I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and they were out of salsa. But they offered Soy sauce as a substitute. So I ordered a vegetable burrito. I have to say it was good, but I was hungry an hour later.

TIDBITS® CONSIDERS

SOY byJanet Spencer

Economically speaking, soybeans are the most important bean in the world. Come along with Tidbits as we consider soy! SOY IN HISTORY • The soybean is a member of the legume family, and a legume is a plant that has peas or beans growing inside pods. Around 5,000 years ago, people in Asia began cultivating and eating soybeans. Soybeans are very nutritious and were so important to the ancient Chinese that they were considered to be one of the five sacred grains needed for life, along with rice, wheat, barley, and millet. • By the late 1700s soybean cultivation had spread to Europe. Soybeans were one of the few types of beans available in the Old World, until Columbus and other explorers visited the New World and brought back the beans the natives were growing there: string beans, kidney beans, and lima beans. SOYBEANS IN THE U.S. • In 1765 a sailor named Samuel Bowen came back to the U.S. from China with a sack of soybean seeds. He gave them to Henry Yonge, the Surveyor-General of Georgia. Yonge planted them and grew them with phenomenal success, reaping three crops in a single growing season. (continued next page)

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved British crime novelist Agatha Christie who made the following sage observation: “It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”

SOYBEANS IN THE U.S. (cont’d) • Samuel Bowen took the soybeans that were harvested in the state of Georgia and used them to make soy sauce and soy noodles, patenting the process he used. He presented his knowledge to British monarch King George III and was rewarded with a gift of 200 guineas from the king and a medal from the Society of Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce in England. However, when Bowen died in 1777, all Western interest in the soybean faded and wasn’t revived for many years. A SACK OF SEEDS • In 1851 a Japanese junk foundered in the ocean off the coast of Japan. A ship called the Auckland bound for San Francisco rescued the stranded sailors. When the ship arrived in California, port authorities forbad the Japanese sailors from leaving the ship for fear they would spread disease. • Dr. Benjamin Edwards was in the area waiting for a ship to take him the roundabout way back to his home in Alton, Illinois. He examined the Japanese sailors, pronounced them healthy, and allowed them shore leave. He received a thank-you gift from them. The gift was a package of soybeans. • Edwards took the seeds to Illinois with him and gave them to a horticulturist in town named John Lea. They grew so well that Lea began passing seeds out to other people interested in horticulture and agriculture, who in turn passed seeds onto others. SOYBEANS CATCH ON • In America, soybeans were thought of only in terms of hay and forage for livestock. Nearly all kinds of livestock thrived on nearly all parts of the soybean plant. But by the late 1890s, western scientists experimenting with soybeans began to make new discoveries. (continued next page)

● If you’ve ever yelled out a warning in panic -- “Stop!,” “Run!,” “Don’t!” -- you’ve used a monepic sentence, one that is complete with just a single word. Of course, at the time you probably weren’t concerned about the grammatical nature of your utterance. ● If you’re a sky-watcher, you may already know that the center star of the constellation Orion’s sword isn’t actually a star; it’s a nebula -- the only one visible from Earth with the naked eye. In fact, the Orion Nebula is so large that if the distance between the Earth and the sun were 1 inch, the relative size of the nebula would be 12 miles. ● If you were to create a rope out of one full head of human hair, that rope would be able to support 12 tons.

The water-soluble vitamins in soybeans are thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, inositol and choline. Fat-soluble vitamins present in the soybean are vitamins A and E. Vitamin A exists as provitamin beta carotene and is present in higher levels in the immature green vegetable soybean, than in the mature or dry soybean.

fo r up

SOYBEANS CATCH ON • Researchers found that soybean plants, like all legumes, improve the quality of the soil they grow in because they are able to take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form of nitrogen that enriches dirt. All plants need nitrogen to grow, but not all plants can convert it from the air. Other plants grow better in soil that legumes have recently grown in because of the increased level of nitrogen. • George Washington Carver began studying them along with the peanut, and found that the oil in the beans could be used in many different ways. Health food advocate John Kellogg promoted the use of soybeans at his health spa in Battle Creek, Michigan. His chef, Jan Willemse, used them in as many ways as possible. Many of Willemse’s recipes were even showcased at the 1934 World’s Fair. People finally began to think of soybeans as more than just livestock feed. • In the 1900s, a man named William Morse, a researcher for USDA, devoted his entire 42-year career to promoting the soybean. He founded the American Soybean Association; he wrote books about soybeans; he published papers; and he lectured. By the time he retired in 1949 he had earned the title of “The Father of Soybeans.” • In 1922 in Decatur, Illinois, the Staley Company built the first major soybean processing plant, giving Illinois farmers a guaranteed market price for soybeans. By 1938, the U.S. was exporting soy meal to other countries. • When World War II began, soybean production soared. Soybeans fed millions of starving refugees. Soybean oil replaced imported fats and oils needed to make glycerin, which was used in many ways as a solvent and lubricant. Soybean meal increased animal production. Soybean protein was used as a meat extender. (continued next page)

