cl Angler Treuts Bvddies

WILMINGTON, Del. - (P) -
Pfc. Reginald Freeman, of New
ark, N. j.. a veteran of seven years
service, has MADE an old-fashiOned
fish fry weekly habit for fortu-
nate men of his unit at the Aber-
deen Proving Ground.
An ardent angler, he fishes
about three times a week in post
waters as relaxation from his du-
ties as chief of the outgoing record
section of the Proving Ground Sep
aration Center. Two months ago he
decided to treat his buddies rather
than throwing back most of the
fish he caught.
ScrOunging around, he procured
an old electric stove and a, skillet.
His fame as cook spread and the
fish fries now are a weekly insti-
tuition.
'The secret, l guess, is in the
spices l use" says Freeman.
Some natives on Okinawa gave me
some rare spices when left and
/ use them in small amounts. /
also fry in pure bacon grease for
a sort of cOunter-flavOr."
