DETROIT, Oct. 2.—(UP)—Police asked Pittsburgh authorities today to look for Helen Rossman, 18, & nursemaid, whc^stteappeared Saturday night wittl foiP-month-old Robert King whg^ his parents were attending a movie.

The missing child’s father is an assistant sales manager for a realty company and the family is of moderate means. Police believed that the girl may have a frustrated mother urge.

Their only other child, Emory, 17, had gone to a party for a serviceman buddy.

TO AMERICAN WOMEN ASKING— i “Will Defeat of Germany Lessen the Need for Saving Used Fats?”

-THE GOVERNMENT ANSWERS

“NO!"

LEE MARSHALL

/'Anthf. contrary, 'S Mrs. America, the need for saving used cooking fats will be as great or greater than ever. Victory over

Germany still leaves the Japs in possession of the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and Malaya —countries from which we formerly imported about one billion pounds of

fats and oils each year.

Even victory over Japan will not ease the situation immediately. Not for a year or more can these areas be brought back to pre-war production

levels.

In the meantime, the need for your used fats will be as acute as ever for these reasons: 1 Even after European victory, we still have Japan to beat. Vast supplies of ammunition, medicines, parachutes, rubber boats, soaps and other battlefield essentials must keep on going to our fighting men in a steady stream. These all require fats to make. 2 Wc must help in the rehabilitation of liberated countries, such as Greece, Norway and the Netherlands, with medicines, machinery, etc. 3 Many factories now producing for war will turn to manufacturing the civilian goods we need so urgently. TUesf factories will consume vast quantities of industrial fata

American farmers are doing everything possible to build up domestic production of fats and oils. But during the next 12 months, because of a smaller hog kill and reduced yields of some oil-sced crops, we expect that approximately a billion-and-a-thirJ pounds less of fats will be produced. Need Greater Than Ever Therefore, more than ever, salvaging used cooking ffcts is an important resource on which the country must continue to lean in order to tide us over. Saving used fats is not a glamorous task. It takes effort. But it is one that only you, the American housewife, can perform for the country. We ask you to continue the yyonderful job you an doing to help speed final Victory.
