It is heard on different occasions from civilians, and even from military personnel that soldiers should not be asked buy War Savings Bonds because they are contributing enough by being soldiers and that their pay is low in comparison to what many of them were earning in their civil pursuits This is erroneous idea and soldier who is fully of the advantages afforded him by the Army Pay Reservation Plan does not accept it. He knows the greater the reduction in hJ income the geraer the necessity for saving for the fusure He is aware there will be great readjustment period following this war, has been the case after all great wars He knows when he leaves the service
 jobs going be hard to get and he wants something to tide him the difficult time. The wise soldier knows he is loaning-not contributing-money to the Governorment when he buys War Bonds. He realizes he putting his savings in the most solid rock invest ment in the world - the full faith and credit Of the United States of America The American soldier knows his country will be solvent so long win this war He appreciates the fact, more so than the average civilian, that up against worthy foes, and the only way to defeat them is by every American making a 100 per cent effort The soldier does not wish to be dscrminated against he wants share of his money go into the implements of just the same as any other loyal American.

Waste Greases Needed On Front Lines Today Millions of Pounds to Be Collected for Essential War Service - Housekeepers Hold
 Key to Important Problem.

cleanest nation in the world has cost us dear in the use of fats and oils. Soap and it's important de- riVative, glycerine, has been one ot the largest users of those now cur tailed essentials. Armies use pro- digious quantities of soap. So do workers on the production lines. Waste kitchen fats can be used for soap, as many an older housewife knows. It is not desired, however, that the women of the country use their waste fats to make soap Be- cause more valuable than the soap itsels today is it's glycerine by prod uctc, needed for explosives, propel- lant powders and medications And the home kitchen is not equipped to extract glycerine content of the soap. Sold to the meat dealers and delivered through the renderers to the soap industry, waste kitchen fats can be an important addition to the glycerine stocks of the coun- try.
 Paints and varnishes, always large consumers of fats and oils, take on added importance in the war effort. Tough paints are needed in the pro- duction of tanks, guns, a!rplanes and ships and in the building of army barracks. Oils for such pur- poses cannot be rationed.
 Given the bottoms to move them in, some increases in imports of fats and oils from South America can be expected this year. South Amer ican countries. peacetime exporters of great quantities to Europe, find themselves this year with their mar kets cut of. Naturally they are turning to the United States to take up part of this loss. And the United States will be glad to if shipping facilities can be procured.
 Increased production and new sources of imports offer consider able hope that sizeable part of our growing needs can be taken care of. Increased activity by Axis submarines in the South Atlantic, however, plus always-possible u1- favorable agricultural conditions and resulting short harvests in this country would most certainly leave us in a position which would cause rejoicing in Axis quarters.
 Any American woman who today throws her roast and broiler drip pings into the garbage pail is either plain stupid or plainly endeavoring to help the cause of the enemy.

Unless at least a half billion pounds of greases ordinarily thrown out as waste, can be salvaged from the kitchens of the nation this year, the United States faces a definite deficit in stocks of fats and oils, essential to food, to war material, to many industrial processes &C., cording to the New England Regional Office of War Informa- tion, IT Court street, Boston.
 In 1941, we used some Il billion pounds of fats and oils, an increase of 12 per cent over 1940 Military needs caused the increase. This year our even greater military needs have jacked up our requirements another billion pounds.
 Actually, however, an extra bil- lion and quarters must be found somewhere, for the loss of the Far East meant also loss to us in fats and oils of over a half our normal imports minimum of 3-4 of a billion pounds.
 A full third of these lost imports came from the Philippines in the form of cocoanut oil and copra. The Netherlands East Indies and Malaga gave us palm oil From China we imported tung oil and from Man. churia and Japan, perilla oil.
 Per Capita Amount Urood soans and their hy-Drod- ucts. glycerine. and paints and var nishes were the principal reasons for our record consumption of fats and oil - about 82 pounds pe1 capita last year.
 Estimates place the amount o1 grease wasted in the nations kitch- ems every year at some ? billion hounds. Now the women of the country are being asked to salvage IA of this-5OOO00,00o pounds This salvage, although it represents in weight 1-3 of all our imports will not, of course, take the place of those imports. Much of our inn ported supply was in edible fats and the greaseS salvaged from our kitchens will not be used fol edible purposes. Such a salvage is important because 1t releases cer- tain edible fats for edible purposes instead of using them in industria. processes.
 The importance of the release o1 edible fats cannot be overestimated In normal times the United States eats over 2-3 of all It's fats and oils But war times are not norma times.
 Fats represent the most concen. trated form of energy giving food Our armed forces and those of oui allies need energy foods. They neec more per capita than our civilian population needs and they will ea more fats per capita than civilian! eat.
 To supply the extra requirement.! of edible fats, the farmers of tht country have been asked to rais' more of the fat-giving crops more peanuts, more soybeans, mor' cotton and more hogs fo most essential lard. In lard alon, our 1941-1943 production Is planned for 3 billion pounds, or billion more than we used in 1940.
 Normally certain quantities O these edible fats would be allocat ed industrial purposes. Much more however, T..n be released for actua food if the salvage of waste kitchel fats is successful

BIRD AT MORNING
Good Evening.

How well that under the morning whips The outlines of the land appear. Cool light springs down against the lips And there Is one small bird hear. It sweeps across my window pane, A silver -darting of thin sound. It sharpens itself upon the lane Of growing light that wraps 1t round. Strange that such things should be: the glass Of morning clearing, growing bright And this lean whip of sound that has To crack against the Hanks of night.

For instance, it doesn't seem
fair to have a bus pass me up,
particularly on a cold or rainy
day. because those on the bus
stubbornly refuse to step to the

to crowd little closer inside, and
even have someone breathing

of bars to hold on to and each
bar can be utilized by more than

two persons with a little manipu-

Most Of all, make up your mind
before you shop, be a considerate
and understanding person, do
your buying outside the rush
hours when you can, and don't
ask for favors or unnecessary de-
iveries. In their turn, the stores
will do their best to give you the
merchandise you want and the
service you hope for but don't
really expect. Remember to arm
yourself with three aspirins and
a stout pair of walking shoes, as
well as list. Don't have things
