A Valley Forge Party

IEEPING up the family morale
IL is an important matter; and
nothing helps more than a good
party. A Valley Forge Party for
Washington's Birthday would help
every guest to Get More Out of
Life"
Write the invitations like this,
on brown paper: Israel Putnam,
Tor whatever character is to be
represented) you are to appear at
Valley Forge. address follows.)
Be prepared to tell your own story"
Make the house look as much
like camp as possible. Provide
no chairs, except camp stools, and
no bright lights. Shade the electric
bulbs with brown paper shaped
like lanterns. On the tables and
mantel put miniature tents with an
American flag On each.
You might begin with a flag
guessing contest. The dictionary
will supply designs Of flags of many
lands, as well as various types Of
American flags. For the winner, a
set of American stamps might be
the prize.
Next, let the Heroes" tell their
own stories, without mentioning
their names. The guests, supplied
with pencil and paper write down
the names. A book about American
heroes makes good prize.
For refreshments, the patriots
repair to the dining room, where
the table is set with tin plates,
kitchen forks and tin cups, like an
early American camp kitchen.

The foods listed in the menu
above were staples in Colonial days.
Beans were easy to raise and easy
to cook. Apples were practically the
only fruit to be had in the winter;
and coffee was a priced luxury and
treat that was to be expected
at real" party. An ancient inven-
tory of list of supplies ordered by
wealthy gentleman of those early
days disclosed, among other deli
cacies, "six pounds of Coffee" Quite
different from to-day, when the
Good Neighbor Republics of Latin
America are raising and shipping
coffee to the United States in great
abundance and of fine quality, so
that everyone,-richo or not-so-rich
can enjoy this delicious, stimulat-
ing beverage.

Fish EJletS, a Find for Broiling

COMEONE has said, Fish do not
~ swim in the ocean just to be
eaten on Friday" Quite the con-
trary, almost any day in the week,
either fresh or frozen fish can pro-
vide an excellent answer to the
"main dish" problem.
Fillets of halibut, haddock, or
white fish are good buys in these
defense days when all of us are
making the h III S h o Id budget
money go just as far as it can.
Fillets are homeless and consist of
the meaty slices Of the fish cut
lengthwise from the backbone and
they are usually about 5s to / inch
thick. One of the very easiest
ways to prepare them is to marin
ate them in French dressing for
Is minutes and then broil. If your
broiler is a part of a modern cleo
trio range, it will without doubt
be large enough to broil another
item with the fish-such as stuffed
potatoes.
), AS broiling is carried out in the
modern electric range, it is much
easier, more certain procedure than
that of not so many years ago.
The discomfort which formerly ac-
companied such cooking proce-
dure has now been eliminated by
the construction of broiler pans
and racks which help to do away
with the overheating, spattering
and smoking of the drippings. Broil-
units of electric ranges provide a
radiant heat, one which is compar'
able to a bed of glowing charcoal
Here are the directions for broil

After the debacle Stefan escaped through
Rumania and made his way to England.
Today he is a Commando. Vengeance is his
spur.
Then there is the young Norwegian who,
inflamed by Nazi treachery, took down his
hunting rifle and sniped at the invaders. He
ambushed them in the mountains; he tracked
them down and killed them in their sleep.
Then, before the net could close upon him,
he escaped in small sailboat and steered for
England. Now he wears the black uniform
and warns himself with the thought that
tonight, somewhere on the Dutch coast, more
Nazis will feel his hate.

Almost overnight, one of the most efficient

Back at base camp, his education is rounded
out. A skilled engineer teaches him the art of
sabotage - how to calculate explosive charg
es, and where to place them to blow up
bridges, munitions dumps. docks. He is taught
how to cross barbed wire and mine fields.
how to spike cannon and destroy tanks.
Next, he is placed under the tutelage of the
Royal Navy, whose experts teach him the
science of amphibious warfare, the use of
small craft and the operation Of the two

