NEW WASTE FATS
DRIVE IS STARTED
IN TRANSYLVANIA
AH Housewives Asked To
Co-operate. List Of
Dealers Announced
Housewives in Brevard and
Transylvania are again reminded
by Salvage Chairman Howard
Wyatt to save their waste fats and
to take them to local meat deal
ers and receive 3 cents per pound.
Transylvania has been assign
ed a new quota of 6,121 pounds.
This means that every person in
the county is expected to save at
least a half a pound of fat this
year.
Waste fats are needed in the
war effort because they contain
10 percent glycerine, Wyatt said,
From each 10 pounds of fats you
turn in, it will make one pound of
glycerine. Glycerine is used in
many essential ways. It is used
in the raw state for gun mechan
isms, hydraulic equipment, pumps,
ships, steering gears, compasses.
It is used as a base for explosives.
One pound of glycerine as a base
will make two and a half pounds
of nitro glycerine.
The list of local dealers is as
follows: Mitchem’s Sea Food
market, City Market, A & P
Market, Cash & Carry, Dixie Home
stores, Mull’s market and Carr
Lumber company store.
The Consolidated Hide and Metal
company, of Asheville and J. A.

Pvt. Hale Chamberlain, son of
Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Chamberlain,
of San Carlos, Ariz., formerly of
Brevard, writes in a letter to the
editor of this paper, received this
week, the following interesting
account of himself and his work:
“My purpose in writing this letter
is two fold. I want to tell every
body I knew in Brevard hello and
that I’m still alive. I’m perman
ently stationed at Hammond Gen
eral Hospital, Modesto, Calif, a
medical detachment, and like it
very well. I also want to adduce
the information that rabid dogs
do not necessarily have to be de
capitated but should be locked up
until it becomes apparent whether
they are rabid or not. This would
decrease the tragedy of household
pets being proved non-rabid but
minus a head. The patient who
has been bitten will be given
treatment anyway until the report
from Raleigh comes through. It’s
worth thinking about.”
Pvt. Lawrence W. Banther, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Dock Banther, of
Lake Toxaway, is a navigator in
the army air force, stationed now
at Patterson, N. J. He has been
in service since last August. He

ing course of two months.
