President Truman
Finds He Cannot
Enjoy the Fair
CARUTH ERSVILLE, Oct. o
(UP) President Truman was a
thoroughly frustrated man at the
fair yesterday. He couldn't throw
a single ball at a single bottle and
he couldn't eal cotton conay or
drink pink lemonade.
The cooch dancers were out-of-
bounds for him. So were the
merry-go-round and the ferris
wheel.
All he could do was sit in the
judge's stand at the race track
chew gum and listen to people
cheer him. Because it wasn't their
old friend who attended the fair
for the 11 preceding years it was
the president of the United States,
accompanied by a cortge of big
shots from Washington, secret
service agents and a horde of
Washington correspondents and
photographers. . .

For Used Fats
Help Increase Supplies of Soap and
Other Peacetime Products By Saving
More Used Fats
Industrial fats far short of last year! We are almost down to the bottom of
the barrel. The nation's industrial fat supply is millions of pounds less
than it was in 1944. We need fully as much as last year to help make the
soaps and other civilian goods you want and need so badly. So . . .
If you want more soap and soap flakes . ; . if
you're dreaming of nylons, sheets, cotton fabrics
and want them to hurry back to the store
counter . . . you can help by saving those used
kitchen fats as you never saved before! Suve
every drop, every day !
These fats are vitally necessary to help speed
greater supplies of soaps and hundreds of other
things like new ears, electric washers, irons,
refrigerator and tires. Industry must have
thei fats ... to help jet to you more quickly
the peacetinve products you've been longing to
have fur yearil
So sWm end aenqw wi mm just you did
o faithfully before V-J Day. It il a peace
time ib now i job tluit will help yon,
And to prove how imrrtant it i f auf
Bouemmrrit has iucmend tl pint txmul'
So help meet ti a! jgp
