KATE SMITH asked
to write this message
on Saving Used Fats! J j j
"The help of every women it needed in earing J j
teed iete iot hundrede of bettM&eld end home
front eeeentiele. But eome of ue don't know ell j
the were we oen do it. Here ere e tew pointe I've i
found helpful."? Kate Smith
!
MANY WOMEN SAYl "But I never here fete left over."
Certainly it's good economy to re-use your fats... but there's always
tome left over even after that...and that little is more important
than you can imagine. Oily one tablcspocoful of u*cd fat will help
make 5 machine-gun bullet*. So there just can't ever be too little
to aavel Come on, everybody, scrape your broiling pan, your .
roaster, skillet. Save meat trimmings and scraps of fat left on plate*.
OTHttS mi Mis "But my fata an often too dark to turn
In." It doesnt make a mite of difference bow dark or blackened
...or what smelly things like onion or fish you've cooked in your
fat. Every drop of it will help make parachute*, synthetic rubber,
soaps for the fighting and war fronts. Don't fed ashamed to hand
It in to your butcher. If you save every bit of fat you possibly can,
^ou're doing a job to be proud oft
THIN YOU HIAfti "But what tort of oonftintr wffl I uwP"
Any kind of tin can will do. The next time you open a can of fruit
or juice or aoup or vegetables, tare H. But please don't uae 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,
youll get 2 red points. If you have any difficulty disposing of your
fats, call your Home Demonstration or County Agent.
