THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, OCTOBER 31, 1941 S. B. Holabird Camp Cavalcade CHADOWY figures in a cavalcad* ^ of American history—such as th« men behind the names of the great army cantonments scattered ali over the United States, where young Americans are learning to be sol diers in order to defend their coun try when the need arises. If, for many years. Uncle Sam’s soldiers have been the best cared- for of any in the world, much oi the credit for that fact belongs tc the man for whom Camp Hol abird, near Bal timore, Md., is named. Samuel B. Holabird, a na tive of Connecti cut, was graduat ed from West Point in 1849 and after several years’ service on the frontier was appointed captain and assistant quartermaster soon after the out break of the Civil war. Much oi his service during that conflict was in Maryland and West Virginia as chief quartermaster in various di visions and corps of the Union army. After the war he was chief quarter master of the military departments of Dakota, Texas and California and in 1883 he was appointed quarter master-general of the United States army, a position which he held until he was retired as a brigadier-gen eral in 1890. At that time it was said of him: “General Holabird was ever alert to the needs of the army and while occupying the position of quartermaster-general he intro duced many reforms to improve the condition of the enlisted men, supply ing them with comforts and conven iences which soldiers could scarcely have dreamed of 25 years earlier.’’ Camp Guild near Wakefield, Mass., is named for a journalist and sol dier, Curtis Guild, (1860-1915) who was born in Boston and succeeded his father in the ownership of the Boston Commercial Bulletin. He was brigadier-general of the Massa chusetts militia at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war and aft er being mustered into the volun teer service was inspector-general of the department of Havana in Cuba. General Guild was elected lieutenant-governor of Massachu setts in 1902 and served two terms. Camp Michie at Del Rio, Texas, honors the memory of Virginia-born Robert E. Lee Michie (1864-1918), who was graduated from West Point in 1885 and served in the cavalry at various posts in the West. During the Spanish-American war he was adjutant-general of the department of Havana in Cuba and served in the Philippines in 1903-04. At the out break of the World war he was made a brigadier-general of the na tional army and was commander of the Fifty-third infantry brigade at Camp Wadsworth, S. C. Camp Callan, near San Diego, Calif., bears the name of Maj. Gen. Robert Emmet Callan, born in Maryland in 1874 and now retired. He saw his first active service in the Puerto Rican campaign in 1898. As chief of staff of the army artil lery of the First army of the A.E.F., he won the D.S.M. for having “de veloped the heavy artillery regi ments under his command into com bat units of remarkable efficiency which proved to be of the utmost value during the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives.” Heroes of World War I, both offi cers and enlisted men, have pro vided names for numerous train ing camps. There is Camp Sibert near Boulder City, Nev., which recalls the serv ices of Maj. Gen. William Luther Sibert (1860-1935) the Alabama en gineer who bui^t the Gatun locks and dam in the Panama canal, for which he re ceived the thanks of congress, and who commanded the First division of the A.E.F. in France under Gen eral Pershing. There is Camp Edwards near For- estdale. Mass., named for Maj. Gen. Clarence E. Edwards (1860-1931), commander of the Twenty-Sixth (“Yankee”) division of the A.E.F. who was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for having organized that division and commanding it with distinction during all but 18 days of its active service at the front from February 4 to November 11, 1918. W. L. Sibert National Army Spirit “A visit ta one of the canton ments is unforgettable. The great ness of this superb effort to raise an army that will be truly national floods the heart with fire and pride. These molten pools of manhood have been poured into the crucible. The dross is being purged, the harden ing metal tempered and welded, I think it will be the finest army the world has ever seen, because It is a true cross section of a nation.”