FAT THRIFT

The need seems to be desperate for
every hOmemaker to save every ounce
of used household fat Our industries
/ manufacturing goods for the home
front and for the battle fronts need
fats for a great number of eXplos-
ives, medicines, and other military and
civilian needs
Wise use of leftover kitchen fats is
the first step in helping the present
fat salvage campaign Turning in all
fat drippings and leftovcrs indiscrimi-
nately for salvage, may not do so
much as using the good-flavorcd left
over fats in home cooking, and then
contributing to salvage any excess
fat The housewife who turns in four
pounds of good bacon drippings, for
example, and then buys a four-pound
jar of fat for her home cooking does
not increase the overall fat supply,
and individually loses points and
money on the exchange.
Fats saved from cooking spoil more
quickly than new fat, so should be
kept cold and used as soon as possible.
If they are used promptly, they can
be poured directly from the pan into
a glass or jar and then kept in the
refrigerator. If they are to be held
for some time, strain through a clean
cloth before storing, because fat con-
tanning particles of meat or other
food turns rancid faster than strained
fat.
Every ounce of excess fat in the
home should be strained free of meat
scraps, kept free of water, and kept

as non-rancid as possible. This should
be put into tin containers and turned
in to one Of your local grocery stores

Of non-rancid fat you will be paid
four cents and given two red ration

There were faces to remember in the

There were fires of grief and fear that

There were sparks of recognition that
