Military forces t , 9VSJ With U. S. military forces at five times their prewar strength, a record number of American Red Cross workers are serving them throughout the world. More than 2,000 Red Cross rep-resentatives today are stationed at 1,300 military installations and 123 hospitals here and overseas. About 1,400 staff workers are serving troops in this country. The others are working at occupation and de-fense posts abroad. Only during the peak years of World War II were a larger number on duty. The duties of these Red Cross' workers are as varied as the locale in which they work, involving a wide range of welfare services that contribute to military morale. They may include tiding over a soldier's wife with grocery and rent money until her family allowance check comes through, or getting a wel-fare report on an Eskimo The Red Cross man at Hickara Air Force base, Hawaii, lead a help-ing hand to a young marine, from Kwajalein to his Maine home on emergency leave, are that the Red Cross has a field worker on the spot or nearby who can help try to solve it. service- In 'this, country 361 field direc- - man's mother via weather bureau radio. Sometimes it means getting word of a family emergency to a sailor with the fleet in the Mediterranean. Service of the Red Cross worker in a military hospital may be help-ing a man through the difficult hour when he learns that he will never be well again or removing the worry that often stands in the way of his recovery. Under federal statute and regulations of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, the American Red Cross furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of the armed forces tors and their assistants cover 148 base stations, 31 substations, and 923 itinerant stations. During the last year field directors at camps handled more than 672,000 cases. Health and welfare reports re-quested by servicemen or their families were the most common type of help asked for. More than 179,000 such cases were recorded. The next most frequent type of re-quest was that involving leave or extension of leave. The Red Cross cannot grant leave, but military authorities depend upon the or-ganization for reports of conditions underlying leave requests. These cases run into many thousands each year. and acts in matters of voluntary relief and as a medium of com-munication between the people of the United States and their armed forces. In the last year Red Cross staff members handled more than li)2,-00- 0 welfare cases in military hos-pitals.

Bullet Vounds Mrs. Frank Hill On Deer Hunt A ricocheted bullet Monday after noon shattered the right leg of Mrs. Clyde Richardson Hill, only woman in a party of ten deer hun-ters, hunting in the Dog Valley area, 15 miles south of Kanosh, Millard county. The bullet smash-ed through her leg between the knee and ankle, splintering the bones. She was taken to the Fill-more hospital following the accid-ent, where the leg was amputated below the knee. Mrs. Hill and her husband, Frank Hill, Delta North Tract farmer , were with a party of hunters that included two of Mr. Hill's bro-thers, neighbors, and visitors from California. One of the party shot at a deer, and the bullet ricochet-ed from a rock ledge, and struck Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Hill had lived in Delta since her marriage last Mar., to Mr. Hill in Los Angeles. She is a veteran of World War II, serving 3 years ov- - erseas as a flight nurse witn me U. S. AAF. She had 100 combat hours tcN-h- credit, and was a captain at the time of her dis-charge. She was nursing in the Birmingham hospital in Los Ang-eles at the time of her marriage. Her condition since the accident is reported as good. There is still some shock, but her spirit was strong. She is remaining at the Fillmore hospital, where some Del-ta friends visited her Tuesday. Her sister, Miss Nancy Richard-son, arrived in Fillmore Tuesday, and will nurse her through her stay there and accompany her to Delta later. Miss Richardson is also a nurse at the Birmingham veter- - ; ; ans' hospital in Van Nuys. Both sisters were nurses in World Warr j II, Mrs. Hill in the air force and her sister in the navy. Listed in the service as Capt. Clyde Richard son, Mrs. Hill is better known to her friends here by her middle name of Hazel, Hunter Rags Mountain Lion E. D. Harris, and sons, Rex, Mark and Robert, hunted In Dry Creek this year but never got a deer. In fact they (never saw a buck, just a few does. But they did come lugging home a good-size- d mountain lion. Ted brought it down about 9 a. m. Sat urday with one shot smack in the head, at a distance of 350 yards. A lone hunter on the rocks thought he was the target, and disappeared fast behind a rock. Ted had to halloo him out to see if the lion was still kick-ing. But it had dropped, deader than a mackerel. The animal was a two-ye- old female, 6 feet 1 inch long, weigh-ing 70 pounds. At the checking station the stomach was removed to send to Salt Lake City to see what the contents analyzed. Then the Harrises came on ,to Delta with their catch, where a picture was taken that proves the story. They went out again Monday looking for deer meat, and have a bounty up on the mountain lion. Leaves Hospital After Long Stay Mark S. Johnson, Holden, Mill-ard county commissioner, was re-leased from the LDS hospital, dur-ing the past week and is now at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Max ine Anderson, in Salt Lake City. Mr. Johnson has, been hospitalized all summer, first in Spokane, and later at the LDS, following an ac-cident in Oregon in a 'bus that cost him both feet. He plans to return to Millard county as soon as possible. With the aid of artific-a-l limbs, doctors have promised him that he may walk by Christ-mas.

