Salvage drive for used fats urged as war ends
The USDA warns the fat salvage campaign is in a critical phase with a 250 million pound goal in 1945 and collection rates well behind target. With postwar reconversion looming but fat stocks and Pacific copra may not rebound until 1947, homemakers and communities are urged to turn in used fats now. Four cents and 2 red ration points remain paid per pound by butchers and grocers.
