Fats make glycerine aid glycerine makes high explosives. Bones produce, fat. Also glue for war industry. Don't throVe away a single drop of used fat- bacon grease, meat drippings, frying fats- every kind you use. ^They are urgently needed to win this war. Strain all drippings through an ordinary strainer into .a clean wide-mouthed can. Save your scrap fat (cooked or uncooked) and all types of lones-cooked, uncooked of dry. When you have collected a pound or more of fat dripping, take it to your meat dealer who will pay you the established price for the drip- ping and the scrap fat. Or you Can divot.: of • ihem through any Municipal or Salvage Committee collection system IN EFFECT in your community. Be a Munition maker right in your own kitChen. For instance, there is enough ex- plosive-power hidden in ten pounds of fat to fire 49 anti-aircraft shells. So-every day, this easy way, keep working for Victory for the duration of the war.

The static water is for use in fight- ing fires in ease the" water mains are destroyed or arc inadetAtate, In many cases the basements ,Of buildings that have been demolished are cleaned out„ eemented, and filled with water, Tim number of stores that are clos, ed, is astonishing, Most store wind- ows have been broken by concussion even when the buildings have not been hit, and there -woad not be enough glass to replace them even it if were safe to do so, Therefore the windows. have been closed up, leaving only small panes of glass three or four feet square in the centre, • The acute ,shortage of labour is ap- parent in many things, as for instance, in •the elevator services, or "lifts" AS they are known there, People are ex- pected always to walk downstairs, no matter bow many stories, and to walk pp if not more than three stories, than one bath a week, and then to have No one is 'supposed to have more only five inches or less of water in the tub, The hotels no longer give a fast service for laundry, and one must al- low several days 'before expecting its return. Debris from bomb damage has been well cleaned up, but little or no at- tempt has -been made to rebuild. Plans for a finer and more beautiful London still exist only on paper: Transportation is much better than we expected. Taxicabs are under severe restrictions as to gas and speed; but it is possible to get one when re- quired, with a little 'delay. The prin- cipal method of travel, in London is to take the underground , or a bus, and there are plenty of the latter. They are of the double deck type. People queue Up for them in a very orderly manner which is a tremendous im- provement over, the ,crowded confusion usually found around. the entrance to a street car in Canada, The London subway system is said to be the finest in the world, and it probably is. Most of the subways are much deeper in the ground than those in America. ,For -that reason they have suffered little or n6 damage, and the stations make excellent shelters. At nearly all these stations there're now double deck iron -cots, similar to those used hi soldiers' barracks. We were told that there are still a •few people who regularly sleep in the sub- ways, but it was a long time before we actually saw some of them. There are many things in London, that are the same as ever. The pig- eons haven't left Trafalgar Square, al- though there may not be quite so many. It is a mystery what they live on, as people are not supposed to give them any good food. • And the orators 'still hold forth in Hyde Park.. Our hotel was just across the street from that part of the park where Free Speech is enjoyed or abused, according to your viewpoint. Here the soap box speakers can- say anything they wish without fear of prosecution. There are not so many listeners now, but on the Sunday that we went over to hear the orators there was o fair. sized crowd. It is excel- lent free entertainment, as there al- ways are 'a number hOlding forth on all kinds of subjects.

A large proportion of the audience is uni- form - probably men on leave, Although only automobiles for; mili- tary or, authorized purposes are used, there are many on the streets, Some of them are driven by gas which is carried in huge fabric bags which cover the roof of the car, and are about four feet, high when inflated. We were told that one -filling of, gas will drive the care .about a hundred, miles and costs about six dollars, Many of the signs in London were of great interest to us. On one restaurant, there -was a sign "Kidney- Bacon-Toad", which caused us to wonder if the people of London were even eating toads. However, it was explained that "Toad" is the name for a sort of sausage roll. Another 'restaurant had a sign, "This restaurant will stay open during raids as long as the walls are standing." Another sign on a badly wrecked building read "You may think, this is bad, but you should see our Berlin branch." On the whole, we found the people of London to be cheerful and optim- istic, so busy at the task of winning the war that they have little time for anything else. Everyone is anxious to help strangers, (and the city is full of them), so we found it surprisingly easy to make our way around, SCHOOL CONCERT WAS LARGELY ATTENDED the Insurance on the roads of this Township, with Lloyds of London, be renewed.
