Need for continued hi^h production of soybeans is even greater this year than in 1944, according to the War Food Administration. The smaller quantity of lard available will call for still wider use of soybean oil in shortening, as well as for cooking and salad oil and in margarine. In addition. Western Eu rope faces a critical fats and oils situa tion and will need American soybean oil. WFA points out that whatever the ’ trend of tlie war, fats arid oils will be in short supply this year and in 1946. Even if the 1945 soybean goal of 10,757,000 acres for harvest as beans were passed, says WFA, it would not produce a sur plus. Minimum requirements are for 190 million bushels of soybeans, and with an average yield of 17.8 bushels per acre, the goal would produce only slightly more tlian that. Although there are many industrial uses for soybean oil, its non-food u.se is at present prohibited except for direct military orders, due to the greater need for its nutritional values. The meal left after processing for oil is used largely for livestock feed, although it also goes into high-protein flour for human con sumption, adhesives, vegetable glue and water paint. Protein from the meal appears in certain plastics. Assistance from the Agricultural Ad justment Agency is available to growers in most soybean states for contouring and terracing to protect their soil from erosion, where the beans are grown on knd, and to help increase A price rnppoit'progiw en soybeena Boremnent. xLOOXrNG ASEAD :iY GEORGE S. BENSON PresUeMt—Marding ColUg Searcy. Jrkausai Paying Parliament How would you like to be elected to the board of governors of the finest country club you ever saw? Unless you are an exceptional per son, you can't afford such a job. It uses a lot of time and there’s no salary connected with it. Helping to boss a lovely palace in the middle of a big playground is fun (I imagine) but it’s an expensive pas time. People who habit such spots to en joy their spare time are in the finan cial upper brackets. If they work at all, they do things they enjoy do ing, or perhaps they do a few jobs nobody else can do as well. Such wealthy people are usually compe tent but they engage others to handle their routine work. This leisurely class is growing steadily smaller, but it still exists. Work Well Done A rich country club is proverbial ly well managed. It does not need to economize and cut corners, but that’s only part of the story. It is governed by men of singular ability with spare time, who like their club and take personal interest in it. They have no better minds than men who hustle for business and use their wives for stenographers, but excellence thrives on calm deliber ation. By the way, Mrs. Harry S. Tru man used to serve her husband as secretary when he was senator from Missouri. The President told it him self to the press while he was dis cussing the proposal to allow addi tional expense pay to represent atives. It would be hard ‘to find stronger testimony that members of the Congress of the United States need better compensation for the work they do. No Time to Think In every practical sense, mem bers of Congress have been elected to the board of governors of the world’s grandest country — not a country clu6. They represent impor tant segments of people who have - chosen them to help boss (not a i playground) the most influential | power under the shining sun, and, ; until early last June, they got $10,000 a year — the pay of a junior executive. One of America’s ugliest habits is criticizing Congress for shortcom ings that result directly fiom being poorly paid. No one man can study all the profound issues congressmen must vote on, and no $10,000 man can afford to pay experts to digest them. Often congressmen use pre cious hours doing chores for people back home because they can’t af ford enough competent assistants. A Good Man’s Job Many solons labor intemperately. Rep. Doughton, who is past 81, rises regularly at 5:00 a.m., and starts his 12-hour day at 6:30; this after 34 years in the House and 14 years chairman of the Ways & Means Committee. What $100,000 official of industry claims to be worth more to his firm than Doughton is to his state and nation? American legisla tors are top-flight, except in pay. Must we send rich men to Con gress because poor men lack funds to finance the job, or can’t afford to maintain an extra home In wealthy Washington? Do we want incompe tents on Capitol HiU who stay there because they could never earn so much anywhere else? The answer is “no” of course: America can afford the best. Then congratulate your congressman on this increase and don’t let him wait 20 years for the next one. THAT’S FANNIN’ 'EM Tlie six-year-old son of a well- known insurance man has inherited his father’s self-confidence and gift of gab. One evening the father came home to find sonny with a ball and bat “Hi, Dad!” shouted son ny. “Watch me! I’m hitting ’em a mile!” The boy tossed the ball up, took a swing and missed. “Strike one!” he shouted gleefully. “But watch this one. Dad. Boy, oh, boy, am I going to knock the cover off this one!” Again he tossed the ball in the air, took a poke at it, missed. “Strrrike two!” he intoned. “Whata you know! Well, it only takes one to hit it. Am I going to clout this one!” Carefully he took his stance, care fully he tossed his ball, mightily he swung his bat—and missed. “Strrrike three!” he announced. “And out.” Then, exultantly, “Gee, Dad, am I a pitcher!” Electronic Smelled Harmful Mercury Development of ini« de* electro' . to I "smeller” whose t"**’ tect the presence of tbC® cury vapor in areas ’J'' to t^* fumes might be injurto go health of workers was rep jesenc® sensitive it can detect the _ jO of one part of mercury vapor million parts of air, this was designed to aid in keep'll {roOl concentration of the arising beyond a value ^j^pd- safe by various research a ards setting organizations- The danger of breathing giid vapor has long been kno work has been carried on ^ ously by management ca" tists to perfect ways ^ ^ tl® avoid harmful concentratio fumes from forming- o®'” p . -fiOO sources from which the oP' ginate include mercury sP' TIT FOB TAT I Jane—It must be two years since I’ve seen you.
