Fats make glycerine and glycerine makes high explosives. Bones produce fat. Also glue for war industry. Don't throw 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 bones—cooked, uncooked or 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 dispose of them through any Municipal or Salvage Committee peUeglion system IN EFFECT to your oot+tnnittt_ig, Bea intra tion Master right is your own kitchen. For instance, there is' enough ex- plosive power hidden in tea pounds of fat to fire 49 anti-aircraft shelf' So --every day, this easy way, keep working for Victory for the duration . of the wax. off ;��•:..: ...itiaSr, .µiii.. a ., �,;� ..,,�.,, ,_ _ .....

Charters, who represented the Can- adian Weekly Newspaper Associa- tion in a recent tour overseas. Conferences With Cabinet Ministers By Walter R. Legge As mentioned in an earlier article, in addition to the conference which we had with Britain's Prime min- ister, inister, we had informal meetings with a nemher of the Cabinet Ministers. Naturally as editors we were particularly interested in meeting the Minister of Information, the Hon. Brendan Bracken. Before ills appoiriment to this post in July, 1941, Mr. Bracken was Pa"liament- ary Secretary to Prime Minister Churchill. He had had practical publishing experience, having been editor of "The Banker," chairman of the Financial News", and managing director of "The Economist". 1 Mr. Bracken is the fourth • man to have held the Ministry' of lemma- , tion post ,since the beginning of the war. Omr conference with him was an implying one. He told us something about what England is doing, "The people of England," he said, ',aro working harder than any other People have in any war. A series • of i nothing but misfortunes has not. ' destroyed our senses. The English l people are all out in their war effort, but they will still do more. What- ever happens, the English will never r• surrender, We will see this thing through to the absolute end. ,;Some people think that after the war, England will give up her Empire ,and Tenperialism. This is entirely wrong. We will not sell our heritage for a mess of postage. We have •an immense contribution to pey to prosterity, and no govern. anent will ever agree to the die memlberauent .of the British Empire, "The British lion is not a mangy dying animal, nor will be be oonfined in air iron cage. Only in the years t<o collie will the effort o4 England be really understood." Saab was part of the message that the Hon. Brendan Bracken had for ars, We found the Ministry of Informs- , tion most oo-operative during; one• stay fn England. The mesas issued by that dePartmeiit were go effeettve that the others whin. had been issued to tats were almost seiner- Miotie. We Met the Hon. Ernest Bevan, Mdni5ter of Labour, In his ofdee and hada talk with Alm, Mr, Bevan Waa horn in. 1994 and Started his career CS a ta'ueie driver, wee general gent'etstrr of the'tranaport Workeoo` MRS.

Fruit-a-tives are Canada's Largest Selling Liver Tablets. Union., and, in 1940, became Minister of Labour and National Service.. Some people think that he may some day be Prince Minister. ,His is one of the most important tasks today, for Britain is manning the world's greatest navy, Inaiutain- ing armies in nanny parts of the world, supplying a .steady stream of youths for the R.A.F., keeping un hone defences, fire fighting and A.R.P. services, and steadily in- creasing production of war supplies. No wonder Haat he told us there was no .such thing as a saturation point in manpower. He has made a wonderful success of his taste, but it must be remem- bered that this result could not have been attained without the enthusiastic co-operation of the entire population, In• answer to our question he said Haat there is very little v-ilful absenteeisma. But when we asked him about labour troubles in certain plaices, he impatiently replied that the newspapers had to make news, and "virtue has no news value," He thinks that the war is teaching the United Kingdom a great deal about transportation which will have an effect after the war is over We had an interesting confer= ence with the Hon: L, S. Amery; who is !Secretary for India and Burmaa. Ha told us a great deal about the troublesome elements in India: Moat of us went away with a new eonoeption of the India problem. We also began to realize how little most people know about it, Mr. Amery has travelled in most parts of the world, and as we left, he said, "1 wish the war \veva over so that I could pay another visit to Canada." The last conference we had was with Sir R. Stafford Cripps, w110 is probably better known to Canadians than any other minister except the Prime Minister. He has been a very successful legal counsellor, and is now Lord Privy Seal. • He has a very attractive perscn- abity, a. keen mind, and our whole impression of hien was entirely favoura:bio. It was an intensely interesting conference, for he spoke of Russia anti his mission to that country, and about India. and the failure or his mission there. Sir Stafford Cripps is a deeply religious man. A few clays before we met ]aim he had given an address in Bristol which aroused wide dis- mission, IIe declared that he felt the Clnu'ch had failed to give the leadership expected of it, and that it must be reawakened to a realiza- tion of its responsibilities. IIe thinks that the disestablishment of the Church of England is not far off, Next to the conference with Prime Minieter Churchill, , this was the most interesting meeting we back, It gave ins Hauch food for thought, Our 'conferences with Lard Woolton, Minister ,of Food, and the Hon. Heaabert Morrison, Minister of Home Security, have been described ha previous ,articles, Lord 'Woolton, wlaos.o name before he became a peer was Frederick James Marquis, has brought a fine busiaaerte ex- perience to his task, He was chair• man of "Lewis Limited, one of Britain's largest departmental stoma, treasurer of Liverpool Uni- versity, cheiraiaaaa of the Liverpool Medial Research Connell, a director of Martin's J lmk and director of the Royal Inetu aS ce Co, and or many other corporations. • The way in winch he has handled the food +situation 1•n England eomli ria the admiration • o0 all.
