By the Chef

Seeing an ad recently in a New
York paper which mentioned the
Dunmow Fitch. I was prompted
to look again into its history. And
if bacon prices continue as they
are now. soon that half pound in
the icebox will be as highly es-
teemed as was the famous Fitch.
However, for q very different
reason. as you will see!
At the church Of Dunmow, in
Essex County. England. a fitch of
bacon used to be given to any
married couple who. after a
twelvemonth of matrimony, would
come forward and make oath that
during that time they had lived in
perfect harmony and fidelity
never a cross word between them /!
The origin of all this is lost.
but some believe that it stems
from Robert Fitzwalter, favofite
Of King John, who revived the
Dunmow Priery at the beginning
of the 18th century. How
ever. 1t seems quite likely that the
good fathers themselves, rejoicing
in their celibacy. instituted the
custom as a jest upon their less
fortunate fellows.

ened I cannot scream.

If you are there to read this.
The only thing which can save
you or me now is organization.
Make lists of those to whom you
will give gifts and try to think
what they would like before you
go shopping.
Aimless looking eats up loads
of time and energy.
Do some telephoning before
you shop. The stores may not like
this but I should think they
would prefer it to having us
stand around the counters eight
deep when they do not even have
what we came to buy. Telephone
calls will save you many steps and
much time when looking for some
fairly unusual present.
Outline your route like a gen.
eral does his when on march. Do
not backtrack. A list of what you
mean to buy in each store is OF
tremendous aid to you and to the
salesladies. Organize by stores.
Buy several small universally
liked and useful gifts for those
inevitable people you forget until
the last minute, people you want
to remember but who somehow
skipped your mind when you
made out your list.

Tall Stories
By AnqeIo Potri

When a neighbor's child tells
story of persecution by his
parents, 1t is we'll not to get too
excited about it. Young people
in their teens sometimes feel
abused when they are not given
money their parents cannot give
them. clothes they cannot afford
treats beyond their means, and
some of them embroider such
hard facts with romance. 1t is
best to be slow in accepting such
tales.
A quiet little girl appeared in
school one day wearing glasses.
They were gold-mounted specta-
cles. The teacher said, Il am SO
glad you have glasses. You did
need them. And such handsome
ones, too." whereupon the child
burst into tears. The teacher,
thinking that she had made the
child self-conscious about the
iDRCSUaOlCog PdbUCo 4lCl
and went on with her work.
Later that day one of the chill
dren said to the teacher, do you
know why Hattie cried this
morning? She has stepmother
and she let her own daughter
have the kind of glasses she
wanted but she made Hattie wear
those old-fashioned granny kind
and Hattie feels awful. She never
gets anything she wants. Her
stepmother's laughter gets
everything first, so there's scarce
ly ever anything left for Hattie.
She has an awful time, poor
Hattie"
who told you all this, child?"
Hattie. She always tells us.
We all know 1t is true"
The teacher made it her busi-
ness to watch and listen, made
the acquaintance OF the STEP
mother and brought about the
matter of the spectacles by say
ing. II was so glad Hattie got
glasses. and such sensible ones"
Eyes. she needed them badly
and we had a hard time persuad-
ing her to wear them. She want
ed rimless ones but the optome-
trist said that a firm frame was
better for children Of her age.
They stay In focus better and
are not so easily broken. Is she
doing any better since?"
Il think SO. She. will be pro-
That's wonderful. You see,
We want her to get into college
with her older sister so she won't
be alone the first year anyway"
That's your daughter? She
wears glasses too2"
"No. She never had to wear
them. But Hattie must wear
them as you know, because she is
near-sighted. am so anxious to
get her to feel happy in school.
1t means so much"
Don't assume that a child is
being ill-treated until you see it.
Even then, make sure.

DunnnoW Fitch

awarding of the fitch Is in 1445
when a laborer, Richard Wright
claimed and obtained it. But
there is evidence Of even earlier
successes. according to English
literature, the first being noted in
about 1862, in 'The Vision of Pier.
Plowman," which goes:
Many q couple since the Pest!lenes
Have plighted them together;
The fruit that they bring forth
Is foul words,
In Jealousy without happiness.
And ouarreiine in bed;
They have, no children but strife.
And slapping between them;
And though they, go 70 Dunmow
To follow after the Fitch.
They never obtain II;
And unless they both are periured.
They lose the Bacon"
The Dunmow Fitch is also re-
ferred to by Chaucer. in 1.-THE
Wife of Bath"
AS late as 1880 the Fitch was be-
ing contested for, but interest
waned after revival caused by q
novel entitled THE Fitch OF
Bacon" Other sections and ever
countries offered prizes for mari
tai happiness from time to time
but none have become as famous
as the Dunmow Fitch.
And if you are puzzled as to the
definition of the word fitch
here's what the dictionary has to
say:

ed and salted."

Truman Satisfied
He Was indicated

WASHINGTON, June 22.-(A9.
Some of President Truman's
congressional friends say the
President is satisfied-in his own
mind that he has won the battle
Of the Macarthur custer.
The President is described by
these sources as believing that the
testimony in the Macarthur hear
ing has vindicated the administra-
tons theory of limited war in
Korea.
Most Republicans, Of course. are
prepared to dispute that it has.
The President smilingly refused
at his news conference yesterday
to comment on General MacAvth-
ur's speeches in Texas.
Some Of the Presidents aides
apparently have concluded that
the less the President saws about
the Macarthur matter now, the
quicker the furore will become
a secondary affair.
