Our Country Needs Still More Used Fats
... and We're the Folks to Save Them!
?
OUR domeitic supplies of fat* and oils will be approximately
one and one-half billion pounds less than last year. Yet thou
sands of tons are still needed to hdp make countless essentials
for the battle-^nd home-fronts.
We country people must remember that because of the meat
situation, we are in a better position to save fats than city
folks. That's why we can't afford to miss a trick!
So let's save not only the big amounts from frying and roast
ing, but also meat trimmings and plate scraps. Melt them down
and add the liquid fat to the salvage can. Skim sryips and gravies. S
Every drop is important.
When your salvage can is full, take it to your butcher and get
2 red points and up to 41 for each pound. If you have any diffi
culty, c-ill your County Agent or Home Demonstration Agent.
