New Soya Food A Protein Satellite

Wheeler McMillen, vice president. of Farm Journal, Inc., and board chairman of the chemurgic council, called Central Soya’s new commercial isolated soya food protein (Promine) a ‘‘protein satellite launched to help overcome world protein hunger and defeat tyranny,'* He predicted that, "no metallic satellite in outer space will be able to match, in terms of human happines and well-being for humankind, the contribution of this, the protein satellite'* McMillen addressed a LaSalle Hotel dinner meeting, which high- * lighted a day-long dedication Tuesday and open house program that forihally opened a new Promine plant at the Central Soya chemurgy .'division’s 1825 N. Laramie street location in Chicago. He Mid the new plant “marks a conspicuous milepost on the everimprdtjng road toward man’s mas-ter?-of environment." "...it may be—and very likely is—an historic turning point," McMillen added. Can Reduce Hunger i He observed that, “tyranny and hunger have been long-time com- • panions in* history." "If we can reduce hunger," he said, “is it not logical that tyranny may be reduced and freedom expanded?" McMillen said that almost withj out exception, underdeveloped « countries are underfed countries. "Those whq cannot work much ; will never produce much. .. and thus the arfas of poverty and hunger tend to perpetuate themI selves.” He compared this situation with the United States where people are "well fed and energetic... we spend about 23 percent of our income for food—the best food in the world—leaving 77 percent of our income for goods, services, and savings." ’"Hie soybean has contributed greatly to this. .. the highest standard of living in the world ... through better farming, better feeds and better foods." "Just as poverty and hunger tend to perpetuate themselves, prosperity and good nutrition tend to perpetuate themselves,” McMillen said. Billion Dollar Income He cited the soybean as an example of man's ability to create new wealth. Starting with a few hundred bushels from China, the bean... planted by “free farmers in our American Midwest and South.. . has become a billion dollar factor tn agricultural income." McMillen pointed out that, “as a crop new to the American soil, the soybean has profitably occupied acres... now more than 20 million a year... that otherwise would have been devoted to crops... in surplus." He declared that producing crops “for use rather than for storage is American agriculture’s true purpose and desire.” He praised industrial adventurers like Central Soya, who “invested their funds and futures in machinery and equipment, in work forces and sales forces." "Without them.;. the soybean could have been anincidental paragraph rather than a major chapter in our agricultural and industrial history.” McMillen credited these men, together with the producer, the industrial processor and the chemurgist of soybeans with having "established a new historic status in

I' St Ib® ON A TOOT —Brian Hicks takes the stance for a big blow at ths royal military school of music in Twickenham, England, where he won the championship in the Aloine horn blowing contest the national economy.” Formerly a deficit nation in vegetable oils and feed proteins, “the country. . . by virtue of their accomplishments .. . has been abundantly supplied with vegetable oils and has narrowed the feed protein deficit.” "This,” he added, "has made possible significant gains in both animal and human nutrition.” Tremendous Significance He called attention to the “tremendous significance” which the availability of a vegetable source, such as edible soya protein, mikht develop for the undernourished people of nations that cannot afford to devote ample acreage to producing protein through livestock and poultry. "Here we have a high protein concentrated product that can be easily transported ... and can well reach acres of protein need which thus far are inadequately supplied with common protein foodstuffs." He called Promine a happy assurance against the fear of any eventual protein shortage here in America as a result of our expanding population. McMillen praised Central Soya for “crashnig the protein barrier,” and said that they are not only helping to build an expanding market for soybean growers, but with profits from the new product, "will finance more research to probe further into the barriers of ignorance and to emerge eventually with more new knowledge of the materials of nature and the laws that govern them.” Over 2.500 Dally Democrats an sold and delivered in iJecatur each day.

Unordered Merchandise Suppose the mailman delivers to you a package containing a necktie, a hook, key-ring tags or a phonograph record that you didn't order. /long with it, or by later mad, is a bill or request to remit the price. Do you know your obligations assuming you don't want the merchandise? Must you return it? Can you use it and not pay for it? Must you keep it, or can you throw it away? Generally speaking, recipients of unordered merchandise are under no obligation (a> to return it: (b) to acknowledge its receipt: to pay for it unless used; <d» to give it particular care: or <e) to keep it beyend a reasonable time. You are obligated to surrender the merchandise if called for in ' person by the shipper or his agent ’ within a reasonable time. But you ■ can lemar.d storage charges be- ’ fore surrendering the item. If you mail it back at your own expense, ' you very likely will stay on the sender’s mailing list and will receive other shipments in the future. There arc no postal regulations governing unordered merchandise, except where fraud is involved. Congress is working on legislaI tion that will cover the situation, j However, if you know what is in the envelope or package, you can , write "Refused” across the face . of the niece of mail and hand it , back unopened to the mailman. . No further explanation is required. I You don't have to accept any class f of mail. Further, your refusal . probably will result in the sender i having to pay return postage. A ruling by the federal trade commission holds it a violation of ■ the federal trade act for a sender of unordered merchandise to claim that “The receiver is under obligation ... to pay for or return the merchandise.” Hence, if you don't use the merchandise, you are within your rights in refusing to pay for it. If another person’s mail is imprope) ly delivered to you. do not open it as such action might make you liable to severe legal penalties. Such mail should promptly be redeposited in a postal box with an appropriate notation thereon, such as the proper address or “not 14 South Brown Street,” showing the address to which the mail had been delivered. t YES.

