the necessary production of glycerine
for use in explosives.
The goal of each family is between
one and two pounds of waste cooking
fats per month, or 17 pounds per
year, which should yield well over
half a billion pounds per year. Any
housewife who saves 17 pounds dur
ing the year has salvaged enongh to
make more than a pound and a half
of glycerine. This amount of gly
cerine will provide sufficient power,
when used in a propellent gun pow
der, to fire 86 anti-tank shells at
our enemies. Seventeen pounds of
waste kitchen fats will also produce
nearly ten pounds of dynamite.
