 The housewife whose conscience will not allow the wasting of edi- ble fat in these days of critical need for fat will find that edible drippings may be used in place of butter or shortening for season. ing and enriching vegetables, and baked foods, while the fat not fit to eat makes excellent soap with out too much work. The simplest way to make soap is by the cold process. Simply pour lye dissolved in water into melted, strained fat. Six pounds of fat, 1 can of lye in 214 pints of water, the result is 8 pounds of soap. The temperature must be right, the fat around 100 degrees F., the lye solution near 85 degree F. An ordinary or roast thermometer may be used to test the temperature.
 The lye must be added to the cold water slowly as it gets very hot and only a steel kettle or heavy crock should be used for mixing the solution. A stainless steel kettle is best. Avoid the fumes of the lye. Wear gloves. Fol- low directions on the can. Pour the lye solution into the fat slow ly and stir only 10 to IS minutes until it bgeins to thicken. Pour it into wooden box or deep baking pan and cover we'll to keep 1t warm overnight. Ready to use af- ter few weks.
 If 1t does not harden but curdles and stays soft it can be reclaimed by boiling.
 For boiled soap use wastefats and cracklings. Since the mixture foams and boils over it is advis- able to cook soap out of doors over camp fire in a very large kettle. Stir constantly and control the foaming with a dash of cold water. Complete directions may be obtained from the University Extension Service, College, Alas ka.

 Items purchased were all articles that can be put to use in city maintenance and charges will come out of regular departmental bud gets.

 After reading over the list of articles purchased, the council voted to approve payment.
 Several additional matters were handled by the council last night, under the heading of routine busi- ness.
 A complaint by Mrs Peter Hildre regarding a dilapidated dwelling on West Tenth Street led to the presentation by Councilman Don Skuse. for his special cleanup committee, of a list of properties found by the chief of police to be not in accord with the city's re- gently adopted Health and Sani- tation Ordinance. Several proper ties were listed for rebuilding or raging as hazards, and others were pointed out as in conflict with the sanitation code. Owners are to be notified, with the city keeping a watchful eye to see that cor rective measures are taken.
 For the streets committee. Skuse reported that new lights are to be installed at two, possibly three, needy locations and that wood sidewalk repairs and installations have been recommended at several spots.
 The city engineer reported prog ress on replacing piling at the Small Boat Harbor. Adverse weather has delayed piling repairs at the city dock. The mayors ap- ointment as Harbor Master of Alfred F. Bixby, made after con- sultation with the Boat Harbor Committee, was confirmed by the

COUNCIL LAKES STAND FOR INV,
 ORIENT AI0WAY

Juneau is officially going on record as opposed to a United
 States Orient air route from the Midwest via Canada to the exclu sion of a route emanating from the Pacific Northwest.
 Presented last evening by the Aviation Committee of the Juneau
 Chamber of Commerce with a request that the city intervene, on behalf of Q Seattle-based route, at
 coming Civil Aeronautics Board hearings on North Pacific air routes, the city council last night authorized the mayor to file brief of intervention with CAB.
 It has been suggested that Ju- neau join with Ketchikan in send ing representative to Washington, D. C., to express the citys posi- tion, but the spokesman for the Aviation Committee stated that there is little likelihood such action could be taken in time. The best hope, he said, is to file a brief, to be presented by one of the North west attorneys already in attend ance on the forthcoming hearing which will set the CABS final se- lection of one or more of the seven carrier applicants for cer- tification across the North Pacific
 It is to be stressed that this city has no objection to a direct Alaska Midwest route, if it is in addition to a primary route to the Orient originating in the Pacific Northwest with stop in Alaska
 The determining factor in the decision made last night was the feeling, expressed by Councilman R. II. Williams, that Alaska has a community of interest with the Pacific Coast and especially with the Northwest-that what will benefit the western part of Con- tinental United States will most benefit Alaska.
 It was pointed out by the c. of c. spokesman that only An- chorage of Alaska's cities has come | cut at all forceably in favor of the l trans Canadian route, which has been recommended by CAB ex- aminers and public counsel, over ! an cut-of- Seattle airway, though Fairbanks also has gone against jeopardization of the interior sky way. And even Anchorage, he said, {, is divided about 50-50 i'll it's opinion-when noses are counted.
 The c. of c. committee asked for a record of action by the city unofficial organizations such as chambers of commerce are l, not permitted by the CAB to file exceptions.
