August 30, 1943. DECATUR HERALD Growers Fight Restrictions On Soya Flour flour goes to lend-lease. Post-War Uses Cited How much soya flour the government will permit in a loaf of bread is concerning soybean growers. Next week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the American Soybean association, a producers' organization. will open its annual meeting.

One of the subjects for discussion will be the suggested pure food and drug act decreeing that only onehalf of one per cent of soya flour may be added to a loaf of bread. J. E. Johnson. Champaign farmer and vice president of the association.

has announced. Argues Inconsistency Mr. Johnson has pointed out that under the act only a pinch flour would be used while of, per soya cent of soya flour could be used to the benefit of a whole nation. He said: "We do contend the inconsistency and unfairness of urging production on one hand and controlling the use on the other." Farmers' goals for soybean production have been increased over past years, and soybeans are classified as a war crop. The goal for soya flour this year is one billion and million pounds, an official of the A.

E. Staley Mfg. Co. said yesterday. One-third of that amount.

he added. is for domestic use. Large amounts of the soya The use of soya flour after the war as well as now is the concern of the soybean grower, Mr. Johnson pointed out. A representative of the soybean processing industry, C.

F. Marshall. said: "Before the years of peace arrive, we must fight for a decent share in the food picture, fight unfair curtailment whenever we find it, and be prepared to assume our rightful responsibility as the important health factor which we are in the diet of our nation." A Staley official said yesterday that he had eaten bread last week which contained five per cent soya flour, and no taste nor smell of soybeans could be detected. He added that i ice cream had been made experimentally with soya flour. and that the tester at the Staley plant did not detect the soya content.

LOCAL 3 Persons Obliged To File Income -Data Are Listed Persons who are required to file a declaration of estimated income and victory tax for 1943 on or before Sept.

15 have been listed in a statement issued by Joe Nelson. manager of the Decatur internal revenue office. Even though copies of the declaration form were mailed to about 60.000 taxpayers in Macon county. not all of that number will be pected to file the report. Mr.

Nelson pointed out. Single Persons Involved Single persons who must file the declaration form are briefly: Those whose gross income from wages is expected to exceed $2.700 in 1943. or did exceed that amount in 1942. Those whose income from sources other than wages, which are subject to withholding tax; is expected to exceed $100. or did exceed that amount in 1942.

may be increased or decreased without penalty by filing an amended declaration by Dec. 15. 1943. The declaration is not a complete return, Mr. Nelson said.

It is merely a short slip (Form 1040 E. showing: (1) the estimated income and victory tax for 1943, or the 1942 tax. if higher; (2) the estimated income and victory tax withheld during the year; (3) the payments made in 1943 for the 1942 income tax: (4) the unpaid balance of the estimated tax. Work Sheets Provided Work sheets furnished by the government, which were mailed with Form 1040 E. are solely for the benefit of the taxpayer and need not be filed with the declaration form.

Figures shown on the declaration are not to be supported by any schedules, showing how they were reached. Mr. Nelson said. "A completed return will be filed by all taxpayers on or before March 15. 1944.

and this completed return will contain all the information and have the necessary supporting schedules," Mr. Nelson said. Form 1040 E. S. is used by everyrequired to file.

Dehydrating and Canning Record Pack Here A type of preservation with which only a few Decatur women are familiar, is dehydration, a method by which much of the food being sent overseas to the military forces is prepared. This dehydrator was borrowed by Mrs.

W. R. Lyon, 310 Linden 1 Mrs. W. S.

Threlfall, 236 North Taylor avenue, purchased this freezing unit this year so that she might take her extra ration points and put away a While her husband, Dr. W. M. Talbert, a lieutenant-commander, is on duty with the U. S.

navy, Mrs. Talbert, 316 North Summit street, does her part in the war effort by canning at all hours. Her two older children, Patty and Bill, have been a constant help. For several weeks while the family 1942 Christmas Seals Of Finland Arrive Here Tuberculosis Christmas seals of Finland, issued last year, were received last weekend from Helsinki by Rubye Mochel, executive secretary of the Macon County Visiting Nurse and Tuberculosis association. The seal design includes a boy and girl approaching their cottage home under the star that shines in the sky and near the birch tree.

