THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1942 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.

Mrs. Richard Fillwock and daught er Sandra Kay returned to their home “Ma’s” Cookin’ Better Than Army’s Proved To Bluffton Area People At Texas Camp -FREE- GENUINE LEATHER—TWO POCKET CCIN PURSE 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. in Warren accompanied by Mrs. Peal Jordan and daughter Thelma and Mrs. John White.
