NEED MORE
WASTE FATS

Montana fell far below it's
quota on the collection of waste
kitchen fats for January, ac-
cording to Mrs. Mark Farris of
Helena, state chairman of the
Montana salvage committee.
Reports received recently by
Mrs. Farris show that a total
of 29,818 pounds were shipped
to professors during January,
while the states quota was
92,500 pounds.
Mrs. Farris calls attention to
a statement issued this week by
WPB Chairman Donald Nelson,
wherein he said, If we do not
get enough waste kitchen fats,
we face a serious situations
shortage of glycerine for even
our most essential needs. Waste
fats contain approximately 10
per cent glycerine and that gly-
cerine is essential to the manu-
facture of smokeless powder, nj
troglycerine and dynamite"
II am convinced" Nelson
concluded, that most home
makers realize how vital one
tablespoonful of waste fats can
be when saved day in, day out
Waste fat salvage is more than
a drive or campaign, it is a
continuous program, a duration
long program that will furnish
munitions and other war mater
ials to our fighting forces"

It was stated that state head
quarters does not intend to al
low any ~registrant who is eli
gible for nc or III-C claSSifi-

| quoted: 1T is our belief that II
a registrant has d background
of agriculture or stock raising
and can now be considered a
full-time bona fide agricultural
worker, he should, without hes
itation, be given a nc or III
&C classification. If considering
the case from a part-time ag-
ricultural standpoint, it must be
remembered that even though
a registrant is not engaged full
time on one farm or unit, he
should be considered as an ag-
ricultural worker if he works
full time in agriculture. This
would apply to owner-opera-
tors. tenants, or hired labor.

ton of a sufficient number O.