HENRY FORD’S MAGIC BEANS • One of Henry Ford’s interests was to improve the lot of the American farmer. He became fascinated by the soybean and sent one of his researchers to China to investigate the ways the soybean was used there. In the early 1930s Ford had 300 different types of soybean planted on 8,000 acres of farmland he owned, and his scientists began to experiment. The experimentation, which cost his company over a million dollars, paid off. • Soybean oil was used to make a superior automobile paint; it was used to oil the casting molds in the same way a cook oils a baking pan; soy fibers were stuffed into seat cushions; and soybean meal was molded into buttons and knobs for use as handles and horns. Eventually it was estimated that a bushel’s worth of soybeans went into every Ford car that rolled off the line. They were used in the window trim, the accelerator pedal, the timing gears, and many other small parts. SOY JOY • Today soy products are used in hundreds of ways: car wax, chain oil, cleaning solvents, fuel additives, hydraulic oils, paint strippers, grease, lubricants, motor oil, spray foam insulation, ink, crayons, odor reducers, nail polish remover, lawn fertilizer, hand lotion, hand cleaners, hair care products, candles, fire extinguishers, bug sprays, disinfectants, linoleum, soaps, varnishes, tape, explosives, leather softeners, and more. • About 80 million acres are planted in soy every year in the U.S., mostly in the Midwest. Many areas average 50 bushels per acre. Each bushel of soybeans (which weighs 60 lbs) can be processed to produce 10 lbs. of soybean oil, or 39 lbs. of soy flour, or 11.8 lbs. of isolated soy protein. The U.S. grows more soybeans than any other nation, supplying half the world’s soybeans. Soy also supplies more protein meal for livestock feed than any other source.

TURTLES

• A typical turtle shell is made up of about 50 different bones, which are actually modified ribs and vertebrae. Shells have nerves and a blood supply so turtles can bleed and feel pain if their shell is damaged. • The alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in North America, growing to 2.5 feet long and weighing up to 200 lbs.. An appendage on its tongue looks like a worm and acts as bait to draw prey straight to the turtle’s mouth. • Some turtles can make noises, such as a South American species that clucks like a chicken, an Asian tortoise that whines like an electric motor, a Central American species that yelps like a dog when attacked, and the leatherback sea turtle which makes a belching sound. • The largest turtle in the world is the leatherback sea turtle, which can weigh over 2,000 lbs. • Green sea turtles make a remarkable 1,200 mile migration across the ocean to lay their eggs on Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Why do they go that far? Scientists hypothesize that sea turtles, being one of the more ancient species on the planet, were around in the days when continental drift had not yet separated Brazil from Africa. The turtles simply swam a short distance from Brazil to lay their eggs on Ascension Island. But as South America drifted slowly west over the eons, the distance the turtles had to swim kept increasing. No single turtle would have noticed the difference, but after thousands of years, the turtles were swimming 1,200 miles to build their nests. As the distance increased, turtles evolved to become larger, stronger, and more muscular with greater stores of fat in order to increase their chances of making the journey successfully. • Over a million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year after trying to eat plastic, including helium balloons commonly released by schoolchildren. A sick sea turtle found on the beaches of Hawaii was taken to a vet. It died two days later. An autopsy found the following items clogging the turtle’s digestive tract: a baggie, golf tee, fishing line, plastic flower, bottle cap, and comb. • The only known instance of turtle-napping occurred in 1978 in Brooklyn. A 75 lb. show turtle named Little Rock was snatched from his motel room while his circus owner was gone. The next day, the owner received a ransom demand of $650. He was particularly concerned, because the turtle suffered from a sinus condition and required daily steam baths to keep his nasal passages clear. Two detectives hid out at the drop-off spot, and arrested a woman who came to collect the money. She led them to the turtle, who was suffering a severe sinus attack. Four more people were arrested in connection with the turtle-napping. While they were being booked, Little Rock recovered from his sinus condition in the police station shower room. • Postman Wilson Rittenhouse of Milford, New Jersey found a turtle feasting on his prize tomatoes in his backyard. He didn’t feel like sharing his produce with a turtle, so on his route the next day, he dropped the turtle off about a mile and a half from his home. Two weeks later he found the turtle in his back yard again. Now he marked the turtle’s shell and took it a mile and a half in another direction. Two weeks later, it was back again. Next he drove the turtle across the Delaware River, into Pennsylvania, and on for another five miles. In all, he travelled ten miles before dropping the turtle off. Four years went by— but the same turtle once again showed up in his tomato patch.

History of Veterans Day

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our re 3 kinds of people in this world….those States have already declared November 11 to be a an count and those who legal can’t. holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 1. What name was given to the 1959 Cadillac that

the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first "Veterans Day Proclamation" which stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible." On that same day, President Eisenhower sent a letter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs (VA), designating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.

In 1958, the White House advised VA's General Counsel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee's chairman. The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and the American people. Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
