leCtiOnS

Fat salvage is one kind Of "every-
old adage, which says that every
body's business usually turns out
to be nobody's business. Special
committees, communities, and agen-
cies Of all sort for women and for
children, are giving whole-hearted
support and cooperation so that
every little bit Of waste fat may go
to. the fighting front in the form
Of explosives.
To spur the campaign and to
hasten the regular collection Of
fat salvage, many groups have de-
vised interesting methods. In Erie,
Pa, the AWVS sponsored q limerick
contest, with q prize Of five dollars
In war stamps for the person who
gives the best last line to nine diff
ferent limericks. A, typical unfin.

In New Orleans, school children
delivered the waste fat collections
to the meat dealers. With the
consent Of their mothers they were
allowed to keep the pennies that
were paid for the fat so that they
might contribute it to the local
Doll and Toy Fund. Children in
the Osterville, Mass, public school
formed a Fats Squadron" collected
113 pounds Of waste fats, and held
a parade from the school to the
main square, before disbursing to
