NTORD comes from Washington that
w the fat-salvage problem has got to
be licked in the small cities, the towns and
on the farms.
We women have to save enough used fats
in our kitchens to help make munitions,
medicines, fabrics, soap for military and
civilian use, and many other essentials.
The job, to date, has been done largely
by city people, because arrangements for
collecting the fats were made in the cities
first. And these city folks are turning in
more than twelve million pounds month!
Now we're called on. And will the women
on the farms and in the towns and small
cities break that record?
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1945-04-16
So the city folks have done it!
Well, WATCH OUR SPEED!

Don't worry Just watch our speedl
HOW TO DO ~: Save all used fats in tin
can. Keep it handy to the stove. Scrape
your broilers and roasting pans, skim soups
and gravies, for every drop counts. Keep
solid pieces of fat, as meat trimmings and
table scraps, in bowl.
Melt down once a week when your ovens
going, add the liquid fat to the salvage can.
Take the can to your butcher as soon as
it's full He will give you two red points
and up to four cents for every pound. If
you have any difficulty, call your County
Agent or Home Demonstration Agent.
This message is approved by VIA and
OPA, and paid for by Industry.

would actually change the course
of the stream with the result that
fresh lake water would flow into
the heart of the city. Wagner did
not say that he had assurance
that such a possibility would re-
suit but, rather that the posi-
bility, is deserving of thorough
study.
The Mayor stated that the riv-
er has been a source of financial
loss to the city and its residents
for many years and concerted
effort should be made to urge the
War Department to do something
about it.
Expressing the desire to see
the Clinton river become an as
set instead of a liability to the
city, Wagner urged that every
agency should fortify themselves
with reports on damages caused
by the floods and to report at
the hearing.
City Engineer Ernest Pettin-
gill upon inquiry by the mayor
stated that the city is faced with
two alternatives as flood control
procedure. He said that it could
either support plan to have a
canal built from Shadyside to
Lake st. Clair or have the river
dredged and widened.

Urge Delay
in Peocetime
DFdft PIons

WASHINGTON, June 7 Up,
- Delay in consideration of
peacetime draft legislation was
urged today by the Catholic
hierarchy in the United States
as the House Postwar Military
Committee met to hear more op-
position witnesses.
The views of Catholic Arch
bishops and Bishops were stated
IN a letter to Chairman Wood
rum (D-VA) from the Very Rev.
MSgr. Howard j. Carroll, Gen.
eral Secretary of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
Woodrum made the letter
public as the committee arrang-
ed to hear those who could not
take the stand yesterday when
the opposition opened its drive
after two days of testimony
from proponents of Universal
military training.
The stand of the Catholic Pre-
lates, Monsignor Carroll advised
Woodrum, was based on these
considerations
A matter so important
should await decision until the
end of the war when it can be
known what the international
situation will be-"
Those now in the Army and
Navy should be given an op-
portunity to express their
views"
Military 3 requirements until
tie end of the war can be met
by extention of the Selective
Service Act.

bonds toward S5O3,956 quota.
No report on sales to corpora
tons for the county was issued,
Clark explaining that the re-
ports would not be available I'M
til after June ID.
In order for the area to top
its quota both Clark and
Schwartz issued appeals to the
public and to the individualists
who solicit sales to back the
drive to the utmost and to
make a concerted effort to push
Mount Clemens and Macomb
county for the top.
Schwartz stated that retail
stores have been doing a great
job in selling bonds but he add
ed that everyone must pitch in,
not just few.
In issuing his appeal to the
county, Clark stated that the
buying of war bonds will speed
victory over Japan which should
serve as an added incentive to
the people.

Dummy Sales
 Not Permitted

Copies of all stories in the Mirror concerning the granting
 of deeds by the townslte trustee
 were sent to the trustee at Ju-
 neau for checking following pub lication, and a correction on a I statement made based on avail
 able information here was receiv-
 ed this week from George w.
 Folta, counsel at large for the
 Department of the Interior. The Mirror story in question said that following issuance of
 restricted deeds, sales to a white
 person could be made and that
 after the white person received
 the unrestricted deed the native
 could purchase" the property
 back under unrestricted condi-
 tions.
 MT. FoIta's letter said this IS not possible. "'The law prohibit ing the issuance of unrestricted title to Indians and Eskimos," he explained, cannot be circum- vented by the mere use of dum- mics, for as soon as it is discov- cred that any tract applied for by a white person had been or is then in the occupanCy Of 8 re- stricted person, the pretended transfer from the original occu- pant to the dnmmy would not be recognized and the application would be denied. Only where contemplated sale is made in entire good faith and the circum- stances clearly indicate that it will inure to the benefit of the Indian or Eskimo, will such a
 transaction be approved. Inci- dentally the local land office IS ] not authorized to approve sales from Indians or Eskimos to white persons. The approval in all cas- es is by the Secretary of the h. terior."
