THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ OCTOBER 24, 1941
Camp Cavalcade
CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade
^ of American history—such as the
men behind the names of the great
army cantonments scattered ail
over the United States, where young
Americans are learning to be sol
diers in order to defend their coun
try when the need arises.
Near Nevada, Mo., stands a camp
which bears the name of one of the
greatest explor
ers in the annals
of America. He
was William
Clark, younger
brother of George
Rogers Clark,
conqueror of the
Old Northwest
during the Revo
lution. Bom in
Virginia in 1770,
William Clark
was appointed a
WUUam Clark lieutenant in the
regular army in
1792 and served with Gen. Anthony
Wayne in the campaign against the
Indians in 1793-94 which ended in
the decisive Battle of Fallen Tim
bers. A brother lieutenant in that
army was a redheaded Virginian
named Meriwether Lewis who was
to be Clark’s partner in an undertak
ing which would make both men
famous. That was the exploration of
the vast empire in the West acquired
by President Thomas Jefferson’s
Louisiana Purchase. They started up
the Missouri river on May 14, 1804,
and after a journey of 8,000 miles
which took them, through many
perils, clear to the Pacific coast,
they returned to St. Louis on Sep
tember 23, 1806. Camp Clark in Mis
souri honors his memory, as Fort
Lewis in Washington honors that of
his partner in their “magnificent ad
venture.”
Down in Texas is another camp
named for a white man who exerted
unusual influence over the Indians.
It is Camp Bullis, near San An
tonio, which perpetuates the fame
of Brig. Gen. John Lapham Bullis.
He served three years in the Union
army during the Civil war, became
second lieutenant in the regular
army in 1867 and during the next 14
years made an enviable record as
an Indian fighter. In 1882 the Texas
legislature passed a resolution
thanking him “for the gallant and
efficient services in repelling the
depredations of Indians and other
enemies of the frontier of Texas.”
Promoted to captain, Bullis was
named agent for the Apache Indians
at San Carlos, Ariz., one of the most
difficult and dangerous posts in the
West. But he won the respect and
admiration of these savages so com
pletely that when he left San Carlos
at the end of four years they were
a peaceable and prosperous tribe.
Soon afterwards he was named
agent for the Pueblos and Jicarilla
Apaches in New Mexico and his four
years there were equally successful.
Bullis was retired from the army as
a brigadier general in 1905 and died
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, on
May 26, 1911.
Camp Boyd near El Paso, I'exas,
is named for another army officer
who served in two wars. Charles
Trumbull Boyd (1871-1916), a native
of Iowa, was graduated from West
Point in 1896 and became a cavalry
officer. He saw active service in
the Philippines in 1898 to 1900 and,
after an interim as professor of mil
itary science and tactics at the Uni
versity of Nevada and a practicing
lawyer in California, returned to the
Islands as a major of the Philippine
Scouts. In 1916 he joined his old
regiment in the regular army, the
Fourth cavalry, in the punitive ex
pedition against Villa into Mexico
and was killed in action at Carrizal,
on June 21—the only American offi
cer to die in this “Second War with
Mexico.”
Camp McCoy, near Sparta, Wis.,
also honors a veteran of two wars—
Maj. Gen. Robert Bruce McCoy,
who captained a company of Wis
consin volunteers in the Spanish-
American war, commanded the
L25th infantry and later the 128th
Infantry of the Thirty-second divi
sion of the A.E.F. and represented
the war department in establishing
the reservation which has been used
tor war games in recent years and
which has borne his name since
1926.
Camp Fordyce in the town of Sam
Fordyce, Texas, is named for S.
IV. Fordyce, a leading attorney of
St. Louis who served as counsel for
the War Finance corporation dur
ing the World war. He was a di
rector of the M. K. & T. railroad
and a director of many important
sorporations in the Southwest.
‘Soldiers of Freedom’
“To the Soldiers of the National
krmy: The heart of the whole coun
try is with you. Everything that
fou do will be watched with deep
interest. For this great war draws
as all together, makes us all com-
•ades and brothers, as all true
Americans felt themselves to be
when we first made good our inde-
oendence. The eyes of all the world
arill be upon you, because you are
m some special sense the soldiers of
’reedom.”—President Woodrow Wil
ton’s message, September 3, 1917.
HALLOWEEN TRICKS FOR OCTOBER’S FAVORITE PARTY
(See Recipes Below)
WITCHES’ NIGHT OUT
Spooks and fun while the goblins,
black cats and ghosts make merry—
isn’t that an in
spiration to have
one grand, merry
party before the
winter sets in?
Come, let’s plan
stew and brew
and set the
witches’ cauldron
boiling* and bub
bling!
You’ll need hearty sandwiches,
plentiful and hot since the weath
er’s slightly nipped with frost. Of
course you’ll have cider and dough
nuts because they’re wedded togeth
er and traditional. To top it off,
have a witches’ cake, a chocolaty,
honest - to - goodness devil’s food,
moist and crumbly, and perhaps one
of those pumpkin shaped molds of
ice cream, or at least orange ice,
to carry out October’s orange and
black color scheme.
The party starts as soon as the
invitptions are sent out. These can
be pumpkin, black cat or cauldron
shaped, made double with the invi
tation written on the inside. Send
them early so your guests won’t
make other plans. The more, the
merrier.
Twirl some streamers of orange
and black crepe paper around the
room, bring out the frayed straw
hats, checked shirts, and grand
mother’s costumes from that trunk
in the attic. All set? Here we go:
*Sandwiches.
These can be made on the buffet
or at the table if you have a sand
wich toaster. If made in the kitchen
use the broiler. Have asserted
bread, butter, place cheese on first
layer, then another slice of buttered
bread, then a slice of ham, and top
with a slice of bread. Toast, cut in
three, and fasten with toothpicks.
To bewitch your family and guests
completely serve them a cake with
that agreeable
melt - in - your -
mouth quality.
Measure the in
gredients careful
ly so you’ll attain
that feathery
lightness so es
sential to a good
cake. After the icing is spread on
the cake, make decorations with
melted chocolate.
♦Witches’ Cake.
(Devil’s Food)
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons double acting baking
powder
% teaspoon soda
V* teaspoon salt
Vz cup butter or shortening
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks, well beaten
3 squares unsweetened chocolate,
melted
IVi cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Sift flour once, measure, add bak
ing powder, salt and soda. Sift to
gether three times. Cream butter
thoroughly, add sugar, and cream
LYNN SAYS:
A Halloween party can be a
success without the least fuss.
First of all, decorations and ta
ble settings don’t have to be
letter perfect, for you can have
the most fun in the midst of the
basement or barn decorated with
sheaves of cornstalk, pumpkin
faces, rakes, hoes and goblins
made of sheets.
For your table use a large
piece of burlap or cotton sacks
sewed together and dyed scarlet
or gold. A centerpiece of pump
kin with candles inside the hol
low or fruit and burnished au
tumn leaves will bring cheers.
Write fortunes and place them
in apples or nuts. Play pin the
tail on the cat. Bob for apples.
Have target practice with bean
shooters. Dance the Virginia Reel
and other square dances if your
floor can stand it—all amid plenty
of black and orange crepe paper.
Halloween’s the time for all this
noisy fun.

