Up to May 15,-we had lost 2,771 soldiers, 1,010 Marines and 900 sailors in the Qkinawa operation. In addition, 11,- 675-soldiers, 5,329 Marines and 2,746 sail- oragyere wounded. Among the missing are 129 soldiers, 36 Marine§ and 1.075 sailors. Grr total casualties run to 36,671. The efemy, according to a Fleet communique, lost 46,505 killed in action and 1,038 pris- orers. This total of more than 47,000 com- es with our total of a little less than ,000 killed and missing. - The figures given indicate the bitter resistance faced by our fighting men on Okinawa and emphasize that naval: sup- port of land operations is a “costly and se- rious business.” This is plain when we con- sider that naval casualties amount to 4,721, which telis us,’ without official confirma- tipn, that a considerable number of our ships have been damaged by the desperate measures adopted by the enemy. ‘ ADMIRAL LAND-FED UP © © ‘ Vice-Admira] Emory S. Land, chair- | man of the U. S. Maritime Commission, says he is “fed up with the eternal alibi” that a shortage of ships is responsible for the dif- ficulties that confront us in the prosecution of the war. {“It is not a shortage of ships,” he de- clares, so much as it is temporary shortages | of cargo at pier-heads, delayed turn- arounds, shortage of ports, shortage of in- ldnd transportation, too extensive use of sBips as floating storehouses, congestion of ports, shipping priorities and a number o kindredf ments, , The ob: ation is timel, y because many SsiQ. ng those a o transport goods, p tha’ «& ik of ships in w m other natidns. e Ob é jousty, the Admiral does not claim h t the delays complained of ean. be alto- wether avoited.

Of what good is money? Key West phousewives have asked that question many a time since this country »was put on a ra- tioning basi$)and always have answered it the same w: no good, unless you have the points to go with it. All of which brings to the forefront the reminder of Jee Pearlman, chairman of the Monroe County Salvage Committee: save your waste fats and take them to your grocer or meat marketman and get red points for them. Those points will come in thandy in obtaining foodstuffs that are not available unless you have the points. Human nature, as has been remarked |many a time, is the same everywhere, and }that is the reason why that many millions | of pounds of waste fats in this country go into the garbage can instead of being placed in the channel that leads to the} | use of the fats for a hundred and one things, | | including munitions, by our government. On | {that point, Alexander Williams, informa- tion director of the American Fat Salvage Committee, Inc., has written the following | to The Citizen: We have been snooping around in garbage ! gans with assistance of building superin- tendents, janitors and officials of the Depart- ; ment of.Sanitation, and find that a gr of used kitchen fat is going to waste. Very fre- quently there are partially filled cans of used fat in apartment house and private home ref- use which indicates that women have s' to save fat but tired of the task azd away instead of rushing it to their meat dealer. | Housewives rently get discouraged if | used cooking fat gets a little “high = cumulates too slowly. Used fat can help make synthetic rubber, fabrics, paints, and help m thousands of other war and home-front needs, but it cannot be put to work until it is turned over to a meat dealer, who is the start of the production line. Meat deale and paying out used fat, have don So have the Am }) anditurned in ev possible ounce of cooking grease, so it may be available to fat-hungry Ambritan industries. We would greatly appreciate it if you and your Women’s Page Editor would call the at- tention of the ladies-in your community. to the fact that even though many thousands of pounds of used kitchen grease are saved, if they are never turned. in only half of a good job has been done. | | s, acting as colle¢tion stations and red ration points for a magnificent wartime job. e saved Not necessary knowledge: Benjamin Franklin coined the word “harmonica.” The schools of the nation are rapidly closing for the summer vacation, thus giv- ing commencement orators an opportunity | to settle affairs. i It is said that when Mohammed formv- | lated his new religion, he was at a loss to | know how to summon his followers praper in the mosques.
