DUNKING is CERTIFIED
{ Riverside Press


America must be a better place to live
in this week especially to those who en-
JOY dunking.
Though the foolish highbrow may have
ieered, when the bunker asserted there
was a natural, unalterable affinity be-
tween the doughnut and the cup of cof-
fee, it is the dunkers who do the jeering
today.
No less q parsonage than Mrs. Ger
trude Binney Kay, prominent Boston
educator, casting caution to the winds,
has announced that dunking is entirely
correct, at informal parties, at least.
The cruller, she adds should be held
between the thumb and third finger.
That will be cheering news to large
group of fellows who gather once each
week at Corona for the express purpose
of indulging in the festive entertainment
of dunking. We have been reading some
highly interesting stories of this group
and have frequently wondered if its
dunking proclivities extended further
than the weekly gatherings do they
dunk at home?
And to know that dunking is ok. in
any we'll regulated family will no doubt
be joyful news to our Corona neighbors
who will be, just as the balance of us
are, pleased that this time-hOnored Gus
tom Of dunking has been Vindicated.
