Illinois 4-H club members have offi- 

 cially opened a new state-wide campaign 

 to raise sufficient funds to build a state 

 camp, which will be a meniorial to Illi- 

 nois 4-H members who have lost their 

 lives in the present war. 



Details for the camp are not yet com- 

 pleted, although it will be located some- 

 where in Illinois. In view of the rapidly 

 increasing camp program, such facilities 

 are needed. 



Many clubs already have sizeable funds 

 on hand which they expect to turn in at 

 once. Other clubs will be getting under 

 way shortly to earn money for this proj- 

 ect. Such funds will be sent to their 

 farm or home adviser. 



The committee directing this project 

 consists of Mrs. Esther K. Thor, Cham- 

 paign county home adviser; W. F. 

 Gjolidge, Livingston county farm ad- 

 viser; and F. H. Mynard and Miss Mary 

 McKee, U. of I. College of Agriculture.

Fat salvage authorities are now look- 

 ing to farm and small-town families 

 to increase the quantities of waste 

 household fats for salvage. This is 

 necessary because quantities of collected 

 fats are declining in urban areas due to 

 smaller supplies of meats and edible 

 fats available in those districts. 



Furthermore, the available meats are 

 less and less fat these days; but the 

 war needs for fats are growing greater 

 and greater.
