peculiar to a war is carried on. And
by many a man who never before had
done that type of work. Take the
case of Pfc. Wade C. Humphrey from
Bethune.
In civilian life Humphrey worked
on a farm, became dulte- proficient at
that type’ of work. Then Uncle Sam
beckon^. He has been in the service
for better than two years. As the
unit went further westward, the need
for a barber became more acute.
Humphrey acquired dippers and
shearers, and with more than 100 men
to experiment .%ith, has graduated

Mr. lyilliams said this response had

"WPB’b functions in war produc
tion and the maintenance of civilian
supplies make It acutely aware of the
need for«fata. 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