the Axis guessing, never to let them know

Commands pull off deed of such magnitude

INVASION. That's their aim - nr
dropped onto the roof of his cottage outside
Coventry.
There are even Gurkhas, those short, wiry
fighters from the Himalayan uplands of
Nepal, who fight for the sheer love of combat
- are bred to it.
They come from all walks of life, many
nations, many races. Yet they are one, for,
whatever their origin. regardless of each mans
background, they all possess those peculiar
mental, physical and moral qualities that
make feats of suicidal daring possible. They
are the Commands.
The cunning and stealth of an Indian, the
physical agility Of an acrobat, the mechanical
efficiency Of an engineer, the ability to absorb
terrific physical punishment and still be able
to bounce back - those are but few of the
qualities that must be drilled into man
before he can become Commando fighter.
He may come from any branch of the armed
forces; infantry, artillery, the Royal Navy
or one of the others. The fact that he is
chosen for Commando training indicates that
he already possesses outstanding physical
and mental characteristics. Once accepted.
he is sent to the secret training base on the
coast of western Scotland.
Here his physical endurance is built up by
long cross-country runs in full equipment and
by forced marches through wild, broken coun-
try. Then he is assigned to small group of
trainees and placed in the hands of special
instructors Experts in the art of jiujitsu
patiently show the recruit how to overcome
opponents silently and expeditiously - some
day he will need this knowledge to strike
down an enemy sentry.
Herculsan Test
INLAND from the loch, on whose shore the
base is situated, is tangle of wild country
-craggy hills forests. Here, he receives the
next portion of his training. Up and down
mountains he goes, under the guidance of
famous Apinist until he knows all of the
tricks of mountain climbing, even how to
scale bare rock faces at night Then leather
skinned hunter takes him into the forest and
teaches him its lore How to move swiftly
and silently through wooded country; how to
cover his tracks; how to find shelter; how to
build smokeless fires. He learns the use of the
compass, how to read maps and aerial photo
graphs and how to guide himself by the stars.
Then he receives his first real test. He is
given map, a compass and bare minimum
of food and water. He is shown point IN the
map and told he must reach that point within
a specified time. He must wade through
strange swamps, traverse forests, swim icy
streams without wetting his rifle and scale
crags in the black of night. The distances are
too long and the time too short; he is tired,
hungry and thirsty, but he makes it.

Late john Willis of Glasgow
Was Pal of Teddy Roosevelt

John Willis, who died at Glasgow
some time ago. will go down in history
as famous Montana mountain guide
and close friend of Theodore Roose-
welt.
Willis was plying his trade as g
guide for hunting parties over in the
Thompson Falls district of western
Montana, when one day he received 8
letter from Roosevelt in New York
city.
The writer inquired: IF I come
west and go hunting with you do you
think I could kill a wild goat? Willis
wrote on the back of Teddy's letter
IF you can't shoot any better than
you can write, don't think So
Willis mailed this back and it is
said that this letter is in the Roose-
welt memorial hall in New York city.
A few days later, Willis received a
telegram from New York, stating:
Consider yourself engaged; will ar
rive July 30" Roosevelt stepped from
the train at Thompson Falls on this
date dressed in his hunting clothes.
With him was his ranch foreman,
Mortified.
After some time spent climbing
around the mountains Willis spotted
a mountain goat high up on a noun
tainside.
After considerable maneuvering
around, they got within rifle range
but Teddy was in an awkward posi-
ton and only crippled his game. Away
went the goat, with the guide and
Roosevelt after him.
In the excitement Teddy Slipped on
some shale and plunged headlong with
his rifle in his hand over the edge Of
a cliff and landed some so feet below
in the top of pine tree, unhurt save
for a few scratches.
They did not get the animal that
day. Teddy told Willis that night that
he would give him 500 if they killed
the goat the following day. Teddy got
the goat but Willis refused the cash.
At Thompson Falls, Roosevelt and
Merritield slept and ate at the home
of Willis as his guest. When Roose-
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-08-14

welt was leaving for the east, and with
one foot on the car step just as his
train was pulling out, he slipped 500
into Willis hand. This turn Of events
did not satisfy Willis and he sent q
letter to Roosevelt asking him where
he could return the money to him.
Roosevelt replied: Don't be a
fool, John. A magazine has Just given
me 5000 for writing a story about
our trip"
History relates that Willis was the
guest of Theodore Roosevelt on sew
eral occasions.
At one time people living on the
Milk river project were getting tired
of the SLOW progress being made,
claiming that most of the time and
money were being spent in nothing
but surveys. The Milk river valley
citizens decided to send Willis to
Washington to interview the president
and see what could be done to hurry
things along, so to the capitol Willis
went, at the head of a delegation
from the Glasgow district.
The president greeted his old friend
and guide in typical western style and
had Willis and his wife dine at the
White House
Willis ran away from his home in
Missouri when but a lad Of Is years.
He was the son of Captain Willis of
Prices army of the south. He left
home without money or food and on
his first night out he came onto a
campfire and found himself facing
guns in the hands of the James and
Younger brothers, famous Missouri
bandits.
After the outlaws were satisfied that
the boy did not mean any harm, they
gave him money and food and after
nights rest sent him on his way west.
