Urgent Need For Fats

The shortage of used kitchen fats is
acute, and our Government is calling on
every housewife to renew her interest
and efforts in saving all the fats pos
sible.
Right now, we are $50 million pounds
short of the necessary needs for mill
tary and civilian requirements. Fact is
for 1915 we need $50 million pounds of
used household fats.
We've got to take care of these needs
trial requirements for munitions, medi-
cines, military soaps and scores of civil
liam uses.
The fat salvage program on used fats
cannot and is not intended to furnish
all the inedible fats required for all the
products made with these materials.
Salvaging used fats-if done efficiently
will help make up the deficit in our
available supplies Of inedible fats.
Homemakers have done a grand "a
bout face" and they have salvaged a lot
of used fat-170 million pounds last
year-but more is urgently needed this
year.
We appreciate the fact that it may
not be such a pleasant job to save fat
and get it to town. But, our fighting
men are performing man, many really
tough jobs which cannot be compared
with the little things which we can do
to speed victory.
No matter how successful the Rus
slams may be-or how successful Amer
lean, British and French troops may be
in Europe-salvaged used fats are still
going to be needed in great quantity in
1945. Production Of these materials can't
Immediately pick up in Europe, evtn
though peace should come tomorrow.
There s no doubt about the need for
used fats. Mrs. Housewives kitchen is
he chief source. And there's where
most Of it will nave to come from. After
housewives nave used household fats
until they are no longer disable, then
they should turn them in for salvage.
Turn in your used fats and tell others
to do likewise. Turn them in to your
grocer or butcher. Used fats are more
greatly in need now than ever before.

 The public wants truth. The Army erred, when, after the German breakthrough at Ardennes it poured propaganda into the home front blaming labor and industry for shell shortages at the front.
 The public knew from month -to-month reports, that armed services Washington bureaus never yet have asked industry labor or agriculture for production and failed to get it. Industrial figures may fall beneath quota slightly in any one month but the quota will be exceeded in the next month. Tough as the farm job has been, farmers have met and exceeded their quotas.
 Testimony in strike hearings has disclosed that U. S industrial production in this war, even though establishing all-time high could have been ex- ceeded.
 Fighting men carry the only genuine war role. The services supply job is difficult and errors may be expected But the service brass hats should not when they have misplanned by cutting back and cutting down orders, blame the home front. Nor should they withhold news unless the welfare of fighting men is affected

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

Three years ago last Sunday afternoon German troops began gather along the roads leading into little Bohemian village not far from Prague Few persons outside of Bohemia had ever heard the name of that village But today the of that village should be familiar to all.
 On the previous day Renhard Heydrich, who had earned the love and admiration of the German people by killing great many helpless and innocent people had been buried in the Invaliden cemetery in Berlin with much weeping He had fingered seven days in agony after two men, who have been captured and whose names are not known had jumped on the running board of his auto the highway from Berlin Prague and fired two bullets into his spine
 By the afternoon of June 10, l942, the Nazis, by their story, had killed 261 Czechs in revenge for Heydrch They killed two women. They killed authors and professors. They not satisfied Shortly before o'clock that evening, armed men--it would be insult to the profession to call them sodiers--began to into the little Bohemian vil- lage The same evening the Berlin radio announced that arms illegal radio station subversve printed material and many rationed commodities had been discovered. It then stated:
 After these facts had been ascertained all male adults of the town shot, while the women placed ill concentration camp and the children entrusted to appropriate educational institutions The township leveed to the ground and the of the community extinguished The inhabitants of I4idice, near Kladno, numbered 483."
 This is the way the Nazis made the town of Iadice known throughout the world

Good and bad aspects contend in the horoscope for today. The morn ing is promising for initiative that is not dependent upon financial sup port.
 HEART AND HOME
 Omens of disappointment for many families are interpreted in terms of homecomings for Service men. Unexpected developments in the Pacific may postpone returns to the United States.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The stars seem to presage decid- ed stiffening of Government poli- cies affecting business. The outlook for this month and next is good. Economies will be practiced as well as preached in Washington.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Unity in national planning and closer cooperation between the and Congress is prophe- sled. Partisan prejudices will be tem- porarily submerged but later will be revealed in discussions of peace problems.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek comes under aspects that seem to promise increased authority over the political factions that long have him.
