KATE SMITH asked
to write this message
on Saving Used Fats!
"The help ot every woman is needed m saving
used fats for hundreds of battlefield and home-
front essentials. But some of us don't know all
the ways we can do it. Here are a few points I've
found helpful."—Kate Smith
many WOMEN SAYt “But I never have fats left over."
Certainly it’s-good economy to re-use your fats... but there’s always
pome left over even after that...and that little is more important
than you can imagine. Only one tablespoonful of used fat will help
make 5 machine-gun bulkts. So there just can’t ever be too little
to save! Come on, everybody, scrape your broiling pan, your
roaster- 'Ulet. Save meat trimmings and scraps of fat left on nlates.
I f
OTHERS TELL ME: "But my fats are often too dark to turn
in." It doesn’t make a mite of difference how dark or blackened
...or what smelly things like onion or fish you’ve cooked in your
fat. Every drop of it will help make parachutes, synthetic rubber,
soaps for the fighting and war fronts. Don’t feel ashamed to hand
it in to your butcher. If you gave every bit of fat you possibly c:w,
you’re doing a job to tft proud of!
THEN YOU HEAR: "But what sort of container will I use?"
Any kind of tin can will do. The next time you open a can of fruit
or juiOe or soup or vegetables, save it But please don’t use glass
...It almost always breaks and makes the fat difficult to salvage.
When the can is full, take it to your butcher. For every pound,
you’ll get 2 red points. If you have any difficulty disposing of your
fats, call youi Home Demonstration or County Agent.
