Our Country Needs Still More
Used Fats...And We're the Folks
to Save them!
IN between the good news about the war these
days, careful readers of the paper will see grave
words about a serious national shortage that has a
direct bearing on military and civilian production
schedules.
Our domestic supplies of fats and oils will be
approximately one and one-half billion pounds less
than last year. Yet thousands of tons of fats are
still needed to help make countless essentials for the
battle- and home-fronts.
While country people have been doing an even
better job of saving fats than the city folks, we must
remember that, because of the meat situation, we
are in a better position to save. That's why we can't
afford to miss a trick. ^
So, let's save not only the big amounts from frying
and roasting, but also meat trimmings, plate scraps,
and scrapings. Melt them down once a week and add
the liquid fat to the salvage can. Skim soups and
gravies. Scrape every pan. Every drop is important.
When your salvage can is full, take it to your
butcher, and get 2 red points and up to H for each
pound. If you have any difficulty, call your County
Agent or Home Demonstration Agent.
100,000,000 More Pounds of Used Fats Are Needed This Year!
Approved by WFA and OPA. Paid for by Industry.

CAN YOUR FRUITS
WITHOUT SUGAR
S-1 YS GAS EXPERT
This year's abundant fruit crop
is wasting away because of a mis-
taken idea that fruit cannot be
canned without sugar. Sugar aids
in retaining the color and holding
the shape of fruits, but they can
be successfully canned without
using sugar, according to Julia
Hunter, home economics director
for Lone Star Gas Company.
To can fruits without sugar.
Miss Hunter advised, follow the
standard canning methods, using
plain boiling water or boiling un-
sweetened fruit juice as a substi-
tute for sugar syrups.
Miss Hunter has been busy re-
cently answering requests for in-
formation on sugarless canning.
' In sugarless canning," she said,
"add just enough water or fruit
juice to the prepared fruit to pre-
vent sticking and cook until hot
through. Then pack fruit into hot
jars; cover with liquid in which
fruit was cooked and process in the
boiling water bath."
Many people are freezing their
fruits as the deep freeze method
comes more into use. Miss Hunter
advised that as a substitute for
sugar and sugar syrups in pre-
paring fruits for freezing, corn
syrup may be used. Her recipe for
this is as follows:
"Make a syrup of IV2 cups corn
syrup and 2 cups water; cool. Pre-
pare and pack fruits in containers,
cover with the cooled syrup. As
each container is packed, put in
refrigerator until ready to freeze."
Another method for preserving
fruits is the drying process. Miss
Hunter's formula for this is as fol-
lows:
"Fruits to be dried need not be
peeled. Cut fruit in halves and re-
move seeds. Drop fruit in solution
made of 3 Vz tablespoons sodium
sulphite dissolved in one gallon
cold water, to preserve color. Al-
low to stand 15 minutes. Drain
»
fruit, spread on racks and place in
very low gas oven (150 degrees F.)
until dry. Drying will take from
six to eight hours."
