Ma's fried chicken dinner cooked
in the old fashioned way enabled
eleven Bluffton district residents to
revel at a table groaning under the
Weight of tasty food down at Camp
Hulen, near Palacios, Texas, last
week.
Not that army food is bad but
ever since Eddie Rice and Gideon
Steiner of Bluffton and George
Scholfield of Lafayette had been in
the Texas camp they had longed for
some of the home cooking to which
they had been accustomed around
here.
Pvt. George Scholfield, brother of
Mrs. Karl Gable of this place, al
ways ended his letters to his mother,
Mrs. Charles Scholfield of Lafayette
on the same note:
“If only I could have one of your
home cooked meals, Mom, I'd give
anything.”
Last week Mom came to Palacios
for a visit with George accompanied
by George’s wife Jeanne, who lives
in Lima. On Sunday they had what
Ma Scholfield says was a lovely din
ner in the mess hall of George’s
battery.
But when it was all over George
still had his heart set on his moth
er’s home cooked meal. His mother
being of a practical nature knew
that staying in a single room near
an army camp is not like living on
R. F. D. No. 2, Lafayette, where
you walk out into the coop and se
lect your own chickens, gather eggs
and go into the kitchen and cook
while the young folks set the dining
room table.
She told her son that it was im
possible but the wife of one of the
Mt Cory
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Reiter and fam
ily, Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Fritz and dau
ghter Martha were Sunday dinner
guests of Mr and Mrs. Robert Non
namaker and daughters.
Mrs. John Cuppies and son Lynn
motored to Missouri over the week
end.
Ruth Ghaster has accepted a posi

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Kramer spent
Tuesday in Findlay and called on Mrs.
Addie Kraft and Paul Bauman home.
Russell Keel of West Jefferson
spent one night last week with his
mother, Mrs. Sadie Keel and Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Henning and daughter
Mary Lou.
Mr. and Mrs. Osborn McKitrick and

other men in the battery overheard
the conversation and told them that
the USO facilities were available for
just such family activities.
So Mrs. Scholfield hied herself to
the USO club where she put the
question to the management who
gave her the go sign.
In the meantime Miss Ethelyn
Oyer of Bluffton had arrived to
visit with Pvt. Rice and the several
other Bluffton district residents in
or near the camp were invited to
the sumptuous feast.
The table had just been bedecked
with flowers Avhen the guests ap
peared. Besides the hostess there
were George and his wife Jeanne,
Private and Mrs. Gideon Steiner,
Private Edwin Rice and Miss Oyer
of Bluffton Private and Mrs. Her
man LaRue of Lafayette Private
Spitler of Findlay Miss Mildred
Showalter of Lima, and several
other friends from other parts of the
country.
And what a feast it was. Mrs.
Scholfield had prepared four fried
chickens, mashed potatoes and gravy,
candied sweet potatoes, macaroni
salad, pickles, olives, celery, lettuce
salad, iced tea, heavenly hash and
vanilla wafers. Hot rolls, too, of
course.
Just to give you an idea of how
Mrs. Scholfield prepares dishes, let
it be noted that heavenly hash is
made of marshmallows crushed pine
apple, English walnuts and whipped
cream.
As the soldiers and guests depart
ed they all agreed that the food cer
tainly hit the mark and that calling
it a marvelous dinner was a gross
understatement.
