FAT FOR BRITAIN
Sir, —Mr Attlee is asking for any produce. especially fats of all kinds. Is it not time that something was done to save and send all the fat which is thrown away in New Zealand? Years ago we got a good price for our fat, which' went to make soap and candles and for export. Since the war began, the fat and skin buyers will hardly take it away, and give so little it does not pay for containers. An American, after a visit to New Zealand, wrote to a “Digest” two or more years ago saying that if all the fat wasted in New Zealand was saved and sent it would have obviated the cut in English fat rations. We country people know this to be the case. Why is this shocking waste allowed to continue?—Yours, etc., SAVE FOR BRITAIN. August 21, 1947.
