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.

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.
