Mayor Urges More
Used Fats Be Saved

Mayor Richard H. Sweeney knows
the why and how of saving more
used fats. He'd be handy man in
any kitchen from what we've learned
of his culinary knowledge. This
was revealed yesterday at the City
Hall where the Mayor was inter
viewed in connection with the gov
ernment's fat-salvage program.
Concerning the drive to save more
fats, Mayor Sweeney said: Every
one should get behind the govern
ments campaign for more used fats,
so that more soaps and other scarce
goods, such as fabrics and electrical
appliances, can be produced, and so
that more food fats can be released
for the hungry peoples of other
countries. think that no one would
willingly waste used fats after learn
ing how essential they are to the
daily well-being of each of us. The
government will let us know when
to stop. Until then, we must save
every drop"
The Lever Brothers Company,
soap manufacturers, who have long
supported the Governments cam
paign for more used fats, are now
putting on special campaign in
this locality. The company's local
representative is supplying all local
meat dealers and butchers with
special posters that will bring to the
attention of their customers the
urgent need for still more and more
used fats, for which your butcher
will pay you four cents a pound. So
don't waste even an ounce of used
fat. Save every drop and take ii
to your nearest butcher or meat
store.

the ground and raising crops" he
advised the young people, sits your
self you're raising, too. Every row

Downtown Stores
Damaged BY Fire
Blaze In Potomac Hotel Causes
Water Damage To 3 Stores.

A fire which broke out on the
third floor of the Potomac Hotel,
North Potomac Street at an early
hour yesterday morning, resulted in
extensive damage by water to three
stores-Bikle's Shoe Shop, the Bon
Ton and Hoffman's, all three of
which were seriously damaged some
months ago, when fire destroyed
the Ramaciotti garage.
Good work by the fire companies
kept the blaze confined to the upper
story of the hotel, but the resultant
water did an unestimated amount
of damage to the three stores, which
were unable to open for business
this morning.

Mrs. Charles Tedrick, Big Spring,
was burned about the face and hands

burned everything in the room.
Mrs. Tedrick had just stepped out
of the room when the explosion oc-
cured and rushing back immediate
ly, she tried to extinguish the blaze
with sand and crystals Neighbors
assisted her in removing the burn
ing materials, which probably help
ed in keeping the fire confined to
the one room.
