NATS Celebrating Birthday This Week; Six Years Old . Rear Admiral ft. W. Reeves, Jr., the Naval Air Transport Service. announced at headquarters that the Naval Air Transport Service which he has commanded since March 1945, observed its sixth birthday Friday, December 12. NATS was created by order of the then Secretary of the Navy Frank nox five days after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and operates today in world-wide support of the Navy in accord- ance with terms of the recent uni- fication act (Public Law 253). The birthday occasion will be highlighted at NATS' larger U. S. bases (in the Bay Area, at .lV_Iof- fett Field, N.A.S., Alameda and N.A.S., Oakland) by declaration of "open house" to which all men and women who have ever served in NATS have been invited. AIM OF THE "open house," in addition to providing an opportun- ity for get-together of wartim6 members of the Navy's far-flung air transport system, will be to acquaint as many "old hands" as possible with NATS' present day, status and operations. With more than 26,000 officers and men assigned to it as of VJ Day, NATS has, through demobil- ization, dwindled to a personnel count of some 6.300, "a minimum below which," says Admiral Reeves, "we cannot go and still maintain the nucleus of highly trained personnel from wllch we can effectively and rapidly expand in event of emergency." During its brief span of life, NATS has flown 2,297,302 pass- engers (present rate, 29,000 a month), and more than 496,500,- 000 ton-miles of cargo and mail. In the transportation by air of sick, wounded, or injured Navy personnel, a humanitarian opera- tion still carried on by NATS, the record shows more than 85,- 000 "patients" carried to date. FIRST of these "evacuation flights" was the historic one which saw a NATS hospital plane successfully dodge intense Jap mortar fire on Okinawa six days after L-Day there, to speed 32 critically wounded Marines to the safety and better facilities of a hospital on Guam. More recently, NATS transport- ed 100 litter patients on one flight of a giant MARTIN MARS fly- ing boat from Honolulu to the Bay Area. That "safety-first" governs in NATS is attested to by the pass- enger miles in 4-engined aircraft (DC-4 and MARS JaM-l) which NATS has logged without a pass- enger fatality . . . more than one billion, eight hundred and sixty million, the equivalent of nearly 75,000 trips around the world. Relayed yesterday by Admiral Reeves to all units of his command throughout the 43,000 route-mile network over which NATS is to- day providing the Navy's air-lift,' was a birthday message received from Mr. John Nicholas Brown Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air, who wrote: "December 12, 1947, will mark an anhiversary in accomplishment, the. sixth birthday of the Naval Air Transport Service. It is my pleasure on this occasion to com- mend you and your command for providing consistently reliable, safe, and efficient service to the Naval establishment. A vital ele- ment of the U.S. Fleet, NATS is the Navy's aerial lifeline."

EDDY Population Up, Fat Salvage Is Vital for World A world population increase of 200 million people, equal to the number of persons in all of North America, has been added since the first world war, reports D. A. Fitzgerald, secretary-general of the International Emergency Food Council. This many more people to be fed makes the world-wide shortage of fats and oils even more acute. Dr. Fltzgeraldalso lists heavy war damage and slow reconstruction as among the chief reasons for the current world shortage of near 8 billion pounds of fats and oils. Due to these causes, world pro- duction of fats and oils is 12 per cent less than pre-war production. Because of the tremendous dam- age wrought by the last war, re- construction has been relatively slow and many nations will lack equipment and materials to reor- ganize and produce fats and oils as they did before the war. The imperative need to save ev- ery drop of used kitchen fats can- not be over-emphasized in view of these world conditions. Used kit- chen grease can take the place of critically needed food fats. Used kitchen fats are processed for in- dustrial use and augment overall world supplies of fats and oils. Every "American wotTtan cat] make an mportant contribution to the world supply of fats and oils if she regards salvaging of used fats as an indispensable part of regular cooking routine. Dr. Fitzgerald sums up the job that salvaged used kitchen fats can do. "There are many more mouths to feed and a tremendous job of reconstruction and relaabilt- tation to be done.
