the other day the paper said five German tanks knocked out by allied anti-tank guns you know something every one of those tanks was blown up by shells contributed by patriotic housewives that's a fact those shells came from women who had turned in their waist fat from every pound of fat enough glycerin was made to make the Gunpowder for one anti-tank shell and those are the shells that did the job when was the last time you turned in your waist fat you know by saving only one tablespoon full of waste about a day you can turn in a pound a month how sure I know rationing makes it harder but remember the government wants only waste fat the fat you usually throw away so save every drop of fat from cooking meats fish soups everything when you can't use it anymore pour it into any clean container and take it to your butcher he'll pay for every pound get your waist fat into the fight don't throw it out turn it in keep our guns firing be sure to listen to the next episode of the Goldbergs grace tries every excuse and nature supplies the best one this is clayton collier speaking for Procter and Gamble and saying do as the dozens do let does the new kind of soap do everything in your wash