Nielson, Home Demonstration Agent, ven-ison is among the most highly priz ed of all wild game. If properly dressed and cared for in the woods by the hunter, it is free from ob-jectionable and game fla vors. Unpleasant experiences with venison on the table are usually due to lack of care before it rea-ches the kitchen. However, good cooking is important in making venison appetizing - - and it can be as good as the best meat from the butcher. It should not be necessary to make any attempt to conceal the flavor of venison. The character-istic flavor seems to be concen-trated in the fat and if strong, trim ming away excess fat will help. However, venison is a rather dry meat and is improved by addit-ion of suet, butter or other fat heat method - -- roasting, when using dry broiling and frying. The standard methods of meat cook-ing for beef and lamb are most successful for venison. Even tho' you do get a deer that is tough or has a strong flavor, there are ways of preparing it for the table that will make it palatable and appetizing. .When cooking tough cuts of venison Mrs. Nielson sug-gests the use of bacon, vegetables and fruit juices to impart a differ-ent flavor. Spices such as bay leaf thyme, garlic, savory may be ad-ded to suit your tastse. The two general methods of cook-ing meat are dry heat for tender cuts and moist heat for less tend-er cuts. Meat recipes are all vari-ations of one method or the other. There are any number of variat-ions and seasonings that can be used o meet the individual tastes. The dry heat methods may be used on the tender cuts such as loin, round, steaks and chops - -- the less tender cuts are - - the shoulder, neck, breast and shank. Here's a dry heat metnoa ior tender cuts. ROASTING ( round, loin, shoulder ) 1. Season with salt and pepper. 2. Place on rack in uncovered pan fat side up. 3. Do not add water - - do not cover. 4. Extra fat may be added to venison. Bacon strips or beef suet may be laid across the top. 5 Roast in slow oven (300 to 350 F.), allowing 20 to 25 min ' utes per pound. Turning the roast aids uniform cooking. Moist heat methods for less ten- - der cuts. BRAISING ( shoulder, neck, and breast ) 1. Season with Salt and pepper, rub with flour. 2. Brown on all sides in hot fat. 3 Add a small quanitity of wat-er (about one cup). 4. Cover closely. 5. Cook very slowly until tender. Turn the meat occasionally. Time usually two to three hrs. MINCEMEAT (Any ground venison) 2 pounds cooked venison, chop-ped in food grinder. 4 pounds chopped apple 2 pounds raisins 4 cups either brown or white sug-ar pound chopped suet or butter teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon mace y. teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons salt iy. teaspoon cinnamon Add cider to cover mixture. If i cider is not available, use fruit juices or water with cup vine-gar Sweet fruit juices reduce the amount of sugar required. Cook very slowly until the fruits are tender (about 1 hour). This will keep indefinitely if put in fruit jars. y,;:o'S vno? ? , t fc i - i ' - ' ; i , i !' " " y . v ' v.

Automobile Dealers Plan "Know Your Dealer Week" Automobile dealers in this area will join dealers throughout, the nation in observance of "Know Your Automobile Dealer Week", Oct 31 to Nov. 5, according to Heber Curtis of Delta, area chair-man of Know Your Automobile Dealer Week, who made the fol-lowing statement: "Open houses are planned at all franchised new car dealers in this area every day during the weeK, with the public cordially invited to stop in. The automobile dealers are proud of both the great contrib utions which our industry is mak-ing to our communities and of our new models, attractive show-room- s modern facilities, equipment, parts and accessories that assure local car and truck owners of the best our industry offers in both pro -- ducts and service. We also realize that we can prosper only as our communities and trade area we serve grow and prosper and we want our fellow citizens to know that we apprec-iate their patronage and shall con-tinually strive to merit their good will and to be of service to our communities. That's the primary purpose of this program - -- . to make the residents of our trade area even better acquainted with their retail automobile dealers and the services they offer. I think everyone is interested in automobiles, especially the new models and the better used cars that their dealers are offering to-H-nnw that nroduction of new cars this year is breaking all re-cords. That's why we want to ex-tend a cordial invitation to every-one to inspect these new models and special values both in better used cars and service which we will offer to help make our big week a special one for everyone. Few persons realize the many contributions which the automot-ive industry - - passenger cars and trucks alike - - have made in the past to this area. United Slates is a nation on wheels with nearly one automobile for every family, enough cars, in fact, so that every one could go riding at one time. The fire engines, ambulances, pol-ice cars, physicians' cars, and ser-vice trucks are taken as a matter of course today. Every community is dependent to a large extent upon automobiles and trucks and more than 54,000 communities in this country are dependent solely upon the automobile for transpor-tation."
