read in the newspapers a little while ago about the American anti-aircraft unit that knocked down 15 Nazi planes in a single day yes that's how our fighting men are using the weapons and the shells we give them but here's something you may not know each one of the shells that knocked out those German planes were made from just one pound of waste fat contributed by some American housewife now think of that one pound of waste fat you might have turned in helped to knock out a German plane are you turning in your waste fat regularly remember the government wants only the fat you'd ordinarily throw away but they want all of it solid fat like meat trimmings and poultry fat too just melt melt those solid fats down in your oven whenever it's in use and then pour every bit of fat you don't need into a clean container and take it to your butcher get your waste 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 Molly's last minute decision has great effects this is Clayton ker speaking and reminding you to do as the dohms do let doz the new kind of soap do everything in your wash
