Housewives Hold
SOya-Bread Baking
Meetings In City

The mouth watering aroma of
fresh, homemade Soya bread filled
the auditoriums at the Tide Wa
ter home service kitchen and at
Greenfield Community house this
week at the Free Health for Vic
tory clubs where the ladies turn
ed their attention to the two
groups of food that are the chief
sources of the energy needed for
wartime jobs. The basic food
groups six and seven.
AS she lifted golden-brown
loaves from an oven, Mrs. Cordel-
ia B. Foster, home economist Of
the Tide Water Power company,
demonstrated that grandma was
not the only one who could turn
out delicious home-baked bread.
"All of us can learn to make
bread, not just as good but bet
ter than our mothers and grand
mothers made" Mrs. Foster said.
in the first place, flour today
is more uniform in quality than
in years past and we have that
new Soya Wonder Flour that
grandma never even heard about
in her day; our ovens are better
than the old-fashioned ones, and
our yeast is ready-prepared."
During the meeting the home
economist demonstrated, step by
step, how to bake bread; how
to use cereals to make a little
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1943-09-05

meat go long way; and how to
use cereals as part of the main
dish and as a dessert to add va
riety to the meat and vegetable
portion of a meal, without lavish
use of butter.
Bread, flour and cereals are
called our staff of life,' and for
very good reasons. They pay us
dividends in health. Besides en-
ergy, they give us iron for good
blood, and some B vitamin so ex-
cellent for steady nerves. Then,
too, cereals in general serve as
protein-extenders. Cereal can con-
tribute as high as one-third of the
protein needed by an adult-the
remainder coming from milk, le-
gumes, meats, eggs. An import
ant thing to remember about ce-
reals is that they cost us no ra-
ton points.
Discussing different types of
breads, the home economist said
that bread made from Soya flour
is especially healthful. One re-
markable feature of the Soya bean
is its richness in protein for build
ing and maintaining body tissues.
In fact, it is richer in protein than
many of the cereals and all of the
legumes. A py bean contains vita
minis and minerals, too, particu-
larly thiamin, riboflavin and iron.
Mrs. Foster announced at the
above meetings, that complete
demonstration on the many uses
of the soya bean itself will be dem
onstrated at an early date. No
tees will be made through the pa
per. 1t is interesting to know
that this little bean will grow in
any climate, rivals meat in nutri-
tive value, natures in three to five
days, may be planted any day
of the year, rivals tomatoes in Vi
tamin C, has no waste in prepare
ton can be cooked with as little
fuel and as quickly as chop. Ii
really is the food for the future.
All interested homemakers are
cordially invited to attend this
demonstration.

LONDON - U.P) - That por-
ton of the American Army
which frequents Piccadilly gave
the nod today to the CTS sweat

and it looked like vote
against the idea of first in,
first out of the Army.
Expressed simply, the opinion
was that 1.-The combat soldier

Otherwise, so far as postwar
rehabilitation went, the sol
diers appeared to have as many
ideas as there were soldiers.
In Green Park, hard by Picca-
dilly traffic, sitting on bench
was Pvt FRANKIE Beane, 26, sim
gle of Washington, D. c.
In civilian life he was a bus
driver. He told the United Press
that his old job was waiting for
him.
Out my way" he added, "the
guys do so much thinking about
toWn-leave and weekend passes
they don't think much about get
ting out Of the Army.
Just yesterday l was talking
about planning for the future.
It's the trouble with most boys
they don't do any planning
When it comes TO postwar plan
ming they ought to think of the
guys with jobs. What good,
ask you, is a guy out of the army
when he's out of a job? / ask
you.

His sidekick, Hollis Fleming

1000 Big Bombers
Turned Out by Ford
PIons Laid for
Peoce Production
BY ANTHONY G. DeLORENZO

United Press STAFF Correspondent
DETROIT - (U,P) - III cnry
Ford's conviction that bombers,
like automobiles, can be built in
quantity on a progressive as
sembly line is proving itself
daily at Willow Run, a key plant
in Americas war effort.
The giant arsenal is doing so
we'll that the War Department
has permitted the Ford company
TO make its first official an
nouncement of production fig
ures.
The company disclosed that
more than 1000 four-engined
B-24 bombers have been flown
away from Willow Run during
the last year More over, il said
that substantial numbers" of
complete B-24 sub-assemblies
had been shipped from the $780,
100000 plant during the same
period for final assembly else
where.
The plant, ground for which
was broken in April, l94l, has
hit its stride after overcoming
difficult engineering and man.
power problems which threat
ened for a time TO disrupt the
project In fact, many critics in
sisted there were too many OBJ
stacles and the plant was
doomed TO failure.
However, Ford frequently re-
iterated that "all it takes is a
little time Willow Runs cur
dent production rate proves his
diagnosis was correct.
Assembly-line production of
bombers by Ford was hampered
at first by frequent design
changes, an enormous turnover
among trained personnel and an
abnormal rate of absenteeism,
especially during the severe
cold wave last winter.
Although design changes die
tated by battlefront strategy are
unavoidable, the m p w r
problems have been alleviated
by the War Manpower Commits
sion's disqualification plan, pro-
vision Of additional housing for
Willow Run workers, and by
transferring some of the manu-
featuring operations TO Ford S
River Rouge, Highland Park and
Lincoln plants.
The decentralization program
feeding Of bomber parts into
/ Willow Run from other Ford
plants has been a major con.
tribution to success Of the prof
eCt.
Ford already has announced
plans to utilize his knowledge OF
big plane production. He said he
will build giant, multiple-engine
