Remember always that fat Is q
necessary part Of your family's diet.
Now that butter Is scarce, house,
wives must use other fats and learn
to get the most from the money
they spend for those fats.
Fat used in cooking may be
saved and used again, unless 1t
has been scorched or Is too strong
In favor. Here are practical tips
for saving and using this food
weapon.
Keep fats from scorching and
smoking. Once o fat reaches the
smoking point 1t gets rancid
quicker and makes food cooked In 1t
harder to digest.
Save all fat drippings. Use "as
Is" for fiavoring vegetables and IN
other cooking.
Use drippings as fat. Heat them,
strain them, mix several kinds to-
gether II you like. Use In pastry,
hot breads, some cakes and cook

Ration Board Warns
Against Losing Books
Silver Spring Unit Will
Continue Touch RULINGS

A warning that the Ration Board
at Silver Spring, Md, will continue
to be tough" in the matter of re-
placements for War Ration Books
No. 2, was issued today by Mrs.
C. W. Mitchell. community service
member of the board.
Pointing out that Maryland has
the highest number of requirements
in the region for lost or stolen War
Ration Books No 2 except for New
York City, Mrs. Mitchell urged resi-
dents to guard these books with
care
The Silver Spring Office has been
accused of being tough in the matter
of requirements, but it seems we are
going to have to be tougher she
said. The safekeeping of ration
books Is more than responsibility.
it is a patriotic obligation resting
upon each individual. The local
board is not required to replace
lost books, but may do so at its
discretion.
Every book issued to an unjusti-
fed claimant gives the person an
unfair advantage over his neighbor
in securing additional food at
time when our supply is critical"
"Grocers and others finding books
are requested to turn them in to
the Silver Spring Office. If they
were not originally issued from this
Office we can readily trace them to
the present address Of the owners"
Mrs. Mitchell stated.

Report Will Suggest
Postwar Program
On Farm Problems
SeIf-Supportine Bosis
For Agriculture Sought
By Interstate Committee
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, July 5.-An attempt
to put agriculture on a self-support-
ing basis will be made in tenta-
tive report containing proposed
solutions to postwar farm problems
to be considered by the Interstate
Committee on Postwar Construction
and Development, Gov O'Conor,
national chairman of the committee,
said yesterday.
The report will be submitted to
the full committee. consisting OF
representatives OF governors of 20
States, within short time.
Foreseeing probable sharp drop
in demand for food products after
the expected postwar boom has sub
sided. Gov. O'Conor said the Coun-
Gil of State Governments is seeking
to arrive at some basic program
which will make permanent agri-
culture standard and avoid the OBJ
jectionable farm relief procedures
which came into being during the
depression years.
The attempt to move large num-
bers Of people to the farms as a
postwar relief for unemployed in
dustrial workers is one of the pos
sible mistakes which Gov O'Conor
said the committee seeks to avoid.
He pointed out that the Nation S
farms had, if anything. more labor
than they needed before the war,
and that normally the surplus popu-
lation has moved from the farm to
the cities.
Any movement that would tend
to reverse this flow. he continued,
should be considered most carefully.
Among contributory aids which
the committee regards as necessary
are increased educational facilities
readily available to farm youth, as
we'll as greatly expanded research
work by the agricultural experiment
stations Of the various States.
Gov. O'Conor said such steps
would be necessary in order to en-
able the farm population to take
full advantage of scientific discov-
cries that constantly are being
made, and to help prepare young
people for skilled occupations in
commerce and industry if they do
not wish to remain on the farms
