ANOTHER CALL FOR
WASTE FATS
j n. —r ’
Waste” fats- * itTedM
for the war effort because
jthey contain 10 per cent
glycerine. From each 10
pounds of fats you turn in,
one pound of glycerine can
be made.
Glycerine is used in many
essential ways. It is used
in the Raw State •for guin
mechanicisms, hydraulic eq
uipment, pumps, ships, ste
ering gears, compasses and
depth charge mechanicisms
:in the ReSln form for med
ical supplies for our armed
j forces and for us on the
! home front. Glycerine is
;used as a base for explosiv
es. One pound of glycerine
as a base will make 21-4
pounds of nitro-glycerine.
Our government \ expects
from Yancey county 8,601
pounds of fats which will
make 860 pounds of glycer
ine and 1.935 pounds of
nitro-glycerine.
Save your extra fat from
beef, lamb, veal, pork, sau
sage, bacon, fish, poultry,
soup, gravy, vegetable
cooking oil, fats that accu
mulate at water level of
| dish water. Strain your
, fat in large mouth tin cans
and take it to Ray’s Groc
ery store or Farmers Fed
eration, you will be paid 3
cents a pound for it.
If every citizen could
save at least one-half pou
nd of waste fat this year
think of the amount our
county would turn in.
