BY JAMES CULLNANE
NEA Service Staff Writer

On the sandy beaches Of his
toric Martha's Vineyard Island,
famous Massachusetts, summer
resort, the Army's tough t
troops learned the tactics of
whirlwind invasion that put
ashore the tremendous sea-borne
u. S. expeditionary force on the
French African coast.
Less than six weeks ago salty
seagoing amphibious infantry
men, amphibian engineers and
parachute troops who spearhead-
ed the African invasion, wound
up their training with extensive
war games in Vineyard Sound.
ENGINEERS ARE CREW
The amphibian engineers,
commanded by Col. Daniel Noce,
form the crews of the armor-
clad assault boats from which
amphibious infantrymen rae e
ashore.
The amphibious infantrymen
are specially trained doughboys,
whose task is to drive inland
and make the beach-heads safe
for landing of regular combat
units.
The amphibious infantrymen
and amphibian engineers are a
new "baby" command in the
Army, which historically has
left ship-to-shore invasion ma
neuvers to the Navy and Marine
Corps.
Rigid censorship covered the
training of the amphibious and
amphibian troops Eat Camp Ed
wards. Massachusetts,, this sum-
mer. The War Department still
refuses to discuss operations OF
its blue-water soldiers, pointing
out that whatever the enemy
learns of their tactics 1t will
have to learn in battle.
THEY LANDED ANYWAY
One of the most dramatic
hiRhlights of the African inva-
sion attested to the soundness of
the seamanship Of the amphib-
ian engineers. When q U. S.
transport was torpedoed 120
miles offshore, the engineers
launched their shallow draft as
sault boats and Dieseled on to
the war, delivering the assault
troops and their equipment.
The engineer corps launched
an intensive recruiting campaign
this summer to enroll fishermen,
yachtsmen, deep-sea sailors and
other marine specialists in the

Few Woys to
Stretch Your Sugar
For Coming

Add small amount of sugar to
the fruits own juices, instead of
making the usual sugar syrup.
Fruits naturally contain a great deal
of water, and you can make best use
of your sugar by sweetening this
fruit juice rather than by adding
more water in the form of a syrup.
Heat the slightly sweetened fruit
carefully in saucepan. This draws
out the juices, shrinks the fruit, and
drives out the air, making it posi-
bic to pack generous amounts of
fruit in each jar. There should be
enough juice to cover the fruit COM
pletely.
Honey may be used to replace
up to one-half the sugar called for
IN canning and corn syrup up to
one-third
Fruit juices may be bottled or
put up in jars with little or no
sugar When sweet and tart juices
are mixed together, no sugar is
needed. Fruit for juice is processed
at simmering rather than at boiling
temperatures to keep the natural
fruit flavors-Reprinted from Gov
eminent Bulletin.

Rip-Sow Editor,
Brother of Libby
Mon, Passes

The Sunday papers carried an
Associated Press dispatch from Ros-
allie, Neb.. telling of the sudden
death of James w. Brink, editor of
a unique newspaper, the Rip-Saw.
Editor Brink was a brother of II.
E. Brink of Libby. and he and his
family had visited here at various
times. The A. p. item said, under
the heading, "Rip-Saw Editor Pens
last Barb"
ROSALIE, NEB., July 25-Fun-
eral services were held today for
James w. Brink. 81, picturesque
publisher of weekly newspaper he
named the Rip-Saw because he in
tended to rip into anybody who
needed ripping into"
He was widely known as "the old
egg" gained from the column he
wrote under the title, Cracks From
on Old Egg"
Brink, who founded his paper in
this little northeast Nebraska town
IS years ago, was one of the last .ex-
ponents of personal journalism in
the state.
A crusader in his earlier days, he
mellowed with the years. But his
paper never lacked interest due to
his own breezy style of reporting.
For example.
1.-The village mayor and the vii
lage marshall got into a jangle
Thursday evening, and after call
ing each other a few names it would
caarn that tho marshall cnaackad the
mayor in the kisser and the mayor
canned, or fired, the marshall.
after diligently perusing the
village code, we find the mayor can
hire or fire the marshall, but no
place in said code can we find where
a marshall has the right to knock
the mayor into a cooked hat. It
just beats business how hell keeps
up in Resale"
He collapsed and died just after
running an edition of the Rip-SaW
off the press.

A small army of 500 men were
bravely fighting forest fires in Lin
coun County in four separate places.
Although the timber loss was rela-
lively small, there was the utmost
danger everywhere that the fires
might assume the proportions of
real conflagrations. The situation
all over the district was becoming
very serious. Supervisor Glenn A.
Smith stated that four big fires
were being fought by his forces in
the Kootenai forests. None of the
four were under control, but with
no disastrous winds, there was hope
that all of them might be curbed.
The most serious fire was in the
Yak country, where an estimated
1000 acres had been burned over
and the fire had Is mile front.
