'Amburgers!
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.

"PRESTONE"BRAND ANTIFREEZE
has all the protective power your engine needs
In the past ten years, the horse -power of car engines has
gone up—and up—and up. 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.
