You Get Your Choice

From these pretty excursions
into times past we may conclude
with Hegel) that We learn moth
ing from history except that we
learn nothing from history. or
we may agree with the cynical
FrenChman that the more things
change the more they remain
theiame. You pays your money
and YOU takes your choice.
Doubtless there are important
things 10 be learned by looking
backward. and the issues seem
clearer in a perspective Of his
tory. The outlines of great
events are not always dimned
by time. sometimes they are
made sharper.
Once the smaller COMMISSIONS
disappear in the calendar the
more important details can he
sorted out. and when they are
put on the stage they under
score the present with special
emphasis.

making the Most of Meat is
the subject-for the December meet
ings, it was announced by Miss
Coz della Foster; home service di-
rector of the power company.
These meetings will have five OBJ
jectlves, the first will be to ex-
plain meat ratioring and what the
home maker can do to solve meat
problems. The second will be to
stress the importance of protein in
our diets, and the need for using
meat alternates to give us our re-
CURED amounts.
Another objective will be to ex-
plain the values of soyheans and
soya flour as meat alternates and
to demonstrate the m any ways
they can be used in everyday
foods.
The meetings are also designed
to show how other Basic" foods
can be used as meat alternates
IN easy-to-prepared dishes, and to
enlist the support of the audience
IN the Food Fights for Freedom
movement.
Considerable attention will be TO-
cused on the soybean as a sup
riler OF protein required in the
daily diet. For more than 5000
Years soybeans have been China S
raaln-stay food, and for centuries
IN the Far East they have been
Known as the poor mans meat.
Soy sprouts can be grown almost
anywhere, in any climate, at any
time of the year, in from three to
tive days. You can grow soybeans
In your kitchen, on fire escape.
On a back porch or even in
travelling bag. And the wonderful
thing is that, next to milk, soy.
beans are the most complete nat
ual foodstuff known.
One pound of whole soya flour
contains as much protein as 81
eggs, six quarts of milk or two
pounds of high quality homeless
meat.
