an OK on Coronation Day has been
a tradition down the centuries,
permission has been granted by
the Government to repeat the rit-
ual. The meat, however, must be
given away and not sold.
Travelled by train to Sevenoaks,
Kent, then by car to Ide Hill, to
meet Mr.. M. w. Backhouse, a
wholesale tea merchant of London,
chairman. of the village Corona
ton committee. This village, he
told me. has roasted an OK for
every Coronation since its begin
ming in the 1500's.
While the OK is barbecuing, the
villagers will celebrate with games
and contests. There will be May
pole winding, after this the tea,
then later the carving of the beef.
In the evening a huge bonfire will
be lighted for dancing on the
green.

HOW TO Make A BETTER
CUP OF COFFEE

By and large, there is no such thing
as sine" blend of coffee at bargain
price.
So, when you see well known brand
announcing price cut, it is frequently
an admission that their coffee isn't
selling well enough in the Washington
area :. where fine coffee is known and
appreciated.
We like to think that the principal
reason why fine coffee is recognized
here, is that Wilkins Coffee is the
leading brand in Washington. More
local restaurants serve it than all
other brands combined. And, likewise,
Wilkins out-sells all other brands in
the grocery stores and super-markets!
