SALVAGED FAT MAKES SOAP;

“It takes 6% pounds of salvaged
fats per month to make a months’
s „pp|y 0 f soap f 0r nlyHe if, m y hus-
band and two youngsters,” figures
out flali McArdie, wife of New York
illustrator, Jay McArdie.
» “To keep the kid* and the house
clean just normally—not counting
something like

cleaning'— takes
approximately 8
bars of toilet
soap, 4 bars of
yellow soap and
-I 4 boxes of pack¬
m soapeaoh aged laundry month.
According to ex-
'l>erts’ figures, it takes 6% pounds
of used cooking fat to make my
fcionth’s supply of soap.” 4
f Mrs. McArdie realises that she
7ises soap every day. and therefore
«houtd save fat every day. For
■where there is fat, there is soap,
«nd keeping the Venetian blinds,

um, and windows of a seven room
Louse clean requires a lot of soap.
Add to that the laundry of Robin,
age two, and John. 6 months, and
quantities of soap become an abso-
lute necessity in this household.
Waste Makes Soap
The Department of Agriculture
kas discovered that in the prewar
days of plenty, 5110,000,000 pounds
of used fat annually were thrown
down the drain.
500,000,000
pounds of house¬
hold grease is
enough to make
20 bars of laun¬
dry soap a year
lor every person in the country.
One pound of salvaged fat is
enough to make one large package
of granulated laundry soap, about
six bars of laundry soap, or about
five bars of toilet soap. During 19(5
enough fat was salvaged and turned
over to meat dealers in this country
to make approximately half of the
toilet bar soap, ali ot the laundry
bar soap, or about 25 < ~, of the heavy-
duty packaged laundry soaps, or
twice as much as was needed to
produce the fine fabric paikaged

from appearing on the fields
in these cities.”
The cancellation of the
games here because the Mon¬
treal management insisted' on
the pr'.v lege of using their
Negro players is looked upon
by Negro fans as a direct slap
in the face. In general, they
are greatly incensed and the
concensus of opinion is that
the Negro attendance at local
Sally League games, which be¬
gin on April 17, will be greatly
affected by this un-American
incident.
In fact, the matter has so
aroused the regular Negro at
tendants at league games that
many of the larger Negro civic
organizations have taken the
matter up in their meetings
and have decided to withdraw
their patronage.
PRIZE WINNING ESSAYS
Pon Untied Pa«* 7
Negro newspapers are similar
to ordinary American newspa¬
pers, particularly those circu¬
lating among the lower classes.
Many of the dissimilarities arc
only the exaggerations of com
mon American traits, called
forth by the caste situation.
For a perspective, it is impor-
tant to keep this constantly in
mind when discussing the
characteristics of the Negro
press in terms of dissimilari¬
ties. As already mentioned,
the Negro press is typically an
additional paper. More white
na ff rs P robabl y bou ^t
and read b * ^groes than- , Ne¬
gro papers. The Negro papers
therefore largely supplement
the ordinary papers with Ne¬
gro news and opinions. Even
in this field they are not with¬
out competition. A few liber¬
al white newspapers in the
South present non-controversi-
al news for the local Negro
world. There are, however,
two types of indirect competi¬
tion. Firs| the provision of
some Negro news in “black
star” editions and in the reg-
u ] ar hneral newspapers pre-
/ents the Negro press from car-
rying on a completely effective
by an acute shortage of soap and
other industrial products using
soap or the by
products of soap
in their manu¬
facture, in other
countries there
is a dearth of
the food fats
necessary for
the maintenance of minimum stan¬
dards of health.
4 ) Re use Fat*
Because food fats and industrial
fats are largely interchangeable,
American housewives are being
asked by President Truman's Fam¬
ine Emergency Committee to use
and re-use all food fats, and then
after they have gotten the food
value of them, to turn in their used
fats for industrial uaes.
This will mean that industry will
not have to make as great demands
on the over all supply of available
fats and oils and that more food
fats can go to feed the starving.
Save Every Day 1
The Famine Emergency Commit¬
tee points out that a teaspoon of
fat a day saved
by every man,
woman and
school child in
the United
States will mean
a total saving of
at least one mil¬
lion pounds of
fat a day.
Mrs. McArdie, and every other
housewife, has a tremendous Oppor-
tunity now to help herself, and the
rest of the world, by using less fats
and oils, getting the maximum good
out of what she does use, and then
turning over fats that are no longer
fit for food to meat dealers for four
cents per pound.
In that way, fats and oils will do
double-duty, first as food, and then
to make personal and household
goods such as laundry and bar soap,
paint, paper, fabrics, leather prod¬
ucts. and allow more equitable dis¬
tribution of fats and oils through¬
out the fat hungry world.
