THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C., NOVEMBER 7, 1941 Camp Cavalcade .'CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade ^ ot American history—such as the men behind the names of the great army cantonments scattered all 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 Watsonville, Calif., is the only camp named for an army chap lain—Father Jos eph P. McQuaide, who served as chaplain for the corps in the Phil ippines from 1899 to 190 0, was drafted into the federal service August 5, 1917, went overseas and served there until December, 1918. C o m m i s- sioned a major in 1922, he became regimental chaplain of the 250th coast artillery, a position which he held when he died in Los Angeles, March 29, 1924. Camp Barkeley, near Abilene, Texas, is named for private David B. Barkeley (1898-1918) of Company A, 365th infantry, Eighty-ninth divi sion, who was awarded, posthu mously, the Congressional Medal of Honor “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, above and beyond the call of duty, in action with the enemy near Pouilly, France, No vember 8, 1918.’’ Barkeley respond ed to a call for volunteers to swim across the River Meuse to recon- noiter enemy positions, secured the desired information but was drowned while returning. California also has a camp near San Miguel, named for a soldier who was awarded, posthumously, a Congressional Medal of Honor. He was Corp. Harold W. Roberts (1899- 1918) of Company A, 344th battalion, tank corps, who, when the tank which he was driving slid into a shell-hole, 10 feet deep and filled with water, gave up his chance to escape, pushed his gunner through the back door of the tank and was himself drowned. Camp Davis, at Holly Ridge, N. C., honors a North Carolinian, Maj. Gen. Richmond Pearson Davis (1866-1937), chief of artillery of the Ninth corps of the A.E.F. and win ner of the D.S.M. Camp Croft, near Spartanburg, S. C., is named for South Carolina’s Maj. Gen. Edward Croft (1875-1938), who came out of the World war as a colonel with two decorations, the Silver Star and the Purple Heart, rose through the grades to major- general and was made chief of in fantry of the army in 1933. Camp Williams, near Sparta, Wis., bears the name of a Pennsylvania- born journalist who, after work ing on newspa pers in Missouri, became a foreign c o rrespondent and gave up that career to become first lieutenant with the 128th machine gun bat talion of the A.E. F. He is Maj. Gen. John F. Wil liams, who be came a colonel in the Missouri National Guard in 1923 and is now chief of the National Guard bureau of the war depart ment in Washington. Camp Wolters, near Mineral Wells, Texas, recalls the services of Brig. Gen. Jacob F. Wolters of Hou ston, who organized the Texas cav alry during the World war and after wards recruited a regiment of cav alry in New Mexico to complete the brigade. Later he was placed in command of the Fifty-sixth cavalry brigade cf the Texas National Guard and he is said to be the only man ever awarded a service medal of appreciation, given by an act of the legislature of the Lone Star state. Camp Blanding, near Starke, Fla., bears the name of Maj. Gen. Albert H. Blanding, born in Iowa in 1876, commander of the Thirty-first (“Dixie”) division of the A.E.F. and until his retirement in 1940, chief of the National Guard bureau of the war department. Camp Hulen near Palacios, Texas, honors Brig. Gen. John A. Hulen, who won the D.S.M. for services during the Meuse-Argonne offensive in October, 1918. Camp Wallace, near Hitchcock, Texas, honors the memory of Col. Elmer J. Wallace of South Dakota who was killed in France on Novem ber 5, 1918, at which time he was a major (temporary colonel) in thf coast artillery corps. Mood of the American Soldiers “It is a stoical determination to see the thing through. They have entered this war after reading of it for three years. They know its hor rors. In this they are unlike the men of any nation whom circum stances rushed into war, as into an unknown adventure. Our men know this war; they followed it in the press since its outbreak. They are going in, dogged and grim; theirs is a solid courage—which is the most sublime.”—Capt. E. L. Fox, in Forum magazine, January, 1918. John F. Williams Joseph P. McQuaide HERE’S TO BUTTERY FINGERS AND A TAFFY PULL (See Recipes Below.) CHILDREN’S DELIGHT If you want your children and their friends to give you a rating of “super,” then give just one par ty for children alone, and make that party a good, old-fashioned taf fy pull. Think back a moment and remember how you looked forward to a taffy pull just as much as going to a circus. This party is exciting fun because the children have a chance to help in the making of refreshments. Yes, pulling taffy with their fingers all buttered, and watching the dark candy mixture get lighter and light er each time it’s pulled. They’ll like this too, because a taffy pull isn’t a fussy party. When you send out the invitations, let the mothers know it’s a taffy party so the children will be dressed accordingly. Unlike many foods which are iron sources, molasses when coaked does not lose its iron content. If possible use a candy thermom eter to test the candy so it will be cooked just right, neither too stiff nor too messy to handle. When the candy is cool enough, cut it just the right size for small hands. The piece should be large enough to work on, but not too large. When the piece is light tan and very stiff, pull into a long strip and cut. Molasses Taffy. 