HOME EXTENSION NEWS

Wise " use of leftover kitchen
fats is the first, step in helping
to increase collections of used
household fats critically needed
to make up a deficit in l'J'15 fats

Farm women and homeinak

called on to contribute a large
share of the 250,000.000 pounds
of used fats set as this year's

portunities for salvaging used
fats on the farm are greater than
those of city housewives because
of home production of meats on
the farm and extensive use of
poultry and other .fat sources.
Rendering of waste fat is also
important at butchering lime.

Turning in all fat drippings
and leftovers indiscriminately
for salvage may not do as much
for the nation's fat supplies as
using the good-flavored leftover
fats in home cooking and then
contributing to salvage any ex
cess fat or fat that is strong in
flavor.
The housewife who turns in
four pounds of good bacon drip
pings, for example, and then
buys a four-pound jar of fat for
her home cooking does not in
crease the overall fat supply, and
individually loses points and
money on the exchange.
All leftover fat call be saved

Navy Buildfhg of "
Post-War Vessels
Balked bv Byrnes
WASHINGTON, Mar. 29 (UP)
War Mobilization Direct
James F. Byrnes was revealed
today to have blocked (Be, navy's
plan to build 72 new waOhips
because he was convinced ffley
were intended for the postwar
fleet. ' ' . .. .
A spokesman for Byrnes told
the United Press that Byrnes'
action was taken after consulta
tion with Secretary of the Navy
James Forrestal and Adm. Ernest
J. King andhad the approval of
the president, He also disclos
ed that Bvrnes was reviewing
the activities of other war agen
cies with a view to ordering cut
backs to conserve materials and
make manpower availablo for
more urgent requirements.
12 Vessels Remain
Three weeks ago; the: navy an
nounced a program for the con
struction of 84 warships as "in
surance" against the possibility
of a greater loss rate as the war
moved closer to Japan.. By ires,
however, held that for the most
part this program was of a post
war character. He did permit
the navy to go ahead with plans
to build 12 escort carriers which
were in the original prograip. .
It was obvious that the navy
was displeased at the slash. For
restal told nowsmn thai he may
ask to have parts of the canceled
program revied.
"We should continue," he said,
"to build ships of types reflect
ing e experience of this war."
Huge Carriers Canceled
Among the ships canceled were
two 45,000-ton super carriers.
These vessels would have given
the- U. S. five ships of this type.
One has already been launched
and two others are under con
struction. .
The program had been author-

Bert Loses the War
Single-Handed
etc--3-
Bert Childcr's house burned
down last week, and the only
good thing that came out of it
was it cured him of swearing.
Bert just couldn't think of
words to fit the occasion, so he
just gave up.
lici t admits it was his own
fault. Started with a field tiro
Vvhich he thought he had under
control, avrl when he turned his
back a minute for a breathing
spell, the lire sprung up twice as
fierce. By the time the firemen
arrived, there wasn't ninch that
they could do.
From where I sit, there's a
moral in Bert's experience. A lot
of us feel we've got the fires of
this war under control . . . that
wo can relax a little, maybe let
up on buying bonds, donating
blood, or fighting inflation.
Just like Bert lost his fight
against the fire, wo can logo this
fight against our enemy If wc let
down now. Because, war, like
fire, is never over till the last
spark Is extinguished.
