Keep on Saving Fats and Greases


The meal-planner is using more OF
her fats and greases these days.
Meat fats are part of her 21s-pound-
per-person weekly share of the ma
tons meat supply, and she uses
them for frying, for gravies and
soups, and to spread meat f1avors
in every way. Although government
home economists urge thorough use
Of the fatty part Of each persons
share of the meat as well as the
protein part and the bones, that
doesn't mean that we must no long
err save extra fats and greases for
use in the war effort. None of these
vital war materials must be vast
ed. Every bit of fat left over should
be strained and turned in to the
grocer. Fat that has been used for
frying may not be good for cook
ing again, but its glycerine content
makes fine explosives, and the
armed forces need every pound that
every housewife can save.

NAMES IN THE NEWS
By FRANK COLBY

MOSCOW, capital Of the U.S.S.R.
Broadcasters were taught in low
first that COW spells "cow." The
lesson was so well learned that to
this good day when they see the
name Moscow they are able to think
only of a mature female of the
genus Bos. And, have no doubt,
they will continue to put a "cow"
in Moscow until the crack of doom.
BROADCASTER'S PRIMER
Oh, see the cow.
The cow is gentle.
Her name is Bos-sy.
When is COW not cow?
When it is in Moscow.
For confirmation, let us turn to
such reliable authorities as the New
Webster's, Funk and Wagnalls',
Winston's, Macmillan's, ct al. These
lexicons tell us that the Cow of
Moscow does not spell "cow," but
"koe,'' to rhyme with foe, hoe, toe.
The only pronunciation listed is:
MAHSS-koe.
The Russian form is MOSKVA,
pronounced: mahss-KVAH.

Local Tuberculosis
 Situation F Favorable
Decline in Cases Here, Despite Usual Increase Under
 Time Emergencies Health Officer Reports

Waterbury's tuberculosis record for the past year, under wartime conditions reveals a decrease ac- cording to the annual health report submitted by Dr. E. J Godfrey This is contrary to the overall na- tional picture wherein an increase in this type illness is normally ac- counted for by wartime factors such as increased strain and activ- ities, heightened hours, overcrowd- ing, food curtailment, insufficient housing facilities, all of which pro duce a reduced resistance to the disease in individuals.
 The local success in this disease control program is greatly accounted for. according to the report, by the close and intensified check main tained through the constant survey of school children and the fol- low-up procedure resorted to in every case of tuberculosis reported by selective service officials after service examinations have revealed the existence of individual cases.
 Local tuberculosis work of the health department is carried on in close cooperation with the Anti Tuberculosis league. Of all cases (l10) reported by the latter, total of PA contacts were located, ITO were examined at the league clinic and 54 by private physicians. Of these cases 50 per cent discov- cred were in the moderately ad- vanced stage and practically g per cent were in the far advanced stage, while but only 16 per cent were in the minimal stage. A total of 83 of the active mass cases re- ported were hospitalized, practically all within two months of report. Those not hospitalized were either reported on death, left the city, re- fused sanatoria care or are awaiting admission to a sanatoria. During the year 19 X-rays were taken.
 The report states that during the past year, through the cooperation of the Selective Service boards all men rejected because of lung path ology are given an X-ray examina- tion and appropriate instructions for future care. There were 69 such cases referred in Waterbury, ten of which were dealth exclusively by the league
 The remaining 59 were personally investigated by 8 public health nurse from the local health de- partment. Of these latter, 40 were inactive or arrested" cases and IS were positive cases. All positive cases were recommended for sana- torium care. About 50 per cent were in the age group 25 to 35 years.
 Pertinent to the school program being conducted along these lines, the report reveals that during the past year on re-X-raying 157 school children with positive tuberculin test, but negative X-ray. four were found to be positive. Three of the four are now receiving sanatoria care, the remaining one receiving home care.
 A complete compilation. accord ing to the report. of the pstch-test- ing used on children in the schools covering a period of two years is as follows: totaal patch tests. 5,065;