A cake that wins a place in the
Hall of Fame is this spice cake

spice cake for it has the subtle fla
vor of bananas combined with the
spices:

AI.I. OUT FOR THE SPAGHETTI
HEARING!
What is spaghetti, and if so how?
• • •
Is macaroni playing fair with the
government?
• • •
Is the federal security program in
any way being balked by the vermi
celli situation? .
*' • •
These are questions which the
government of the United States of
America is now handling despite all
the other serious matters we
thought were taking up its time.
• • •
And what department do you
think is considering the spaghetti,
macaroni and vermicelli situation?
You’d never guess. The Federal
Security administration! Yes, sir.
Federal Security Administrator
Paul V. McNutt has ordered a hear
ing on the whole subject.
* • •
Is victory over Hitler and Musso
lini tied up in some way with the
dollar Italian dinner? Is the ulti
mate triumph of democracy depend
ent on a standardized bowl of
spaghetti? Are the Four Freedoms
remotely linked with honesty in the
macaroni, spaghetti and vermicelli
trades?
• • •
Who can say? All we know is that
Mr. McNutt had ordered a hearing
by the Food and Drug board for
defense reasons. Even the ravioli
situation may be gone into.
• • •
It just goes to show you the
tfeing the long arm of the govern
ment gets into these days. Not even
a plate of minestrone soup can go
its own unregulated, undisciplined,
uncontrolled way.
• • •
And by the way who is the Fed
eral Administrator in Charge of
Noodles for the fiscal year?
• • *
And have you got the address of
the U. S. Chop Suey administration
and the first name of the govern
ment Grated Cheese Dishes co
ordinator?
• • •
But to get back to the Italian
dinner crisis. We understand the
macaroni hearing is to be for the
purpose of going over the whole
spaghetti, vermicelli and macaroni
situation in America with the idea
of making certain it does justice to
modem government and that there
is nothing about it - that might at
some time show that Washington
had not been on the job.
* • •
The government is out to protect
you from false spaghetti- just as it
protects you from a bad stock mar
ket investment. It would give you
the same safety in the matter of
buying 10 yards of spaghetti that it
tries to give you in acquiring a few
shares of common stocks.
• * •
Spaghetti should be cord shaped
and measure between 0.06 and not
more than 0.11 in diameter, the gov
ernment holds. It has specified cer
tain specific shapes, and contours
for macaroni and vermicelli, with
or without grated cheese.
• » •
And it is sticking to its policy of
protecting you against everything,
except a fly in your minestrone. It
may yet get around to that. We
hope the spaghetti hearing is a
happy one and that somebody will
provide red wine.
