The condition of the Bridge street bridge is sncli that a replacement of the structure can- is claimed be much delayed.

our respect for the potato, because it suggests that it-is adequate as a single I'ood fulfilling all 'nutritional requirements', In our own of 'Plenty we have for tu-o years had to endure a considerable curtailment, of our meat supply, It gave those who were convinced Ihnt meat is "bad I'or you" a practical chance to try out thuir theories, but for most of us the lack of juicy steaks and roast beer in abundance has made us long for that most glorious, adequate and complete of all articles of diet.

Well, it's not likely to happen, hut our war experiences givo considerable courage In the knowledge that we can gel. along on a good deal less than wo were ac- to havo. One answer of contemporary, industry is thc soy bean.

It fullllls the rcQuiremcnts aclap lability and easy cultivation. A small plot ol' ground located nearly in North America will grow soy beans in adofjuatc amounts for a family's nutrition. I have even heard of tenement and flat dwellers who have grown enough soy beans in pots ontheir window sills to supplement their meat. rations, but I dp not guarantee this information. Nutritionally the soy bean has high adequacy It is high in- proteins.

The claim has been made that it is a complete protein.

Roosevelt gives that the unconditional surrender terms which he and Prime Minister Churchill" agreed upon at Casablanca have the support of Soviet Russia, too DEMOCRATIC POLITICOS are basing their election calculations on belief that Germany will fold up well" in advance of the November elections As a more emphasis is expected to be placed on the Pacific theater 'in speeches between now and thc end of the po- liticnl campaign.

The idea of the Democrats is to build tip Mr. Roosevelt as commander-in-chief in thc Pacific tts well as in thc war in Europe, so that if battle with Germany terminates there still will be support for their contention that F.DH must, be retained in for military, reasons.

Because of production affecting the heavy trucks, James Byrnos included them among the top priority items under his now labor directive to spur lagging munitions output. MORE 'HIGH RANKING Army and Navy oliicials have been lost II than jn any war in this nation's "'history.

He was Brig. Gen. Kd- ward Siegcrfoos, who died of wounds suffered in action in France. The first American admiral of flag rank to be killed in action was Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, 57, who lost 'his life aboard thc U.