2 cups pure New Orleans molasses 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon vinegar 14 teaspoon vanilla, if desired % cup water Cook the molasses, sugar and wa ter in a heavy kettle slowly until the mixture reaches 260 degrees or until a little of the mixture dropped in cold water becomes brittle. Stir a little during the latter part of the boiling to prevent burning; pour into a buttered pan. When cool enough to handle, cut in pieces and pull un til light and stiff. Butter the hands before pulling. Refreshments can be simple for a taffy party, for children will be so excited about the taffy, they won’t give their best at tention to elabo rate dishes. As sorted sand wiches will fill the bill perfectly and a hot choco late milk drink will take care of their keen, lusty appetites. As des sert you might have simple cup cakes iced with pink and chocolate icing, fruit, and of course, the taffy. If you’d rather give them a hot dish in place of the sandwiches, here’s a simple but elegant one. Millionaire Gold. (Serves 8) 2 egg yolks % cup flour % teaspoon mustard 1% teaspoons salt 1% teaspoons paprika 3 cups milk % pound American cheese 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce LYNN SAYS: Stop food wastes. Not only is this a matter of thrift but also a vital step in conserving this coun try’s resources. It is estimated that tiny food wastes total up to a tremendous amount. Wise shopping will prevent buy ing unwanted and not usable food. The wise shopper should also recognize between good and poor grades, by reading labels and markings, and by watching the scales. Poor cooking causes much waste. Meat, for instance, shrinks when cooked at too high a tem perature. Vitamins and minerals are lost when cooked too long or when air is stirred into them while cooking. Use short meth ods for cooking whenever possi ble. THIS WEEK’S MENU •Chop Suey, Rice or Noodles Bean Sprouts Apricot-Cream Cheese Salad Bran Bread Orange Chiffon Pie Tea Coffee Milk •Recipe Given 1 pound mushrooms 4 tablespoons butter 8 slices buttered toast 16 slices crisp bacon Beat egg yolks, add flour, mus tard, salt and paprika. Mix well. Add % cup milk gradually and stir until smooth. Put mixture in dou ble boiler, add rest of milk, and cheese, cubed. Cook until thick, add Worcestershire sauce. Wash, slice, and saute mushrooms, slowly. Place mushrooms on toast and pour cheese mixture over them. Garnish with bacon. Although the taffy pull will be the main event of the party be sure tc have games planned to fill out the evening. Quiz games are popular and lists for these can be made up be forehand using questions on slogans, famous personalities, historical events, interesting facts, and rid dles as questions. Children will want some lively fun too, and for this you can have a sack race. The leaders of two lines of players are given two large pa per sacks. They place the sacks on their feet and at a signal run to the opposite goal and back, take off the sack and give it to the person next to them. The object is to see which line finishes first. • • • Speaking of children, are you hav ing a time with their school lunches? Variety is the big problem foi packing a complete meal in one small box is hard to vary and does n’t have as many possibilities as the table at home. Having at least one hot food helps loads, and put this in the thermos bottle. You can have cream soups, vegetable soups, then again hot milk drinks for variety. Sandwiches are a standby, but don’t get into a rut with these. Don’t have soggy fillings. Wrap each one separately in wax paper. Favorite fillings include: Peanut butter and jelly Chopped meat mixed with may onnaise and relish Chopped hard-cooked eggs with bacon Cheese and luncheon meats Vegetabls salad sandwiches Flaked fish with celery, lettuce Chopped figs or dates, nuts, moistened with orange juice Color peps up the lunch box, so occasionally pack a salad in a pa per container. Use fresh fruits of ten, or canned ones also packed in small glass or paper containers. Cornstarch puddings are attractive and nourishing, and simple cookies wrapped in wax paper will bring cheers from any child. Economy is highlighted these days, but it needn’t be dull if you use attractively garnished platters. •Chop Suey or Chow Mein. (Serves 6) % cup butter or shortening 2% cups cooked meat, cut in strips 1% cup onions, cut fine 1 teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon pepper 1 can bean sprouts, drained 2Yi cups celery, cut fine 1 cup hot water For thickening and flavoring: % cup cold water 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar Melt butter, add onions, fry for 3 minutes. Add celery, salt, pepper, hot water, cover and cook for 5 min utes. Add bean sprouts and meat, mix and bring to a boil. Combine thickening and flavoring ingredients, add to first mixture. Cook 5 min utes. Serve hot with Chinese noo dles for Chow Mein, or with steam ing rice for Chop suey. Garnish platter with thin strips of fried egg and green onions if desired. