our normal sources of supply of fats

War efforts and economy,
Aar problem is to replace all of
this loss. It is being replaced partly
by some imports from oust good
Weeds in Central and South Amer-
ica but the biggest source of all has
never been fully tapped. That source
is in our own kitchens. Needless to
say, this Canada -wide .campaign de-
pends almost entirely on the home
front—on the continued efforts of
everyone in Canada. This is a chall-
enge to every Canadian housewife,

Waste Fats and Bones Are Needed!
You now havea definite plan for
disposal, namely:
1. Take Fats and Bones to your
meat dealer who will pay you the
established price. 0r-
2. You can donate your Fats and
Bones to your local Voluntary Sal-
vage Committee in any place tehy
collect them.
It has been determined that Ger-
man resistance in the First World
War was seriously undermined, by
the acute shortage of Fats brought
about by the British blockade. Proof
of this is found in the fact that the
methodical Germans started a Fat
Salvage program as far back as 1937. -
They have employed elaborate meth-
ods to conserve every pound of
waste fats and oils to avoid a repeti-
tion of their experience in 1918.
Today in Germany, the salvage of
fats and oils is the Gestapo Way
by compulsion.
Unless measures are taken to in-
crease the supply of fats, Canada
may be faced with a deficiency of
thousands of pounds of glycerine for
explosives.

WARNING
CANADA FACES A WOOD -FUEL FAMINE
NEXT WINTER
ARE YOU one of the Canadian householders who burned fences, doors,
and even flooring to keep warm in this winter's sub -zero weather?
Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape
through?
In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater
hardships loom unless you take immediate action.
The shortage already has affected many communities ... total stocks of
dry wood are nearly exhausted ... in some places the small supply of green
wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency.
Throughout most of Canada, fuel -wood is obtained not far from where it is
consumed. Its, production and distribution are the business of local citizens.
The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood -fuel shortage is
so serious that even with the full co-operation .of everyone in affected' com-
munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided
to stimulate the output of wood -fuel by assisting those normally engaged
in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures
will be adopted;
1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all
commercial fuel -wood contracted for and cut on or before
June 30, 1943, and held to dealers' account on that date.
2 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his
discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation
costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel -wood, particul-
arly in
articul-arlyin cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary
to contract for fuel -wood at locations outside the area from
which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain
any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from
the Coal Controller before contracting for such supplies.
3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's
cost all commercial grades of fuel -wood on which a subsidy
of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers'
-hands as at May 31, 1944.
4 Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary
equipment.
5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily
in response to this appeal to engage in fuel -wood cutting, will
be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out
their regular occupation as farmers and will be, given all the
rights of deferment of military service which such an occupa-
don now carries,, Such temporary absence should not, however,
interfere with agricultural production.
Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs,
and all other groups in communities where wood -fuel is burned, are urged
to begin at once a rapid surveyof their local situation, and to take imme-
diate action to relieve" the shortage,