ble in considering unusual some-thing-for-little-or-nothing offers and get-rich-quick schemes received through the mails or advertised in newspapers or magazines. Also, patrons should submit promptly a detailed written statement to their local postmaster concerning any fraudulent materials received through the mails, accompanying such statements with copies of correspondence, advertising, or other literature, as well as envelopes in which such items were transmitted through the mails. Mail fraud laws are designed to protect the public and at the same time not endanger legitimate mailorder operators. 2. DOES THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT HAVE FILMS AVAILABLE FOR SHOWING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC? YES. One of the Department's newest motion pictures is a 13-14-minute black- and white sound film on the Washington, D.C., post office, where 12 million dollars worth of mail handling equipment was recently installed. This film, called “The World’s Most Mechanized Post Office,” provides a preview of the post office of tomorrow. Another interesting film is a IG-milli-meter sound color picture titled "The Story Os The U.S. Mail.” Both of these films may be obtained at no charge through your local postmaster.

Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

(Editor’s Note) Do you have any questions about Social Security? We all do, don't we? Send any qiftstion you might have to Social Security Quiz, c/o Daily Democrat. You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published regularly.) 1. Q—l’m a renter and pay my landlord a percent of the crops I produce. Do I list the total crops as my gross income? A—No. You should list only the value of the crop after you have deducted the landlord’s share. 2. Q—l am working as a babysitter for several people in their homes. None have held social security taxes out of my wages. I wonder if I could pay the social security taxes on my earnings so I could build credit to my account? A—Only your employers can pay this tax since baby-sitting is considered domestic work and covered under the same rules that • apply to them. If one or more of 1 your employers pay you as much I as SSO in any one quarter they i must report and pay the social , security taxes on these wages, i Wages, for domestic work, of less than SSO in a calendar quarter is ' not covered by social security. I 3. Q —l'm 68 years old and I’ve : Wen farming all my life but have f not been making any profits since • social security came in for us ■ farmers. Is there any way I can get benefits? A—Yes, you may possibly 1 qualify for benefits by reporting your income under the “optional method.” So long as a farmer had gross income of at least SBOO in 1955, or at least S6OO in later years, I he is entitled to report for social i security purposes and receive cred-

it just like he had made a profit. For 1955, he may report % of his gross; for years after 1955, he may report % of his gross income. 4. Q—When I inquired at your office two years ago about getting disability payments, I was told I could not qualify because I hadn’t worked under social security for four years prior to becoming disabled. However, I did have a total of 7 years employment under social security. I’ve read that many changes have been made in the law. Can I get payments now? A—Due to the changes made last fall, it Is no longer necessary to have credit for a year and onehalf of the last 3 years before you became totally disabled. You must, however, have at least 5 years work under social security out of the ten years before you became totally disabled. 5. Q—l had a social security card back in 1937 and carried it until 1940. I got my card in the state of New York and lost it. Do I have to write back to New York in order to get another card? A—No. Visit your nearest social security office and complete another application for a social security card. After the records are checked, you will be issued a new card bearing your original social security number. The social security number originally issued to you is your individual number and should be used by you in all matters relating to social security. 6. I worked 10 years and was told that lam fully insured under social security. I haven’t worked since 1950 and do not expect to return to work. Will this effect my social security payment when I retire? A—Yes, it will. Since you have worked at least 10 years in

employment covered by social security, you are guaranteed a benefit at 65. However, the amount of your benefit will be affected by the years in which you did no work because an average of your earnings is used to figure your benefit. The law allows us to drop 5 years of “no earnings” but the rest of the years must be aver- ■ aged. Since you will have more than 5 years in which you had no ; earnings, these years will lower your average and will result in a : lower benefit to you. I Community Birthday SOUTHBURY, Conn.

The average stay in the hospital for a woman who’s gone there to have a baby is 4.5 days, compared with 8.5 days for one who’s been hospitalized for reasons other than maternity. Almost one-third of all American homes have ice cream on hand on an average day and about onehalf of them serve ice cream as a dessert at least once a week, according to the Minnesota Dairy Industry Committee. When the German submarine U-505 was boarded northeast of the Cape Verde Islands on June 4, 1944, it was the first time since 1815 that the U. S. Navy had taken an enemy warship on the high seas.
