PHILOSOPHY OF EATING

One man who has much to say Of

ticularly 10 people of dual cultural
background such as the Nisei, is
Prof. Angelo Pellegrini of the Eng
lish Department, perhaps better
| known outside of the campus as
the author of THE Unprecedented
Palate.
In talk to group of sociolo-
gists last week, DR. Pellegrini gave

gical implications of eating "a very
recurrent behavior among people,
Roughly, his talk could be divided
into two parts: ID the home as
the important center for neople's
activities, and 20 some suggestions
of overcoming the problems that
immigrants and second generations
face in America.
When the home begins to disinte-

centered around three main areas
of interest.

lively participates with his father
in the discriminating task of tasting
and smelling the home brew of
various types. 1t is a creative act
witty they share together.
Second, the garden. Here. the
whole family participates. Being a
man who believes it wrong to allow
potentially useful plots of ground to
go to waste, he has his garden pro-
duce all of the vegetables and fruit
they can use for the year. The en-
phasis is not on the economic gain
as important as that may be these
days. The primary interest is the
sharing of a creative activity by the
family.
Third, the kitchen. There is no
enc to creativity in the kitchen.

come on the day-to-day functional
activities - which usually is CLOSELY
related to the preparation or the

CURRENT NEWS reports suggest
that the British are still having a
tough time, though things seem q
little better with them lately Act
ually, it is high time for signs OF
recovery. How much better off Eng
land would be right now how
much sooner she would have come
out of the kinks if she had kept
safe her traditional freedoms - that
no one knows. But if the English
mind and spirit come out of these
dangerous experiences unscathed, il
will surely be a miracle.
(T'here are those who will give
more credit for improvements to
the Marshall Plan and to the gen.
crosby of the American taxpayer
than they will to Britain's labor
government) The sad thing about
it is that the Englishman is still
the worse off. having given up much
of his heritage of freedom and
liberty.

Corporation Tax Illusion.
And there is no room for this
spending and taxes except to cut
the standard of living of most of
our people. 1t is easy to say in
crease corporation taxes. That is
an illusion. The bulk of corpora
ton taxes is passed on to the con-
sumer-that is to every family. 1t
is easy to say increase taxes on the
higher personal income brackets.
But if all incomes over $4,000 q
year were confiscated, 1t would
cover less than 10 per cent Of these
actual and proposed spendings.
The main road is to reduce
spending and waste and defer
some desirable things for a while.
There are many absolute nscessi-
ties and there are many less urgent
meritorious and desirable things
that every individual family in the
Nation would like to have but
cannot afford. To spend for them
or borrow money for them would
endanger the family home and the

tional family. n

Taking out holidays, Sundays

we must get away from such sun
