‘Indianhead Patch ’Division
Is Prepared to Battle Again
By HAL BOYLE
New York—(iP)—The guy who
wears a badge that looks like the
other side of a buffalo nickel is
going overseas again—ready to
fight for America.
He’s done it before, he’s ready
now, and he’ll do it anytime he’s
called on.
Who is he? He’s the guy with
the Indianhead patch on his should
er—the GI Joes who have worn
this emblem of the Second Infan
try Division proudly and with
great combat success in two world
wars.
It’s a famous division. Everyone
in the Army knows it—and knows
its record. It has been alerted at
its Fort Lewis, Wash., base to get
ready to go to the Far East.
Warm Memories
And this news today must send
a thrill of warm memory through
tens of thousands of Americans
of two generations. Some who
served with the Second Infantry at
the Argonne in 1918 had sons who
went with it from the hedgerows
of Normandy to the river Elbe be
tween 1944 and 1945.
I don’t know who posed for the
profile Indian view of their em
blem—Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse,
Geronimo, or a tired old buck from
a dreary reservation in upper New
York State.
But this I know about the Second
Infantry Division from a long ac
quaintance—a year in wartime
equals a lifetime of peace, and
just a bit more—and that is this:
The wearers of the Indianhead
patch are an emergency outfit.
Like their shoulder-to-shoulder
comrades in Europe, the equally
famous "Fighting First” Infantry
Division, they are an old-line regu
lar Army outfit. On their perform
ance depends the professional re
putation of the professional Amer
ican Army.
Will Deliver
They are used to delivering in
emergencies. They have a pride of
arms, a tradition of performance
in battle, a morale in being, that
measure our military strength as
a nation.
It is true that they may be sent
to the Pacific area as occupation
troops in Japan to replace the 24th
Infantry Division units summoned
already to Korea. That could be
temporary or permanent, as the
needs of the situation develop. But
I am sure that General MacArthur
will be less lonely to have them
under command. For the tradition
that this unit has is what top
commanders like to rely on—when
the cards are down, the die is
cast.
They want to have under them
a division that has proved itself
before in battle. Wouldn’t you, if
you were going to boss a big
fight ?
Only 82 of the present 15,000
men in the division marched with
it through France and Germany.
But they are a hard solid core of
trained men to pass on to the
youngsters the Second Division’s
tradition of standing firm in time
of trouble.
Word From the Wise
If they do meet the test again,
I can imagine a veteran sergeant
telling a boy swept by his first
fear of death:
“You think it’s tough now, kid?
Just about five years and eight
months ago we were parked near
the German-Belgian border. We
looked out on a snowy December
Day and damned if it didn’t seem
like they were throwing the whole
Nazi Army against us.
“We were on the northern should
er helping protect Leige, our big
supply dump. And if they’d got
through us the war would have
gone on some longer. They hit us
with every damned thing they
could think of—tanks, and artil
lery and infantry and even spies
wearing our uniforms and riding
in captured American jeeps. You
couldn’t even tell a buddy from an
enemy—for sure.
“But we held them. They didn’t
get through.” Hell, we knocked
out German tanks by setting fire to
gasoline cans and dropping ’em
on them from command headquar
ters.

Place in Anderson Home
By BETTY POTTER
If you have ever been to a party
at the Anderson home, then I
won’t have to tell you why Mrs.
Frank Anderson wins the undis
puted title “one of the best” cooks.
Mi's. Anderson is also a per
fect hostess of the Old South var

acteristics for which southern hos
pitality is famous: personal charm,
vivacious personality, and friendly
disposition.
Mrs. Anderson is the wife of
Coach Frank Anderson, coach of
the Aggie track team. She is also
the mother of two sons, Rusty and
Wally. These are three good rea
sons why Mrs. Anderson is the
good cook and hostess she is noted
to be.
Inherited Ability
Mrs. Anderson inherited her
ability from her mother who has
a similar reputation as a good cook
and hostess in Tennessee. She has
consented to pass several of the
family heirlooms on to you.
Chicken-a-la-King was the re
cipe for which her mother was

famous. She wanted it to be a per
fect dish; consequently she had a
strict ritual to follow to make it
perfect. Here it is:
•
Boil one young chicken until it
it tender. Take it Put of the
chicken liquor and cut in pieces
as for salad.
Into liquid put a cup of rich
fresh cream. (Fresh because it
comes from her mother’s own
cow “Brass.”)
Thicken with a little flour. Add
one large can of mushrooms.
Cut in quarters, add one small
can of French peas and one small
can of pimentoes cut- very fine.
Lastly the chicken. Season to
taste with salt and white peper.
“What little mixing is done, do
it with a silver fork,” Mrs. An
derson’s mother recommends.
Chicken-a-la-King
The chicken-a-la-King may eith
er be served in patties on pastry
shells or in a noodle ring.
The noodle ring is made with:
1 package of noodles
3 eggs
1 cup of milk
dash of salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of katsup
1 cup of grated Cheddar cheese
'/z tablespoon of Worcestershire
Sauce
Cook the noodles and drain. Beat
the eggs well, combining them with
other ingredients. Add this mixture
to noodles and pour into buttered
ring mold. Set this in a pan of hot
Second Series

water and bake in a moderate
oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Unmold carefully onto a large
platter and fill with chicken-a-la-
king.
Another old Tennessee recipe
which has been in Coach Ander- .
son’s family for ' a long time is *
this recipe for Chess pie:
1 (4 cups sugar
3 egg youlks (when made with
meringue)
or 2 yolks and one egg (when '
made without meringue
1/2 cup of butter
J4 cup of milk
2 level tablespoons of flour
'/z teaspoons of pue vanilla
pinch of salt
Pour into unbaked pastry and
bake it slowly. The meringue is
made by adding two tablespoons of
sugar to each egg white.
Chess Pie
This Chess pie is also called
Jeff Davis Pie and is served at
all the gala occasions in the An
derson home.
The favorite for Tranksgiving,
Christmas, and any other special
occasion at Mrs. Anderson’s home
is a plum pudding. It was the
family tradition to trot down the ,
stairs on Christmas morning and
stir a wish into a plum pudding.
This wish assured them of a good
year.
The pudding was then put into a
somestic bag. This was made into
a ball shape, and the pudding was
boiled in the bag. It was hung on
a particular nail in the butler’s *
pantry where it dripped until the
late dinner hour.
The plum pudding was put in a
platter and alcohol poured over it
and set ablaze. Balanced almonds
sprinkled over the pudding pre
sented a porcupine effect.
Ambrosio Ends Feast
The finished product was brought
to the table in a blue flaming
blaze. This was not the grand
finale, however, this was the first
dessert. Ambrosia always ended
any feast in Mrs. Anderson’s home.
They made it with orange slices,
fresh cocoanut, pineapple, ami
bananas.
Ambrosia is a big favorite with
the Coach and the boys these hoi
summer days. It is hard to pick a
favorite because everything is s«
good when Mrs. Anderson is ou
kitchen duty. £
With her inherited cooking tal
ent, Mrs. Anderson keeps busy
carrying on the family traditions.
