S«, MILNER R DIXON HONORED
Sgt. Milner R. Dixon of Vien
na, Ga., half-brother of Lum
Dixon, recently has been award
ed the Army Silver Star for gal
lantry in action. He is a member
of the 25th Infantry Division
which has been in combat in Ko
rea since early in July.
• An account of the terrific tank
assault in which Sgt. Dixon’s
bravery won him the coveted a
ward appeared in t h e Tokyo
Stars and Stripes and was sent
to his home town paper from Ja
pan. It stated how Sgt. Dixon’s
rocket launcher position was un
der fire from three enemy tanks
for 30 minutes; then at range of
200 yards the lead tank started
heavy machine gun fire Though
he had but one round of rocket
ammunition left, Dixon rose up
in the face of the concentrated
fire, fired the round and hit the
tank turret, putting it out of ac
tion. The account was written by
Tom Lambert, famous war cor
respondent.
Later Dixon was wounded in
action and was the first Dooly
county casualty; but since then
his brother had a letter saying he
had recovered and was return
ing to combat.

Whether your Hallowe’en party
guests are in the pigtail group,
the teen-age group, the high
school set, or the good old grown
up neighborhood crowd, they will
like a special cake for refresh
ments. Shiny red apples, nuts and
raisins—for decoration and eat
ing’, too —and beverages according
to age and taste which might be
milk, coffee, bottled drinks or
punch, will co-star appropriately
with the cake and make everybody
happy.
You can be sure of a downy
light cake that grown-ups as well
as children will eat to the last
crumb if you make it of superfine
cake flour. And if you frost it with
chocolate and decorate it with
marshmallow Hallowe’en faces.
