Made In Canada. what science is doing Soybean Fibre A fibre made from soybeans has just been produced commercially for the first time by the Rackett Co. of Cincinnati and promises to be of major postwar importance, the company announces. This new soybean fibre, which Is so new it has yet to be named is claimed :.i be as warm as wool, says The Financial Post. It is resilient, strong", durable and can be made either moisture absorbent or moisture resistant. It is not a competitor of any other fibre but is said to be an entirely new material with a growing field of usefulness. It may be blended with either cotton or wool, or it may be woven or spun into fabrics. Already it has been made experimentally into blankets, felt hats, underwear, hosiery, suitings and upholstery fabrics. The process is relatively simple In operation. From the soybean is first extracted the soybean oil. After this the residue--soybean meal--is sold for livestock feed. Roughly half of this meal is protein, required amounts of which are removed to make the new fibre. Special Process This meal, it is said, gives a powder-like product. Through a special process this is liquefied and converted Into a mass wtih a consistency resembling molasses. This liquid is then forced under pressure through very fine platinum spinnerettes from which It emerges as hundreds of thin filaments. These filaments are then given a number of carefully controlled chemical treatments and baths during which they are stretched and hardened. Finally the fibres are dried and cut into any desired lengths. The • company's technologists have made many products experimentally from soybeans, Including plastics, wallboard and paints. Currently it produces about 70,000 tons of soybean meal annually, and approximately 30 million pounds of soybean oil, which is distributed under government allocations. The King's Sword For Stalingrad The pictures of the presentation of the King's sword to Premier Stalin make a pleasant memorial, a little out of the ordinary in the chronicles of the meeting at Teheran. It was the great sword of honor, presented by Mr. Churchill in the name of the King, on the behalf of the people of Britain, in expression of their honor and respect for the people of Stalin- The symbolism o-f the sword and the cross are entwined in the story of the great wars. The sword of the Crusader was like a cross and so was the sword of Joan of Arc. The King's sworcl for Stalingrad lay for three days on the altar of Westminster Abbey. And it was taken in a sort of procession and pilgrimage through the towns of -Britain and was seen by millions of the British people. More than 200 ex-service men are now serving as conductors on London buses. A former disabled Commando is among the latest to join the London Transport Service in this capacity.
