 Everything of the unexpected the unpredictable-has been elim- inted when dining in cafeteria.
 That's why 1t is a minor tragedy that Dicks original Bar and Grill just west of the Brooklyn bridge, is now closed.
 Described by Joseph Mitchell so eloquently in the New Yorker a couple of years ago, Dicks place was the answer to such over- standardization in eating.
 Dick and his bartenders usually acted as if they loathed their cus- toners and the customers liked it because it made them feel at home. Most of them were men who were made i'll at ease by too much solicitude or service. If someone complained about a gris- tly steak or a baked potato, raw in the middle, Dick would grunt and say, If you don't like my grub, you don't have to eat here. I'd just as soon I never saw you again"
 One night the customers stop- ped singing and eating for sud- denly missiles started flying through the air. Later an ambu- lance had to come and get two men who had diferred over which had the more nourishment: but termilk or beer.
 NOT FAR FROM
 THE OPEN SEA
 Veteran seamen tell me that New York harbor is the worlds easiest to sail into when fogs shroud the water because it's only seventeen miles in land. But, they say sailing up New York harbor is not like sailing into glamorous Shanghai, or langourous Singa- pore.
 Yet New York still gets their vote for New York differs from them all. Not only is it a me- tropolis on the sea, 1t is the worlds biggest population astride the worlds best natural harbor.
 It is surprising how few of the worlds great cities are built upon great harbors. Of the twelve cities of the world having a pop ulation of 100000 or more, only four are located upon first-class harbors with deepwater channels. These are Buenos Aires, Lenin- grad, Shanghai, and New York.
 Their objections to London, for example, is that though it is 8 great seaport it is located on the narrow, muddy Thames. And Tokyo, lying at the head of the head of the Bay of Tokyo, has water which is too shallow for any but the smallest ships.

Views of The Press

symbolizes much of all Connecticut.
 It is true that town like Sharon has little to offer enterprising youngsters. "If they've got any gumption," says First Selectman George Wheeler, "they go away" But the Sharons of Connecticut and doubtless of other states have their attractions for those who cherish hopes of someday getting away from the hustle and turmoil and fast pace of existence in the cities. It is pleasant to contemplate a town that has no tavern, no thcate-. no factory, no dance hall--and also no debt and no relief problem.
