Two Submit Bids
For New School
Contract Will Be Let Next Week
For Structure At North Glade

Two bids have been received for
the construction of new school
building at North Glade, and the con
tract is expected to be let next week,
it was announced by Franklin E.
Rathbun, superintendent of schools.
The John |. Nandergrift Company,
of Cumberland, made bid of 500
800 with six alternate bids and the
Fairchance Lumber Company, of Fair
chance, Pa, presented bid Of 500
$50 with eight alternate bids. In
November, 1941, the latter contract
ing firm submitted bid of $18,500
but the increase in the cost of ma
terials brought about by the war and
the fact that changes had to be made
to meet with the regulations of the
War Production Board is said to have
resulted in a boost Of $4,000 over the
original proposal.
The state legislature has approved
an expenditure of $4,000 for the
erection of new two-room brick
structure.
Rathbun stated that the bids are
exclusive of architects fees for pre-
pairing the plans and specifications
and supervising the construction work.

Predicts Soybean
Use AS Substitute
For All Kinds Meat
Housewives Urged to Try
Pr0duct-SmOuse's Have
Display

Anticipating reduced civilian sup
plies of such important animal pro-
tein foods as meats, dairy products
and eggs next year the War Food
Administration is taking steps for
expansion in the production of sub
stitute foods processcd from vegetable
products
Soybeans and peanuts will be the
raw material base for the substitute.
A window display Of the soybeans
has been arranged at Frank A.
Smouses store labeled as "the food
of the future" and it cites the rich
ness in vitamin "C', the reasonable
ness of the cost, and the fact that the
food is not rationed.
Governor Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York served the soy beans to 81
guests at the executive mansion rec
emily and full-page article about
sprouted soybeans appeared in The
American Weekly of August /, as a
result.
The soybean will grow in any eli
mate, rivals meat in nutritive value
and rivals tomatoes in vitamin C. Ger
mans have relied upon the use of soya
to solve their critical shortage Of
meats, and Chinese have used soy
beans as a staple food for more than
so centuries.
The United States now raises more
soybeans than China or any other
country but the American people are
the least familiar with its food posi-
bilities.
Soybean sprouts can be grown at
home Start with half a pound. Soak
overnight in water with pinch of
chlorinated lime in it. Next morning
put them in strainer or any vessel
that will drain freely Keep moist and
covered with damp cloth, dousing
them each night with solution of one
third teaspoon lime to gallon of water

there will be huge mess of sprouts,
two or three inches long. Then they
are ready for cooking or preparing in
salad to eat raw. Handle like fresh
meat as they are perishable in sprout
form, Sprouts are cooked usually 10
to 20 minutes to remove raw bean
flavor and are served with bean at
tached. A penny's worth will serve
four people, it is said. On sale two
pounds for 16 cents the Soybcan is
declared to be a happy solution to
scarcity in other foods, caused by the
war.

that Kessel carried into battle,

Anyway, further news of Cor

Corporal Kessel, turned up in
Rita Weinberg's mail box the

On another occasion, Captain
COhen's battalion was trapped by
the enemy. But Captain COheI
would take no cOgnizance of the
word surrounded" All that in
terested him were those supplies
To get them, he would have to
drive far into enemy areas
Somehow he managed to reach a
U. S. medical supply dump
which was not in enemy hands.
Once again, he returned with his
equipment and went to work
treating the wounded.
The army has presented Cap
tain Cohen with Silver Star for
his courage, fearlessness and de-
votion," which, the citations note,
were "meritorious and a credit to
the armed forces"
Captain Moses Cohen is a
graduate Of City College in New
York and of the University of vi
emma. Before the war he had a
private practice in New York
City. His wife and five year old
son, Edward, live in Mt. Vernon,
n. Y. His brother, Joseph, is a
sergeant in the Signal Corps,
training at a Missouri camp.
Major Ephriam Cohen has come
to be known as the fighting sur
geon' from Minneapolis. He was
crew member in one of twelve
Flying Fortresses which destroy
ed two large enemy transports at
uen-Tonolei, near Kahili airport
in the Solomons. The bombing
run had already been completed
when Jap zeros attacked the for
nation. Major Cohen took an ac-
tive part in the battle that fol-
lowed, and helped shoot down
several zeros while he was about
it, earning the Air Medal for his
efficiency as an impromptu COM
bat flier. The Major has also
been cited by his commanding
officer for his work as a doctor
in the Solomons.
"As a result of your efforts"
the citation said, "the health of
this command has been better
than could be expected in the
tropics. Your energy and deter
mination are highly appreciated"
Major Cohen joined up in Aug
ust, 1899. He was a flight sur
geon at Hickam Field f o r
a while before things began pop
ping in the Solomons. He would
like to see his % months ole

daughter, Barbara Sue, and his
wife, who is living with her par
ents in Winnipeg.
Thirty-three year old Sergeant
Julius Cohen fought with the
infantry at Coral Sea and New
Caledonia, and was with the
ground forces at Bismark Sea.
Then he was shipped to Guadai-
canal. On the way his ship, a
troOpship, got into a fracas with
seven torpedo planes. Only one
of those enemy planes got away.
The others were shot down and
were last seen disappearing below
the surface of the South Pacific,
according to julius.
Once on Guadalcanal, Sergeant
Cohen went through five weeks
of incessant bombing.
"The bombing was still going
on when l left" he says.
The sergeant left because. a
tropical disease he had caught on
the island was menacing his
sight. He was shipped to Percy
Jones Hospital in Michigan for
treatment that averted blindness.
He has fully recovered now, and
hopes to see more action when
his sick leave ends.
If you want the opinion of this
warning member of the priestIy
tribe of Cohen, Sgt. Cohen pre-
diets that the Japs will die fight
ing rather than give up. He
thinks they are near the end of
their rope, though, and that the
day of vengeance for their treach-
cry at Pearl HarbOr is not far off.
In case you doubt it, just look
in the nearest city directory under
Cohen. There is your answer:
the enemy is outnumbered-by an
army of battling Cohens who are
out to make sure the United
Nations win.
RITA GETS AROUND: Re-
member Corporal Bernard Kessel,
the New York gunner who per-
sOnalIy invaded Oran in an army
tank? Sure you do. This col
umn only recently published his
latest letter from North Africa,
written to his family. That was
the letter in which he told how he
had forfeited a promotion in order
to stay where the real fighting
was. And you can't have forgot
ten his fiance, Rita Weinberg, of
the Bronx, whose picture was
tackled to the wall of the tank
