection to their deducting the cents from the customers purchase.
 Mayor Devin also inquired about meat trimmings
 We cant pay for fat trim mings If not rendered." Drim- mel said, but that doesn't mean We won't accept them The house wives will find their meat deal- CTS glad to cooperate. After all. the butchers, the packers, and the soap makers, who extract the glycerine, are handling these pro ducts at a loss. This IS a patriotic effort not a proft-making effort"

London, July 29 (P - H a m b urg, Germany's greatest port and most heavily guarded city, was battered last night for the second time in three nights by the RAF with a ruinous rain of explosives and in- cendiaries.

 The raid cost 32 bomb CTS, 3 more than the num- Der lost in Sunday night at tack. The Germans said 45 raiders were shot down.

General George said that Ca youngster just out of school a feW months was set down by plane the wllds, with a half dozen assistants, and told to fix up runways, install quarters and get gasoline 250 miles away. AS he departed, the commander of the plane told the young man:
 Boy, it's on your shoulders. Gold bless you"
 When the first regular flight was made to the base it was ready, with sleeping quarters, a mess and supplies of gasoline. LII timately a bill for transportation came from the head sheik of the area.
 Apparently he rounded up all the camels in Africa to bring the gasoline" General George said. And I'd say the bill was reasonable.'
