Besides their import ance as food, fats are lndlst>ensebie throughout the entire structure of in dustry.” Mr. Nelson said. “Fata are needed in the production of explos ives, medicines, protective coatings, plastics, lubricants, synthetic rubber, soap, and many dther invaluable pro ducts. “Lack of fats was one of the causes of the downfall of Germany in'the last war. One of the resulta of Jap an's conquests was to deprive us of the billion pounds of’oils and fats we fora^eriy Imported each year from Hie Orient. Fortunately, enough fata can be recovered in our kttchena to make up our deflcIL” Blr. -Nelson continued. “We must have at leaat double the quantity of used fata we have been getting from households.*’ Mr. Nel son stated, “If every housewife will save and turn in all poaaible amounts the problem can be solved overnight. “I am confident American women will not fall us in this important Job the Government has entrusted to them.” Mr. Nelson concluded, ’“The HARDER WEAR CALLS FOR BETTER CARE Business In wartime has you oa your toes—pounding pavements more each day!
