Urges Saving Of Fats At a joint meeting of home demonstration council members of Macon and Swaim counties held at the Agricultural building Fri day, August 7, thirty-five women were present to hear Mrs. Estelle T. Smith of State college. Mrs. Smith is assistant to the Stale home agent and also -chairman of the women's division of the State Salvage committee. Those present were urged to par ticipate in all salvage campaigns, especially in the waste fats to make explosives. Mrs. Smith stat ed that it was economical to use all f.ats in the home for the mak ing of soaps, hut that less fats could be used for seasoning in most homes. Homemakers were asked to pour all fats in wide-mouth cans, keep fat in a container until a pound has been collected, than take this fat to a meat dealer. If fats are kept until rancid, the glycerine content is reduced. At Farm and Home week held at State college in the past, Mrs. Smith has given courses in the proper methods of conducting meetings. Special points in par liamentary law were taken up at the Friday meeting. Mrs. J. S: Ray, president of the Macon council, was in charge of the meeting. Eleven of the fifteen home demonstration clubs in Macon coumty were represented by one or more members. Another 'Little Red Hen' Does More Than Duty Robert Ramsey of Tellico has added the last curiosity to the collection of rarities displayed in The Franklin Press window. Last week he brought to the Farmers' Federation a huge egg, weighing five ounces about three times the size of a normal egg (and four times the size of some we are buying these days). It was presumably laid by a New Hampshire Red hen. B.T.U. Elects Officers The Macon County Baptist Training Union met at the Franklin Baptist church Tuesday, August 4.
