SAYS SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE:
Despite Victory. Used Fat
.Saving Must Go On!
Every woman in America should know
that our country continues to face a
serious fat shortage. And victory over
Japan won't solve the problem immedi
ately. We must keep on saving used
fats in our kitchens!
If you have any thought that
saving used fat* is one of those
wartime chores we can drop,
now that Victory is here, please
consider these facts and tell
them to your neighbors.
America ttill need*
talvaged fate. Not even at
the peak of our war effort,
when fats Were required for
mountains of shells and bombs
and medicines, in addition to
the ever-present need for soap,
were our needs for salvaging
fat greater than now. Our stocks
have been drained by four long
years of war, and there isn't
enough on hand to meet all
requirements.
Don't let " Victory
ptychology" blind you
to thU national needl
If housewives stop saving fats
now, the shortage will become
even more critical
Apprtvtd h USD A mtd I
w
Don't let a tingle drop
of used fats go to watte!
Little trimmings of fat left on
plates, even the skimmings of
soups and gravies are important*
It is the consistent saving of
these small amounts that counts.
Don't turn in fatt that
can be re-used! But some
fats, such as those rendered from
lamb and mutton, are not suit
able for re-use. Put them im
mediately in the salvage can.
And, with other fats, after you've
got all cooking good out of them,
there is always a little left. No
flatter how little it is, save it.
Your butcher will still give
you 4c and 2 red points for every
pound you turn in. Save consis
tently ? save every drop you
can ? every day ? until Uncle
Sam says the job it done.
