ANPA Urges Paper
Mills 10 Keep All
Newspapers Going

The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association in q bulletin Is
sued today on the newsprint situa-
ton declared that mo bona fide
newspaper can be allowed to sus-
pend publication for lack Of news
print" The bulletin expressed hope
that American and Canadian mills
will check their own situations and
do their part in preserving q steady
flow so that all newspapers will
continue to publish. The statement
follows:
1.-THE ANPA is receiving disquiet-
ing reports Of some newspapers be-
ing cut off entirely from news
print source at the end OF this year.
Some are because of expirations OF
contracts which are not being re-
newed but most because of mer-
chants or jobbers supplying COM
paratfyely small users having their
mill connections cut of by mills not
renewing contracts or giving notice
of not continuing supply on same
basis as this and the war years.
"The ANPA recognizes that each
instance has q history all its own
and no generalities may be a COM
plete answer. There were times
when mills sold newsprint to any
one most anywhere but now a form
of selective selling Is in effect.
mo bona f1de newspaper can be
allowed to suspend publication for
lack Of newsprint and the ANPA
expresses the hope now that every
mill in the United States, Canada
and Newfoundland will carefully
check their own situation to be GER
tain that they do their part in pre-
serving a steady flow Of newsprint
so that all newspapers may con-
tinue to publish.
There is not enough newsprint
for every publication to have all 1t
wants, but there Is enough to see
that no newspaper is without any,"

With the lifting of price CEILINGS
there is substantial countrywide
rise in the price paid women for their
salvaged used cooking fat, according
to on-the-spot newspaper surveys.
Reports from representative cities all
over TIE country show that most
meat dealers are paying higher prices
to housewives for used kitchen
grease. Top prices range from six to
ten cents per pound.
Under OPA ruling meat dealers
paid housewives four cents pound
for kitchen grease. Saving fat is now
a much more lucrative job, as these
