DIXON . ; . ON THE ITALIAN FRONT, Dec. 19-(Delayed)-(flVSUff Sgt. Strawberry Shook sets such a fine table that he and his crew get kidnapped every now and then and they see stars all the time.;- :,-':-it. v:.;:r''-v.;v;;:.;v. . "Go down and have a cup of coffee, sir, says Strawberry when a stranger trudges through the mud up to his field kitchen hidden In the trees on a hillside next to an officers mess tent. More cheering; hospitable words were never spoken. ; ,V r-J That's one f the ; secrets of Bless Sgt. Snook's success. He always keeps' a pot of het cof fee, i ?7 :-. f - ' ;;; '- ; "It takes a little figuring," he said, "And you can't throw cof fee away like some guys . do. Sometimes the officers are drink ing" re-heated coffee even at meal time, but the way I look at it they'd rather drink that than no coffee at all. In this way, when they come in cold from up along the line there's always a cup of hot coffee waiting. They know that all along the front. They also know that Strawberry always serves some kind of pie at 'meal time and that he stays away from stew and hash as much as possible, but word gets around and you never sit down at Strawberry's table without see ing a few stars scattered here and there. Generals, like good food too. One day I had 1 stars at the table,' said Strawberry. That was when Gen. Arnold and Gen. Spaats and that bunch came through with Gen. Clark and , f coarse that would be the only ; day la about a week that I had, to serve canned luncheon meats at noon, but the generals didn't seem to mind." They had custard pie that day and some kind of tasty salad. Be sides, you seldom hear any seri ous griping at Strawberry's table, for even the most unpopular GI food somehow looks fairly at tractive. It's all done with GI ingredients, but the difference lies In the red haired 26-year-old cigar-smoking Strawberry himself, whose real name is E. H. Shook. He is from Waco, Texas, and used to cook for the Veterans administration. Certain low characters among his wise-cracking customers Insist that only an error in accepted military routine could have turned a professional cook in pri vate life into an army mess ser geant but Strawberry --merely grins his one-sided grin and says experience Is what does the trick. I"' Ton can make chocolate and , ' custard and fruit pies and sev " eral kinds of cakes eat of army , : issue stiff If yea know . how," he said. You stay "away from -- stew and hash, as much as yen . "can, . -;v:v".:v:--r - He was grinding meat as he spoke. It was the kind of meat that would- have wound up in a stew at most messes because it certainly wasn't choice cut stock, but Strawberry was grinding it up, mixing in a little seasoning and it showed up at lunch as "Sal isbury steak" hamburgers to you. . ." "Not the best hamburger in the world, said Strawberry, fBut if I served it as stew these guys would gripe and holler, but they'd eat it as hamburger and talk about how good it is. f The mess officer is Lt. Aniello F. Destefano of Belmont, Mass, but he promptly denied any re sponsibility for the quality of the chow except that he had a hand in kidnaping Strawberry and his crew from the special outfit for which they were cooking. Like wise, Strawberry passed the buck on to his crew, which he claims is the best in the army, so maybe it would be a good idea to meet them. They are headed by Sgt. E. James Davis of Sweetwater, Tex as, and Gerald Clements of West, Texas, chief cooks; Corp. Samuel Blais Now in Army . Friends Learn SILVERTON L o c a 1 friends learned during the holiday season that Merlin Blais,' former Port land newspaper man' who made a twice-weekly call at Silverton un til the past year, has been in ducted Into the army. Mrs. Blais and their two children will be at Chehalls, with her mother for the duration. Riches Visits Family Home in Silverton SILVERTON Frank A. Riches of Buena, Wash., spent the double holiday at Silverton with his sis ters and brothers, Robert and Theodore Riches and Miss Win ifred and Miss Lois Riches. Rich es, who Is a prominent cattle man of eastern Washington wQl attend a convention at Denver early In the new year. This was his first trip , to Silverton since his father died a year ago. M. Benton of Charleston. SC, and Riley S. Walters of Brecken ridge, Texas, second cooks. It may be' that one of the rea sons their chow is considered the best along the front Is that they are the regular kitchen detail. They do it as a steady job and not for punishment or occasional de tail. They don't mind. They're sort of proud of their reputation and, after all, they get to eat their own cooking, too.
