Saving the Waste Fat for the War Effort

From the January 23, 2019, MidWeek  (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1944, 75 Years Ago.

"Although a number of housewives in this community have been faithfully saving their used fats, it is necessary that all should start now and there is an urgent need.

"Since early last month two extra points in addition to four cents a pound have been paid by  meat dealers for a pound of used cooking fat.     This plan was developed by the OPA in order not only to stimulate the saving of valuable waste fats but also as a just return for the housewife for the service of saving the fat."