The explanation of the design was that the children were refugees who had been taken to another land for safety, but who dreamed of returning to their home by the birch and under the bright star, in Finland. Before the present war, 48 counsold tuberculosis Christmas seals, like in the United States, to get funds for carrying out health programs. The seal sale originated Jin Denmark. End of Record Canning Season In Sight Here War needs have made expert canners of women who had never expected to do any canning during their lifetimes and have been responsible for the renewing of canning skills on the part of those women who have not canned for many years. Mrs.

Victor B. Pharis, chairman of canning activities for the OCD consumers committee, said yesterday that 1943 apparently is the biggest canning year since professionallv canned food came into use. At present. the end of the canning season is in sight. she said.

However, in addition to the last tomatoes which have yet to be canned. many persons are planning to can hominy, sweet potatoes, and poultry. Peaches Expensive Michigan peaches are just now coming onto the market. but few people will be able afford to can this expensive fruit. she said.

The period for making juice and jellies of homegrown grapes is just opening. however, although the lack of rain may prevent a good season for these. A few enterprising gardeners will have late for canning as they are planting fall gardens. The largest cron of fall vegetables for canning will be green beans. A count of cans on the Decatur housewives' shelves probably would reveal that there are far more tomatoes.

corn and green beans preserved winter use than anv other vegetables or foyer fruits. Mrs. Pharis said. She pointed out that at the carving center there was more corn canned than anything else. Hot Pack Method Prevails The most nopular method of canning.

Mrs. Pharis said, has been the hot pack. because it is the safest method next to the use of pressure, cookers. cooker canning, recommended as the only completely safe way of canning. could not be used bv most Decatur women because the cookers were unavailable.

she pointed out. However. those housewives who did own them loaned them to friends. Local freezing plants could not begin to supply lockers for the number of persons requesting to rent them. she said.

Freezing hit a new high in popularity this summer. however. as those housewives with lockers found that this method of preservation is among the easiest. The food has onlv to be blanched before it is quick-frozen. Some persons prepare vegetables in brine and fruits in syrups, she said.

Dehydration Unpopular Least popular of the food preservation methods in Decatur is the newest method, dehydration or drying. Mrs. Pharis explained that the drying method has not gained popularity because the food when refreshed and served does not look like the original fruit or vegetable. Some flavor also is lost in the process. Carrots, which may be used in soups.

and corn, which dries better than other items. have been dehydrated by several Decatur housewives in the oven. The door is left oven so that air may circulate and the oven is set at a very low temperature. The food is placed on specially constructed shelves, wood and cheesecloth, and remains in the oven for five or six hours. A home dehydration unit has been built by a commercial house and is for sale in a Decatur store.

It works on the same principle as oven drying but has some built-in special features such as graduated trays and controlled moisture. Mrs. Rosa Fear, 59, Dies In D. M. C.

More than 400,000 pounds of cans have been shipped from Decatur and Macon county in the can salvage program which opened last December. Fifty tons of cans will provide enough steel for a little more than three tanks or 100,000 hand grenades. More than one and a half million cans have been prepared by housewives in the county, William Ward, chairman of the program, estimated.

Instead of the large decrease in the number of salvaged tin cans expected during the summer months when housewives can get fresh fruits and vegetables. there has been very little in contributions during few decrease, months. Mr. Ward said. Mr.

Ward pointed out that not only did these cans help the tin shortage situation but were a large contribution to the steel scrap program.

Balkans (Continued from Page 1) 2-An army coup d'etat through the Bulgarian army and Bulgarian national police to place the country entirely in the hands of Berlin. 3-A popular uprising which would overthrow the monarchy and establish a republican or socialist government under the sway of Russia. Death Remains Mystery However, Turkey considers a popular Bulgarian revolt possible only if the Germans are unable to send sufficiently strong forces into Bulgaria or to the borders to protect the pro-German army and police from such an uprising. While the German radio relayed what it said were official announcements from Sofia that King Boris died of natural causes, his death remained a mystery with rumors continuing to circulate that his illness had been induced by a violent quarrel with Hitler or that he had been shot by an anti-Fascist. 'Disaster for Germany' Typical comment of London newspapers was that of the Sunday Express which labeled King Boris' death a "great disaster for Germany" and added that it was "almost certain to give strength to a considerable body of opinion in Bulgaria which favors an early exit from the war." Hitler Sends Wires Expressing Sympathy London, England (AP) The Berlin radio said yesterday that Adolf Hitler had sent telegrams of sympathy to Premier Bogdan Philov and Queen Ioanna of Bulgaria following the death of King Boris III.