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) YOUNG PEOPLE IN CIVILIAN DEFENSE One day of the week was spent very largely on one subject, because from nine o’clock to 12:30 we sat in Room B in the Labor auditorium and talked about participation of young people in civilian defense. The conference adjourned to the White House for lunch, and we were back at the Labor department build ing at two o’clock. We actually fin ished by four o’clock, which was the time we had scheduled to bring the conference to a close. I think this speaks well for the young people and their ability to keep their pro gram moving on time. At the meeting, there was a feel ing expressed that, through our de fense work, certain goals should be set which we should all strive to attain in the next few years. It was agreed they should not be for youth alone, but must be goals for every age and group. The entire over-all picture must be covered, though there may be certain inter ests on which youth will want to place special emphasis. Mr. Eugene Meyer came in to tea with me that day to tell me hew deeply impressed he was with the work of the women in England. He considers that their labor is not only contributing valuable service, but is creating unity throughout the British nation. There is no doubt that women have a tremendous role to play and I am looking forward to the meeting which Miss Eloise Davison will hold soon in Washing ton, when the role of women in civilian defense will be canvassed from many points of view. • • • HURRIED EVACUATIONS I have been reading some ac counts of the removal of the Jewish people from Germany to Poland and Russia. Somehow, being suddenly told that within an hour you must leave your home never to return, is very difficult for us here to visual ize. It is a leave-taking which sa vors somewhat of death. In all partings with people whom we love, there is in a minor way, that sense of temporary loss which presages the horrible finality of sep aration which comes over one at the time of death. These mass re movals, where people are treated like animals and not like human beings, are so horrible to contem plate that one can only hope that at a certain point feelings become numb and suffering ceases to be acute. / NEW YORK VISIT My daughter and son-in-law were leaving one day for the West, so we devoted last evening to being with each other. We went to a little res taurant on Sixty-third street in New York which we often frequented when they were living in New York city. After a short, but very good dinner, we went to the theater to see “The Wockey,” by Mr. Fred erick Hazlitt Brennan. It is amus ing, dramatic, well acted and very moving. To those of us who know the peo ple of the East End in London, it brought all that has happened in the past few months vividly before our eyes. Mr. Wookey did not agree with his government. It was his right to criticize and to advise, and even to write the prime minister. In spite of all his disagreement, however, when his people were real ly in danger, and his country under attack, Mr. Wookey could put up with any amount of discomfort and go forth cheerfully to almost cer tain death on the docks. That is why some of us believe that Great Britain must come out victoriously in this war. I love the scene where Mr. Wookey airs his views to a high ranking of ficer. A lump was in my throat when his home was destroyed and his wife was killed. Other people are brave, other people suffer ' in just the same way, but not even do we have that sense of complete inde pendence of expression and assur ance that makes the British feel that they know how to run the affairs of the nation far better than those who are in charge. That is a Brit- ish trait. * * • ANOTHER POSTCARD I have one postcard, which I want to share with you today. The writer seems very indignant with me be cause I said my knowledge of the Bible was superficial. I wonder how many people would dare to say otherwise. Few people can claim a real study and knowledge of that book, which is probably the most widely read book in the world and, frequently, the least understood. My correspondent seems to feel that say ing one’s knowledge is superficial means that one had little respect for the subject. As a matter of fact, it is because I have such a deep appreciation of what real knowledge the Bible im plies, that I would never presume for a minute to consider it possible for me to clairr^ anything beyond a very superficial study. On the other hand, my correspondent ends by thinking it odd that people in Wash ington can ever understand what is going on there. I should like to assure him that it is quite easy to understand what human beings con ceive and carry out in Washington . . . and I am sure most of them wish often for Divine Guidance!
