County’s Fat Salvage
Sheriff Is Asked
To Find 14-Year-
Old Bethnne Girl
Half Ounce - Saved, Daily By

ply Medical Needs of
2,805 Wounded
Sheriff J. H. McLeod has- been
asked to seek Miss Esther ^MAe Out
law, 14, of Bethune, who disappeared
over a week ago.
She has been described as five feet
tall, weighing 85 pounds, and was
wearing a navy blue coat over her
regular clothes- when last . seen. She
wears eye glasses the sneiiff was in
formed.
Kershaw County’s 7,480 families
can fill an entire day’s medical needs
of 2,805 battlefront casualties If each
home will save one tablespoon of
waste kitchen fat, it was estimated
by the nation’s largest single collector
of this vital war material.
“There are few direct ways a wife,
mother or daughter can help safe
guard the life of a loved one at the
fighting front, and salvaging used
fats is one of them,’’ said T. A. Con
nors, head of the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea company’s national meat
department. "The value of the 9,-
128,000 pounds salvaged by our cus
tomers throughout the nation last
year is evident in the fact that a
single pound of fat will process about
260 quarts of life-giving blood plas
ma.”
The increased tempo of the war has
Intensified the need for drugs, oint
ments and acids to ease pain and
lessen mortality among our soldiers
as well as for synthetic rubber, pro.
tective coatings and other vital war
materials in which waste fats figure,
Connors pointed out. Further, be
said, the OPA has continued its offer
of red ration points for each pound
of grease turned In at stores.
“Tlie importance of used fats in the
manufacture of the implements of war
and of thousands of products for the
home front is widely recognised,” he

that the Rhine was 30 kilometers
ahead and that was the direction In
which they were going.
Jumping off from the vicinity of
Flammersheim, the company, led by
Lt. Henry Lovette, route 2. Camden,
made fast progress through the open

“First thing we knew we were right
in the middle of a huge ammunition
dump. The Germans around the first
dump saw us coming and set it afire
But we by passed it and started mop
ping up on a 400.yard front.” is the
way Lt. Lovette explained IJ.
Actually, the troops had hit so'-fast
and hard that the Germans didn’t
have time to blow any more of the
dumps. When the company had
ploughed through, 20 dead Germans
littered the ground, nine enlisted men
and one officer, were captured, and
the ammunition came under our con
trol.
According to Major Owen Carter,
134 North 35th street, Omaha, Neb.,
there was ammunition of all kinds in
the dump, much of which can be used
if necessary.
Deeiier into the wood, an abandoned
German motor pool was found, aa well
as gasoline. The vehicles had been
mined.
