The society reporter of one of the most respected and authori- tative English newspapers, re- porting on the great reception and garden party given at Buck- ingham Palace in honor of the American Bar Association, ex- plained an unusual develop- ment In the.following words: "In addition to the normal Palace garden . party menu, 'hot dogs' and 'wimpeys' — slices of !fresh meat sausages seasoned with tomato ketchup and French mustard and placed . in circular sweet buns— were served." If i we rush in where Angles endSaxons usually fear to tread ft is only because the paragraph, having behind it such a weight of authority, if uncorrected would almost certainly give those who have not themselves !net hot dogs and hamburgers a rather false impression of them hold might even set society at adds against itself. It simply will not do if the Impression is allowed to gain ground in one section of the community that American food consists of slices of fresh meat sausages seasoned with tomato ketchup and French mustard and placed in circular sweet buns and called either "hot dogs" or "wimpeys." For it was a delightful gesture to serve American snacks at the garden party. It was all that was needed to naturalize both the hot dog and the hamburger Giver here officially. And our agent at the Palace reception re- ports that the snacks served so hospitably to 5,000 members of the Bar Association and their wives were, in his judgement, both quite traditional and cor- rect, except that they were suit- ably scaled down in size. On social occasions in Eng- land when, for instance, sand- wiches are served, the sand- wiches are properly made of delicate slices of bread and are cut to an area of two or three square inches. One does not serve doorsteps nine square inches in surface area. And so en this occasion a nice English compromise was made and the hot dogs werewhat you might tall "petits chiens," like petits.. fours, whole sausages in minia- ture between small rolls. The wimpeys were "bebeburgers" Perhaps Britain has made a con- tribution thereby to the Atlan- tic way of life and may expand for Americans their own rather static concept of hot dogs and hamburgers. This concept, however, in its awn way and its own turn is already making a contribution the aritish way of life. Personally I am not yet much et a hot-dog man — I still winch ' alightly when I see them sell- ing hot dogs almost secretly round the corner behind the -.-_.0 Mound stand at Lord's Cricket Ground — but hamburgers now are a different thing altogether. They are bringing to Britain not only a useful addition to the luncheon menu but a trans- Atlantic aura of neatness and efficiency. The hamburger, for instance, has literally transformed a cor- ner of Waterloo railroad station. There used to be at Waterloo a small circular buffet, known to some of us as the' Buffet of Outrageous Fortune. I remem- ber it for its dull and foggy — almost rainy — air and its lack- luster Bath buns. The custom- ers gave the impression not of waiting eagerly for trains but of /laving all just missed them, wrltes John Allan May in The Christian Science Monitor. It belongs to the past. It is gone.. It is forgotten. For one day to Waterloo there came the "wimpey." Quite suddenly one EUROPEAN UNiTY Each mem; ber nation of the European coal and steel community is issuing a postage stamp based on the theme of "United Europe, Its contribution to peace as a. source of prosperity." The Netherlands stamp is pictured above, with its six -pointed star in the shape of a blade wheel symbolizing the activities of member countries. The word "Europa" is spelled out at the points of the star. The em- blem, upper right, symbolizes development of European in- tegration. little segment of the circular buffet gleamed and shone and sizzled. There was a deliciohs aroma of toasting buns and beef and onions on the griddle. Pert and pretty little London girls in clean white coats or aprons began to serve hamburgers and hot beverages to startled and de- lighted travelers. For a while around the wim- pey bar the old traditional buf- fet went on. But it could not last. And it did not last. The authorities took a deep breath. and capitulated. They shut the Buffet of Outrageous Fortune for a week and utterly trans- formed it. Now, called The Horseshoe, it is a show place. It gleams. I can quite believe that people delib- erately miss trains just to sit there on its rich stoolsor its low curved settee and finish their meals'll style. You can buy English fare there too, like fresh Bath buns and butter or sausage rolls or Melton Mow- bray pies, but the place of hon- or still is rightly filled by the Wimpey bar. There are hamburger restau- rants around Piccadilly and the Strand as well. American visi- tors often cannot get seats there for all the ,English fanburgers who crowd in. Even in the coun- try, ountry, local butchers begin to un- derstand about ground beef for hamburgers. This columnist was recently asked to broadcast about them on a nationwide hook-up and explain the barbe- cue. The hamburger and the hot dog in fact have arrived. In. some places it may not yet have been appreciated that the true hot dog requires a particular type of sausage and should not be made with the common or Cambridge "banger," but if it matters it will come in time. Of the many inventions credit- ed to American natural sciences these two, the hot dog and. the,. hamburger, . are doing as . much as any other to foster mutual appreciation and international understanding. Q. When the ceremony is over at a church wedding, should the members of the immediate fam- ilies be permitted to leave the church first, before the other people? A. Yes, this is the proper procedure.

It had to be—because the car you drive today needs more power—for today's performance. So you can see that with a more powerful engine there'll be more demands on the cooling system -and more at stake if anything goes wrong with that cooling system. In addition to the freeze-up protection that anti -freeze gives you, your car needs thecomplete protection that "Prestone" Brand Anti -Freeze provides. You see, it's not only frost that can stop anti -freeze circulating in your radiator. Particles of rust can clog it—corrosion can cause a leak—the water pump can deteriorate. "Prestone" Brand Anti -Freeze protects against these risks, too. Special inhibitors prevent rust and clogging. A unique Polar Film coats every part of your car's cooling system -seals it against corrosion and deterioration. And a special anti -foaming ingredient makes sure that the anti -freeze will not foam out of the top of the radiator. Your car should have the protective power of "Prestone" Brand Anti-Freeze—be sure you insist on it for trouble-free, Winter driving.
