Bill Pearson, local Farmers In-

claim files and national safety
organization statistics show that
"driver" errors are responsible in
all but approximately 10 per cent
of motoring ccidents.
Mr. Pearson also states that
lack of driving courtesy by oper-
ators is one of the biggest ob-
stacles in the path of lowering
America's automobile accident
rate and urges Mason County driv,

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."

WALTER R. 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.