— Christopher Morley, writing from Camp Dix, October 24, 1917. MINERAL AND VITAMIN RICHES FOR HEALTH (See Recipes Below) YOUR DEFENSE: HEALTH Help yourself to your share of health by giving your meals plenty of health-giving foods and ward off the lack of resistance to disease that comes from not getting enough of properly balanced foods. Economy and health will be the key words this season and through out the country you homemakers will have to take your part and build the back bone of the coun try by feeding your families food that builds strong bodies, steady nerves and high morale. Fortunately, good, health building food is not just achieved through more buying power, but through wise buying. You can use canned vegetables or low-priced fresh vegetables, cheaper cuts of meat, milk and canned fruits. You’ve been hearing lots about vi tamins, so check yourself on them: Vitamin A is for resistance to in fection, for growth and general well being. You’ll need it for your eyes, too, for poor vision and night blind ness are common symptoms of the body’s lack of this vitamin. You’ll find it aplenty in milk, butter, vege tables green and yellow, fruits and eggs. It’s also the one vitamin which you can store in the body. Vitamin Bl, sometimes called thi amin, is for appetite and good diges tion. This vita min’s for good morale. If you’re lazy, grouchy or nervous look into the matter. The chances are that you’ve been neg lecting pork, liv er, meat, en- riched cereals and enriched bread and bread flour, nuts, and peas. Vitamin B2 is sometimes called vitamin G also and also goes undzr the name riboflavin. If your nails have been brittle and grow slowly and break off easily or your hair and skin are generally in poor con dition, add some of these good sources of vitamin B2 to your diet: milk, liver, eggs, cheese, lean meats and leafy vegetables. Gums bleeding? Teeth decay eas ily? Perhaps you’re missing out on vitamin C, for this is the vitamin that goes right into your system and helps you have good teeth and bones. If your diet contains plenty of citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruit), tomatoes, fresh fruits and vegeta bles, you won’t have trouble with teeth, bones, or wounds not healing. Vitamin D boosts vitamin C and calcium into action, makes them utilize the other vitamins and min erals. Vitamin D i»n’t easy to find in foods, although eggs, salmon, sardines and herring contain some of it. Milk can be fortified with this vitamin and then it is called “ir radiated.” Most common way of getting the vitamin is either through milk of this type or by taking cod liver oil in winter, sunbaths in the summer, for it is formed in the skin LYNN SAYS: Here’s your guide for meal planning for health: Milk: % to 1 quart a day for each child and nursing mothers. 1 pint a day for everyone else. Vegetables: 1 or more servings a day of the leafy green or yel low vegetables; 1 serving of po tatoes or sweet potatoes. Fruits: 1 serving of tomatoes, grapefruit, or oranges a day; 1 serving of another fruit. Eggs: 1 a day or 4 to 5 a week. Lean meat, fish, poultry: 1 or more servings a day. About % of a pound of meat or fish is the day’s quota. Cereals: 1 serving daily of en riched cereal. Bread and Butter: At every meal. Sweets: some sweets occasion ally to satisfy the, appetite. This may be included in the dessert or an occasional piece of candy. THIS WEEK’S MENU Tomato Soup •Liver and Vegetable Pie Creamed Spinach Cabbage Slaw Bread and Butter Prune Whip Beverage •Recipe Given by the ultraviolet rays of the sun. That’s the round-up of vitamins. Now, how about minerals? You’ve probably heard that you need calcium to build good bones and teeth, but did you know that you need it to help your blood to clot when you have a wound and that you need it also to regulate your muscle contraction? No food keeps people from getting old in definitely but if you’ve good calcium deposits, you’ll at least postpone old age for awhile. Milk and green vegetables burst with calcium so use them every day. Don’t forget the salads: carrots, cabbage, and cel ery aren’t too expensive in winter and they’re calcium-rich. Phosphorus works together with calcium in building bones and nerves. Milk, cereals, meat, cheese, eggs, nuts—all these have a good phosphorus content. Iron’s a marvelous pep-you-upper. Not only does it guard against lag ging energy but also digestive dis turbances and general irritability. Iron goes to work and makes red, red blood cells that are just about the hardest working cells you’ll ever find. The red blood cell shuttles between your lungs and your 7,000- mile-long circulatory system drop ping off the oxygen and carrying out the carbon dioxide. You need lots of iron so don’t miss a day on iron foods. That means you’ll be eating plenty of liver, mo lasses, oatmeal, dried apricots, eggs, whole wheat, lean beef, cab bage, oysters and raisins from now on. Iron by itself is apt to be a bit lazy. It needs copper to make it get to work, so be sure to have prunes often, whole-grain cereals, oatmeal, dried fruits, liver and oy sters at some one of your three meals. Iodine spells power. It is released to your system by the thyroid gland which is near the Adam’s apple. Sluggishness, mental and physical, are the result of lack of iodine or thy roid deficiency. Seafood contains iodine as well as garden vegetables. Salt has been iodized to help out general deficien cy, and cranberries if raised in low- lying lands near the sea are a popu lar source of iodine. Magnesium balances calcium, and as you’re getting your milk you’ll be getting magnesium, too. Other sources are green leafy vegetables. That’s the line-up. You’ll notice that many foods contain both 'or sev eral kinds of essential minerals and vitamins. Of course that should make the job you have to do easier. •Liver and Vegetable Pie.

