BY ANsELMo KRUGER

Sunday night under the auspi-
ces of the Communist Party as
a speaker honoring Frederick
Douglass, the immortal, on the
anniversary of his birth, the
meeting observing the anniver-
SarieS also of Lincoln and Lenin.
Mr.. Gordon told all assem-
bled, in his accustomed forciful
manner, how much Douglass
had done to help in the abou-
ton of slavery in the United
States. He also told how much
modern electric traffic owes to
the invention of colored man
named Thomas who was an as
SiStant of Thomas Edison. This
man invented the third rail,
used all over the world where
electric trains run. Mr.. Gordon
also stated how much colored
people have done for this coun-
try with so little return to them.
But the speaker urged all red
blooded colored men and Wom-
en- in war or war industry SER
vice to do all in their power to
help Russia and the U. S. win
the war.
The main speaker, Robert
Minor, reemphasized the need
for all colored people to aid in
the successful prosecution of
the war.
In the audience were many
dark faces, some as commun-
lists Il am not one) as we'll as

speakers. After the meeting Mr..
Gordon was greeted by many of
his Boston friends.

40 PER CENT SAVING

Statistics show that about four
women IN every 10 in the state are
saving their household fats. That's
not good--not even passable. II
every housewife saved one table
spoon Of fat a day, the quota would
easily be accomplished. Twelve
pounds a year is the family quota
90 meet the nations need of 200.-
0000 600 pounds a year or 1861, 900
pounds a month.
Bob Silbar OF the Michigan Sal
wage Committee, who is compiling
official figures for the state, esti-
mates that Michigan will be from
10 10 IS per cent below June'S
figures for the July collection.
Wayne County's estimated total
for July was I'll ,090 pounds as
against POS, 704 in June.
There must be an organized
effort on the part of the women
to take hold of this situation and
a similar campaign throughout the
state.
Saving and turning in waste
kitchen fats by homemakers and
their collection by meat dealers
and renderers literally is a job OF

men who are doing the fighting.

MATTRESSES NEEDED

Many things besides fats which
otherwise would have gone to
waste are becoming weapons of
war. Among them are mattresses,
which can blow up a bridge or
smash an oncoming tank, for
there's dynamite and gunpowder
In bed mattresses; burlap bags,
needed for our armed forces for
sand bag protection for machine
gun emplacements. anti aircraft
batteries. bombproof shelters and
similar uses; wool rags for over
coats and blankets for our men in
service, and rags of all kinds for
wiping cloths and other purposes.
Save them all and call RIA. 1882

for a pickup.
