So many women write to our
magazine and ask if they
•hould keep turning in their
used cooking fats. Most cer
tainly yes! There is still a
Shortage—not only in the
United States but all over the
world. Here is what Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson says: “It is still
necessary to conserve every
pound of used fat, since the
over-all fat supply situation
is little better now than it was
last year.” That’s why we
American women must keep
on saving used fats until the
world-wide shortage is over!

Poles Don't See Why America
Thinks Germans Should Be Fed
By George Weller
foreign Cgrrespondent of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News
WARSAW, Aug. 11.—The Poles
have a one-word response to the
American slogan “Germany must
be saved from chaos.’’
"Why?”
Poles are warmhearted, busy peo
ple who are making perhaps the
most energetic effort to recover in
Europe, next to Italy. But, when
you staft talking to a Pole about
hunger in the Ruhr, or tuberculosis
in Berlin, you suddenly get the
feeling that you have lost your
audience.
The Pole doesn’t get worked up
like the Czech or the Frenchman,
seeing a rival industrial plant being
built up with dollars. But a pecu
liar, vague expression comes over
his face. -
He Just Doesn’t Care.
You finally grasp that this blank
expression simply means he does not
care. If the entire German nation
were to slip into the bowels of the
earth, the Pole, would be calmly and
heartily glad.
For some time, American spokes
men in Central Europe for such
organisations as the State Depart
ment’s Information Service, thought
that explaining what it was costing
America to feed Germany—more
than (2,000,000 a day—would influ
ence the governmentally-steered
press of the two Slav powers, Poland
and Czechoslovakia, to understand
why Germany must become self
supporting. •
But this effort backfired. News
papers featured the outlay not as a
measure of the depth of American
humanitarianism, but as a gauge oi
what suckers the Americans can be
The Marshall proposal, the Slavs
are now being told, is a sinister
American effort to rebuild Germany
as a creature of American capital
ism and bulwark against the Soviet
Union.
Communists Stoers Theme.
Only by steadfast pleading did
the Americans succeed in getting
one Warsaw paper to publish tardily
Gen. Lucius D. Clay's statement
that Germany’s warmaking capacity
would remain curbed.
Communist effort here to portray
America as Germany’s big brother
falls on receptive ears, even among
non-Communists. For all their in
dividual Icindheartedness, the Poles
refuse to be stirred by tales of
German woe. “The Germans are
great weepers and wallers,” they say.
“While we lost one-third of our
population, they are coming out
with their enemies paying their
food bills. What kind of a war is
that?”
One anti-Communist Polish wom
an said: “Germany did more dam
age and lost fewer men in propor
tion than any other power in
Central Europe. Why are you Amer
icans so eager to bail them out
now? I don’t believe in Communism
but Communists have a good argu
ment there.”
Some American spokesmen have;
tentatively claimed that America is1
paying so much for Germany's food!
partly because Poland gained such
rich farmland in Eastern Germany
to balance the lands and oil wells
Russia gained from Poland but the
Poles do not admit that Germany’s
industrial masses are wards of any
body but German fanners.
Another Polish ygument is that
the United States is shipping so
much food to Germany because the
Truman administration wishes to
keep farm prices up regardless of
the American consumers’ food costs, i
until the next election.
In Poland it is the first job of
the Polish farmer to feed the in
dustrial workers, who comprise only
about one-third of the population.!
Prom the Polish view, it makes no:
sense for the Americans to want
to feed the Germans more than
German fanners do.
And if there are not enough
German farmers to go around, that
Is just too bad, the Poles sav. To
the Pole, every German is and re
mains Nazi.
---1—
The Polish attitude is: if they
cannot get butter let them eat some
of their old cannon. And we hope
they choke.
North Bethesda Pool
Expected in 1948
The North Bethesda Recreation
Center (Ayrlawn Farms) probably
will be chosen as one of six sites for
outdoor swimming pools to be built
by the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission dur
ing 1948, Park Commissioner E.
Brooke Lee has told Mrs. David
H. Stowe, chairman of the Citizens’
Committee for the center.
Mr. Lee said it was his feeling that
such swimming pools should be
built as outdoor ,pools for warm
weather only. The comparative low
construction cost was cited as the
main reason.
“The need of the people In this
climate seems to be for swimming as
a sport for relief from hot weather
during the summer months,” he
added.
The Citizens’ Committee had sug
gested changes in the location of a
number of tennis courts. Since no
tennis courts are scheduled for con
struction until 1948, the commission
will have ample time to study the
committee's suggestions, Mr. Lee
said.
He assured the committee that the
assembly hall would have adequate
seating capacity, heating and struc
tural support.
The suggestion of a gymnasium
for multiple use brought this com
ment:
“There are no current public funds
available for such construction and
in my opinion there Is very little
possibility that such funds will be
come available for some years to
come.” _

New Zealand to Use

“There are only four of these
super draglines in the world—I got
three and Stalin got the other.” said