Eleanor Roosevelt UNITED WOMEN One night, Mayor LaGuardia flew down to Washington, had dinner with us, and spoke before a meet ing of the United Women’s Organiza tions in the District of Columbia. This group of women’s organizations is composed today of 57 women’s groups, ranging from labor groups to political organizations. They started with a meeting ol 12 and stated that they would come together in a united organization to work for civilian defense. I think this is a fine achievement and hope there will be co-ordination and unity all over the country at this time in the interests of greater efficiency in community defense work. The next morning, Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt arrived in time to have breakfast with me at eight o’clock on the south portico. Then I met my daughter and son-in-law on their arrival from Seattle, Wash. It gives a lift to my spirits just to see these two young people, even though I am so busy that I think most of our talking will be done in the middle of the night! At 10 o’clock, I was at the Office of Civilian Defense, and returned be fore lunch in time for two appoint ments at the White House. Then, three representatives of the Ameri can Women’s Volunteer and some of our Civilian Defense Office staff, came to lunch. We talked over the co-operation between the American Women’s Volunteer association workers already in the field, and the Civilian Defense people, working through our voluntary information and placement bureaus. I hope this will develop in every part of the country and am anxious that we should use all the work that has been done. We must keep in mind the objectives before all of us, which are to do good work to meet emergency situations and to improve the communities in which we live. • • • PLANNING AHEAD One afternoon I again had the pleasure of meeting with the re gional directors of the social securi ty board. This time I heard them discuss some of the problems which are facing them, not only today, but in the future. Very wisely, they are thinking not only of such things as they may have to meet now, but of what may come when the present emergency is at an end and another period of readjustment is before us. It is a great satisfaction to me to find so many groups looking for ward and planning ahead, so that we shall not be caught unawares. I find this one of the most encourag ing signs, for it shows that some of us, at least, are able to profit by experiences in the past. • • • POSTCARD REQUESTS I have received several post cards which interested me very much. Suddenly people seem to have the urge to put their innermost secrets on post cards! One person asks me kindly to arrest three other people, asserting that they are guilty of slander. It never seems to occur to the gentleman that the power of ar rest lies in the hands of certain spe cial individuals, authorized by the government, and if I started usurp ing their rights, they might be some what indignant. I also have a post card which di rects that I shall bring certain prac tices of a local draft board to the attention of the President, and to no one else. The writers. are ap parently not at all interested in ask ing the proper people at the head of the draft service in their difficulties. In fact, they tell me, that if the President, himself, can not take a hand in this matter, under no cir cumstances am I to give the post card to anyone else! However, these two cards show a confidence in the fact that the White House will take an interest in pri vate matters which are brought to its attention. I think this is very flattering and am very grateful to both of these writers, though I am afraid I can not do anything about either request which meets their desires. • • • FREEDOM’S PEOPLE On another night, Dr. John Stude- baker and Dr. Ambrose Caliver, and several of their assistants, brought over the transcription of their radio program, “Freedom’s People.” The secretary of the treasury and Mrs. Morgenthau, and Lord and Lady Mountbatten were with us. We all sat and listened with great pleasure to this program, which will be followed by others, all of which I hope will be equally interesting and well carried out. These programs should bring be fore the whole people, the contribu tion of the Negro race to the nation. After we listened to this program, Lord Mountbatten brought in the records of two songs by Noel Cow ard, which have been a great suc cess in London lately. One is called “London Pride,” and is charming. The other has to be approached with a sense of humor. It was writ ten to stimulate the British govern ment to giving proper consideration and equipment to the Home Guard. It is fairly satirical, but they tell me it achieved its object. How to Make Your Own Rugs A HOOKED rug gives your home such a warm, intimate air! And you can hook this charming design easily. I Alien Officers For many years in the British army, says Collier’s, King Haakon of Norway has held the rank of colonel, Kings Christian of Den mark and Leopold of the Bel gians have been colonels-in-chief and Emperor Hirohito of Japan nas been a field marshal, a rank higher than that of a full general. Use any material you have on hand (though woolen is best) and as for colors—the more the mer rier! Lovely together are rose, green, black, beige, orchid. • • • Our 32-page booklet gives exact instruc tions and patterns for making the New England hooked rug.
