Can a woman who cooks for two save used fats?

may get a whole tablespoon (or more!) of fat. That's enough to make S§ machine-gun bullets. Or enough to make protective vaccine for 73 men! So save all meat trimmings and table scraps. Keep them in a bowl in the ice-box. Once a week melt down the fat and add it to the fat salvage can. Any size tin can will do. But no glass containers, please!

y

nh A SCRAPE THOSE PANS . . . the broiling pan, roaster, and frying pan. Never mind how black or smelly the grease may be. It’s all good; all needed for battlefield medicines, munitions and other’ vital materials. Make it a point never to wash a pan until you have scraped every drop of grease into the fat salvage can.

SKIM they cook. Whenever possible, chill them and scoop off the fat. Keep the can right on the back of the stove where it's handy. When it’s full, take it to your butcher and get 2 free red points and 4¢ for every pound. Start saving foday! It’s one of the important things you can do to help win the war!

‘Permanent State Probing Commission Urged in Report.

A recommendation that the state legislature set up a permanent commission with broad powers to investigate operations of state institutions was made today by the legis-

state welfare department. The committee said that it had obtained information during its investigation of the welfare depart ment which showed that an investigation of the institutions was needed. > Nature of the information obtained was not revealed by Earl B. Teckemeyer, committee chairman.

Loophole Found

The committee pointed out that while the board of accounts audits the expenditures of all state funds

{and while the budget committee in-

quires into the needs of the institutions and apportions funds as it deems necessary, no agency functions to see that “Indiana is getting its money's worth.” The governor is too. busy to check thoroughly matters. such as this, the commission -said. “Further,” the report stated, “the assembly meets for 61 days and then goes-home. During that time the institutions are under some strain but as soon as the session is over they can relax because they know that it will be another two {years before anyone is around to | see what goes on.”

Full Power Proposed

The welfare: committee proposed that the institutional commission be given power to look into any institution where expenditure of state funds is concerned with full authority to take testimony, hear complaints and render a report to the next general assembly. “As it is pow,” the committee said, “funds are alloted, many times in a lump sum, and institutions are free to distribute this money as they see fit, Some institutions maintain a wonderful physical front but actually accomplish very little along the line of results that should flow from the amount of

" | funds expended.”

Today's committee report is the

t | last of a series on the investigation

it has- made during the last year. Reforms Being Mapped

Mr. Teckemeyer said that more {meetings of the committee would {be held this month and next and that any additional recommenda{tions decided upon would be an[nounced at that time. Before Nov. 1, the committee ex|pects to have legislation prepared {to cover all proposed changes in {the welfare law. Some recommendations can be placed into ef{fect by the welfare board itself without any legislation. The committee’s completed report will be sent first to the gov- | ernor and then to each member of ithe house and senate.

that, in the Nation's interest and in his own, he must save bis car.

He knows that no new cars have been made for more than two years , . . that the average car is now seven years old . . . that one out of every four cars now in use is ten years old or older!

Plainly, every single car must be kept rolling, because in a total war, every car and truck is a weapon of war.

To coax every last bit of usefulness from the aging engine, chassis, and tires of your car, you must have efficient maintenance service . . . the kind of distinguished service available at your Phillips 66 Service Station.

Phillips Tire.Saving Service includes checking

air pressures at least once a week ::; inspecing for nail holes, cuts and bruises . . . examination tire carcass to warn you when re-capping is advis. able and still possible . . . and crisscrossing with the spare every 3,000 miles.