The broadcast, recorded by the Associated Press, said Hitler sent this telegram to the premier: "I would like to convey to your excellency on the occasion of the death of His Majesty King Boris mine and the German people's most cordial sympathy. "I know that you are closely linked to your sovereign in his historic mission for the future of Bulgaria, as a faithful concellor. I feel with you deeply the heavy loss which Bulgaria has suffered. "Please express my condolences also to the Royal Bulgarian cabinet." The following telegram, the broadcast said, went to the widowed Queen: "The moving news of the death of His Majesty King Boris has given me great sorrow. Bulgaria loses in King Boris a sovereign who led the history of his people with admirable courage and circumspect wisdom.

"I myself lose in him a faithful friend and ally whose memory will be forever highly honored by myself and the German people. I ask Your Majesty to accept mine and the whole German people's deeply felt and sincere sympathy for the Royal house and the Bulgarian nation."

Read of Springfield, regional director of the war finance committee. meets with theater managers and committee members of the previous war loan drives, Lynn Clark, county chairman, has announced. The Macon county goal of 188.000 will be broken down into quotas for townships, farms and Decatur. In April when the second drive was conducted. Macon county had a goal of $3,200,000.

Therefore, during this drive, Mr. Clark said, Macon county residents will be required to do more than last time. One more bond than usual should be purchased in September by each bond buyer, he suggested. Plans for explaining the drive throughout the county have been made, Mr. Clark said.

Speakers who will talk about the war loan drive will appear at as many meetings as possible which take place during the time of the drive. Explanation will be made through newspaper advertising and radio broadcasts, he added. Special effort will be made, he said, to explain the drive to school children.

The position of German Minister Werner Best, who had followed a policy of liberal collaboration with the Danes, was not clear. He was reported to have declared after Danish rejection of his ultimatum that "I'm a dead man in Berlin. My policy has failed." Von Hannecken's decree put most of the ultimatum demands into effect.

Thus Denmark, once Hitler's socalled "model protectorate," joined Norway, Holland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and other European countries under Nazi oppression. That the Germans themselves anticipated a continuation of the "people's revolt" which flared into the open Aug. 16 with widespread riots, general strikes and sabotage was seen in the proclamation ordering German soldiers to fire without warning or consideration to crush disturbances. The Nazis dug out their stereotyped technique for making extraordinary moves-reminiscent of the days of 1940 and 1941-when they cut off all communications with Denmark: Saturday afternoon and set up machinery to enforce martial law. Then came Von Hannecken's proclamation.

This decision to take over administration of the country--with Danish civil servants instructed to stay on their jobs under German officers- came after the government of Premier Eric Scavenius flatly rejected the drastic ultimatum presented by best on Saturday. Travelers reported that the Danish cabinet resigned on presentation of the demands, and there was a rumor that King Christian had threatened to abdicate if the government bowed to the ultimatum. Report Ship Bombed A German-controlled Danish news broadcast from Copenhagen last night said the population was quiet and that martial law had been imposed "more or less without difficulty." But the situation remains serious. the broadcaster said, adding: "The Danish people must understand that the patience of the occupying power is at an end." A rumor which Swedish newspapermen could not confirm, said that German planes had bombed and sunk the Niels Iuel, a Danish coastal defense boat normally carrying 365 men, as she tried to escape. Fighting was reported raging around the royal castle Amlienborg in Copenhagen, which one traveler described as "filled with German troops and tanks." (A Swedish radio broadcast recorded by the U.

S. foreign broadcast intelligence service said seven Nazi warships, including an auxiliary cruiser, had anchored in the narrow strait between Denmark and Sweden.) tion. was without a car, Bill daily rode on his bicycle to a relative's garden in the country, picked a bushel of produce and rode it back home. Patty has helped her mother with the canning, itself, as she is doing in this picture. Mrs.