 In talking with Eisenhower at Cathage, MT. Roosevelt, according to the dispatch, constructed a final and complete picture" fo~ the Allied commander "of the myriad details agreed upon by the joint staff Go make possible execution of the new overall strategy"
 This was the third meeting in Africa of the president and Eisen- hover. MT. Roosevelt, enroute to his Cairo ant Tehran conferences with Churchill, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin and Chinese Generalis- simo Chiank Kai-Shek, was met by Eisenhower at Gran. They proceeded to Tunis together. and the president continued his journey to Cairo by air.
 Decisions Reached
 According to the dispatch, the president sent plane to Allied headquarters to bring the general to Cairo while the conferences were in progress, and Eisenhower joined the staff talks. Evidently num- Der of decisions were reached while he was not in atendarce and MT. Roosevelt told him about them when he got to Carthage.
 Participating in the talks with Eisenhower were his chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Walter Smith, and It. Gen. Carl SpaatZ, commanding gen. eral of the northwest African air force.
 Lover of history that he is." this only available ac'ount of the stop at Carthage said, MT. Roosevelt took particular pleasure ir his O. journ at Carthage, regaling mem bers of his party with stories Of the turbulen existence of the city which was in full flower in the year 814 B. c.
 Minimum Furnishings
 "The Nazis had occupied the White House" villa before the British Eighth and First armies and the American Second Corps con- verged on them at the base O. Cape Bon. With their retreat the Nazis stripped the villa of its furnishings. With furniture at high premium in North Africa, the American con- mand was hard put to restore the villa as livabie place for just such occasions as the presidential visit. The huge central hallway was rather barren and other rooms con- tained a l.li..imum of furnishings"
 Leading up to his visit at Tunis and Carthage. MT. Roosevelt and his party, flying in three four-mo- tored transport planes. travelled from Cairo, sweeping down at low attitudes over the more famous bat tie sites where Allied strength finally broke the vaunted power of the Nazi military ace, Marshal Erwin Rommel.

The poor traffic safety record for Connecticut this year, and the in- creased hazards of the present month today brought forth an ap- peal for extraordinary caution from Superintendent of Police Daniel J Carson. e-intendent Carson | stated:
 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles John T. Mccarthy has repeatedly urged the people of Connecticut tc practice safety to the utmost during this month for December has been consistently the worst traffic death month of the year. In cooperation with Commissioner McCarthy's plea I ask Waterburians to be doubly cautious during the rest of this month particularly during the Christmas shopping period.
 '"The Waterbury Police Depart ment during the next two weeks will have additional policemen stationed at crosswalks for the protection of the Christmas shopper. I ask all shoppers to take advantage of this protection and when crossing streets to cross only at the crosswalks and where there is police officer sta toned
 Thirteen traffic deaths have oc- cured to date in Waterbury, this being the same number killed in traffic accidents for 1942, we do not wish to have any more traffic fatal ities for the balance of 1943 so we urge that Waterburians cooperate with the police to make December a traffic deathless month. Use cau- ton at all times. Practice safety in all places"

StorrS, Conn.,, Dec. 11.-UP)- Connecticut plans to draw on the West Indies and New Foundland to obtain farm labor next year, it was announced today by Paul L. Putnam, director of farm labor re- cruitment for the state war coun- ci.
 Putnam said Connecticut farm CTS faced a greater task next year and that at least 2000 workers would be procured from the West Indies, or about 900 more than took jobs during the past summer and fail
 From New Foundland, he said, 1t was hoped to obtain many men whose work on construction jobs has been completed and who prob- ably will be available for farm jobs in this state.
 Putnam said Connecticut was able to meet its farm labor requirements this year because of recruitment program which brought 18,000 per sons into full or part-time pobs, and seasonal or permanent jobs.
 Putnam predicted that crops next year would be more plentiful because disturbing factors of this year probably would not reoccur Last winters severe weather result ed in an almost negligible fruit crop, and the dry summer brought disap- pointing results to potato growers.
 Putnam said plans were being furthered for training program for seasonal workers and that the aid of women, high school students and part-time office workers agaln would be solicited.
