But some of us don't know all the ways we can do it. Here are a few points I've foupd helpful.'*—Kate Smith IT MANY WOMEN SAYl "But I never here fete left over.” Certainly it’s good economy to re*use your Tats... but there’s always •ome left over even after that...and that little is more important tha" you can imagine. Only one tablespoonful of used fat will help make 5 machine-gun bullets. So there just can’t ever be too little to savel Come on, everybody, scrape your broiling pan, your roaster, skillet* Save meat trimmings and scraps of fat left on plates. OTHERS TELL ME: “But my fats are often too dark to turn in.” It doesn’t make a mite of difference how dark or blackened ...or what smelly things like onion or fish you’ve cooked in your fat. Every drop of it will help make parachutes, synthetic rubber, soaps for the fighting and war fronts. Don’t feel ashamed to hand it in to your butcher. If you save every bit of fat you possibly can, you’re doing a job to be proud ofl THEN YOU HEAR: “But what sort of container will I use?'* Any kind of tin can will do. The next time you open a can of fruit or juice or soup or vegetables, save it. But please don’t use glass ...it almost always breaks and makes the fat difficult to salvage. When the can is full, take it to your butcher. For every pound, you'll get 2 red points. If you have any difficulty disposing of your fats, call your Home Demonstration or County Agent.

These facts, coupled with the fact that April finds us with a new car stock pile down to 8,000 point up the urgent need for ev ery motorist to take every pos sible care of his car and its tires. ■“I cannot stress, too strongly, Mr. Coleman said, that motorists who allow tires to go beyond the re capping stage may find themselves walking.” Food Stamps — OPA’s District Director E. H. Talbert today issued a reminder to South Carolina housewives that several food stamps will expire this coming Saturday. While remind ing consumers that Blue Stamps X-5, Y-5, Z-5, A-2, B-2 and Red Stamps Q-5, R-5, and S-5 expire March 31 he urged book holders not to use these stamps unless the food is actually needed. Potatoes — Consumers will pay two cents a pound more for Texas grown white potatoes between now and April 20th, OPA announced today. This slight advance was made necessary by adverse growing conditions af fecting crop yields. Electric Hot Plates — Specific dollars and cents retail prices on single and double burner unbranded electric hot plates have been established, it was announced today by OPA’s District Price Ex ecutive, George W. Tomlin. The maximum price of single unbrand ed hot plate is .95c and double burner $2.98. Any federal, state or municipal excise tax may be added to these prices; provided each tax is separately as was stated. Gasoline — District OPA Rationing Execu tive, J. E. Parker, announced to day that A-15 gasoline ration cou pons became valid March 22. Each A-15 coupon will be worth four gallons until June 21, leaving the present value of A coupons unal tered. Dealers will have through March 31 to turn in A-14 coupons to their suppliers in exchange for gasoline or surrender them at their War Price and Rationing Boards for ration checks. Dis tributors will have through April 10 to deposit these coupons in their ration banking accounts. OPA again reminded motorists and dealers and distributors that coiipons must be properly indorsed in order to stop illegal trade in coupons. Gasoline — “B-5,” “C-5”, “E-l” and “R-l" gasoline ration coupons and all “D” coupons that are not serially numbered will be cancelled after March 31, 1945, the Office of Price Administration has an nounced. At the same time “1st quarter, 1945 T” coupons will ex pire for use by commercial motor vehicle operators. Service station operators will have ten days, or through April 10, to turn these coupons in to their suppliers for gasoline or exchange them at their War Price and Rationing Board for ration checks. Most of these coupons have al ready been used up, OPA said, and it is now desired to remove the few remaining ones from circula tion. However, holders of can celled coupons that represent an unexpired ration may exchange them for valid coupons at their boards. This action is in accord with OPA’s long-standing policy of pe riodic invalidation of gasoline cou pons. ^ ;s- cle -ed an- Tires — The Office of Price Administra tion has announced that the April passenger tire quota allocated to it by the Rubber Bureau of f he War Production Board is down a- bout 40 per cent from Marcl be cause of a decline in civilia.: . ire production. Only 1,000,000 senger tires, including motor tires will be available, con-: with 1.600,000 in March, the nouniement revealed. Commenting on this announce ment, H. N. Coleman, chairn • i ol the McCormick War Price and Rationing Board, said today *hat the seriousness of the situation will bring a tighter contra' of tire certificate accounting, begin ning April 1. The recapping situation, # even apart from the April quota cut, has become steadily worse, he said.

"HOW TO WIN FRIENDS med Author INFLUENCE FEOFLF/ SIMPLE SOLUTIONS OFTEN FOUND S IXTY-THREE miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona, is a ‘ small town named St. David. When it is going full blast ; it has 39 families. The people are poor, hard-working. The ’ residents of the town became alarmed because they were losing their teeth. A check-up was made and it was found ; that half of the people over the age of 26 had false teeth. . Sometimes people in their ’teens had false teeth. The people asked the authorities of the University of Arizona if they would try to find what caused the trouble. , The authorities selected Dr. Margaret Cammack Smith.- who was a nutrition chemist at the university. So she got in her car and rolled away to St. David. She found that the people were suffering from “mottled teeth,” a scourge that attacked and destroyed the teeth. Her first thought was that it was something that the people were eating. So she started work with 19 children, exam- ‘ ining everything they ate—and found they were eating as nearly right as people can. This was a stumper, for here she thought she had discovered the secret. Next she decided to give the children supplemental feed ings to make up for any possible deficiency. So she brought in cod liver oil, milk and viosterol and fairly stuffed it down ^ them. The teeth of St. David were still mottled. The den tist was still the busiest person in town. She decided she would reproduce the mottled teeth in - rats in the laboratory, so she fed the rats a diet deficiency in this or that. The rats continued to have perfect teeth. Arizona is a copper state, so she decided the trouble must • have something to do with copper. She fed the rats small quantities of copper in their food, then examined their teeth. ‘ Their teeth were perfect. She tried every imaginable thing known to science to find out what was causing the trouble. ‘ Nothing that she experimented with got results. She tried involved methods, methods highly complex and scientific*. Failed. One day the thought came to her: “Usually the solution-’ to a problem is something simple. Sometimes it is so simple that it is overlooked. I am going to work on that theory.” She thought of drinking water, for that was simple and' that had been overlooked. She examined the water and', fdund fluorine in it; this is an element of the chlorine family. She gave this water to the rats. Their teeth went to pieces > under it. At last she had discovered the trouble, in a way j that was so simple and evident that she had, until then, coin-' pletely overlooked it. Then she worked out a way to purify? the water of St. David—and now the 39 families are drirtkV ing the water and the dental conditions of the community are so vastly improved as to be astounding. * ; And Dr. "Smith did this by trying something simple mj-.L evident which she had not thought of before. And this hold true in many, many problems in life. The simple thl:^. will be the solution.
