HISTORY OF SANDWICHES
IS INTERESTING STORY

game that had been in progress
for sometime that the Earl of
Sandwich became quite hungry.
Not wanting to throw in his cards
and lose the pot, he directed his
servants to prepare his meal in the
form of meat between two layers
of bread. This way he could play
his hand and eat at the same time
without interfering with the game.
Other gamblers were intrigued
by this novel method of eating
which served a dual purpose and
it became quite common for them
to order the same as Sandwich"
Thus, the sandwich gained in pop
ularity with every class of society
and its use spread throughout the
world. All because of one mans
love for gambling.
Popularity Spreads
Today the sandwich still retains
its popularity and has become an
important part of the diet of the
average American. Just as the
principle motive for Lord Sand
wich preferring bread and meat to
three-course meal that would
take him away from his game, the
sandwich now serves as a time
saver for thousands of office work.
ers, laborers, homemakers and
school children. In addition, it is
wholesome and nourishing.
Sandwiches may be simple or
elaborate, and the range in variety
is limited only to the imagination
of the sandwich maker. They exist
all the way from the plain wafer
like bread and butter sandwich Of
the afternoon tea to the 10-layer
sandwich which is the perennial
favorite of DagWood Bumstead,
great American folk hero of Chic
Young's comic strip, Blonde"
Ranking foremost among the
favorites of today are the ham
burger and hot dog between buns
and rolls which are a must in
every picnic basket. However,
many other types of sandwiches
such as peanut butter and jelly,
cheese. cold meats, etc, are pOpu-
lar with the young and old alike.
But no matter what the filling,
sandwiches are the life of any pic
mic whether they are held in parks,
backwards, beaches or forest pre-
serves. So, let's all go on a picnic
and have lots of fun.

spectors reported: In the last four
years, the Lilypons post office has
lost $4,513. 1t only takes in that
much in one year, so this means
that it's being run completely at
the taxpayers expense every fourth
year. Simple arithmetic proves this.
The postmaster has Deen making
$3,917 a year The messenger (who
is also an employee of the Fisher
ies) gets $50 a month from the
government for carrying the mail
back and forth to a neighboring
larger post office.
The Lilypons post office is not
nearby the Fisheries. It's in the
firms shipping room--a siX-and-a-
half foot-square space for which
the government pays $500 a year
rent to the Fisheries.
There is no town located at
Lilypons," the postal inspectors
said. There are no residences. In
fact, the only building is The Three
Springs Fisheries.
The Post Office department is of
the opinion that the Lilypons Post
Office is not needed" they said.
Postmaster General Summerfield
is trying in every way to reduce
that big annual deficit he has in
herited. He is asking for higher
postal rates to help get out of the
red But postal rates would have
to 90 sky-high in order to make up
for obvious waste in the depart
ment.
One way to save money is to
close up unnecessary post offices.
Some will say it's a drop in the
bucket to lock up an operation
which only loses a thousand dol
lars a year or so. But there are
hundreds Of places like Lilypons
across the L. S. 70 save a thousand
dollars means to save all the taxes
paid by two average families in
Maryland, and to me, that's worth
something.
I have informed the officials at
LilypOns that I know of no reason
to keep their post office open.

While picnics have been going
on for hundreds of years, we must
not forget the most important part
of any picnic-SANDWICHES. For
no picnic would be complete with
out sandwiches made of cheese,
cold meats, and various kinds Of
filling to suit the individual taste.
Garnished with lettuce, tomatoes,
pickles, mustard, olives, relishes
and other condiments, they are
delectable eating and will satisfy
the most ravenous boy or girl.
Many stories have been told
about the origin of the sandwich.
Yet, today, people are still in the
dark as to how our present day
sandwich came into being.
Theories have been advanced by
writer's who say that sandwiches
are older than bread itself and
were inspired by the first man or
woman who placed a slice Of meat
or other filling between two slabs
of bread. Still others say that
sandwiches were nothing new to
the Babylonians and that the
Greeks and Romans enjoyed this
food combination at their banquet
tables.
More stories were told with the
supposition that priests of the pre-
Christian era invented the sand
witch because they dined upon
sacred waters spread with honey.
Again, another school of thought
leans to the belief that the birth of
the sandwich occurred in the year
so AID. and was used as part Of
the Passover Observance by a
Jewish teacher, Rabbi Hillel.
Earl of Sandwich
Perhaps the most fascinating
story to be- told about the origin Of
the sandwich is the tale of the
Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Back
in the latter part of the 18th cen
fury, the Earl was one Of the most
prominent figures in British poll
tics having twice served as First
Lord of the Admiralty.
But his heart was not in the af-
fairs of state, gambling being his
first love. For twenty-four hours
at a time, the Earl would sit at
the gaming table and become so
absorbed in the contest that he
would refuse to stop and eat.

Eisenhower Administration to close

The firm which ships through the
mail, said the Lilypons post office
was showing a profit; that the firm
was not "unduly alarmed over the
half-billion-dollal loss by the Post
Office Department last year; that
the Lilypons postmaster was re-
signing, and that while the firm
had "no one to recommend" for the
job, they would feel "highly
honcred" if they were informed in
advance as to who would get it.

The "single package bill' was
sponsored by Senator Harry Byrd,
of Virginia, and some 50 other SEN
ators Of both parties. 1t passed the
Senate by a practically unanimous
vote and it has the approval Ct
every fiscal officer Of the Admin
istration. The first part of the
measure does provide for a single
bill in which all general appropri-
ations shall be considered by Con-
gress within one cover. This is as
far as the so-called single appro-
priation bill of 1850 went. The sec
ond part, Senator Byrd explains,
provides that Congress shall write
into all appropriation bills limita-
tions on. annual obligations against
all available appropriations both
current and those previously enact
ed. This provision, Senator Byrd
points out, has been in the bill since
its first introduction in 1947.
"To my mind" he says, at is the
most important provision" 1t
would, of course, put an end to the
indefensible practice of piling up
billions of unexpended balances
now totaling more than $102,000,-
100000. This is money appropriated
in previous years, not spent but
obligated, and for which the new
Administration must somehow find
cash.

"This," Senator Byrd says, "is
not responsible practice when the
Federal debt is already more than
quarter of trillion dollars
when the necessity for raising the
debt ceiling is becoming more evil
dent every day-and when a debt
of $3OO,OOO,OO0,O0O can be re-

do not concede that deficit spend
ing must be continued. | do not
concede that more debt must be
piled up. But these conditions are
reality if Congress acquiesces in
default. The budget for fiscal year
1854 cannot be balanced by action
on new appropriations. The budget
year hence cannot be balanced
by reduction in new appropriations.
This is to say that the Federal
budget cannot be balanced at all
in the foreseeable future unless
control over annual expenditures is
recaptured

Yet, for a much longer time we
have had in our own Congress a
situation that bears remarkable
resemblance to the Soviet United
Nations tactics-a situation where
two chairmen Of important House
committees can use their power to
strange legislation desired by the
Congress, desired by the Presi-
dent, desired by the people, but I'M
desired by themselves. Clearly this
is antagonistic to the national in
terest. We seem powerless against
the Russian vetoes, but it does seem
that a way might be found to cur
tail the autocratic authority of the
Reeds and Tabers in eases such as
today exist. A vast deal of talk
and writing has been done against
the alleged iniquity of the sena-
torial filibuster, and, through clo-
ture rules, their complete effec-
tiveness has been somewhat re-
duced. Is it not time some thought
should be given to this dictatorship
of the House committee chairmen :?

chief purpose Of the Byrd bill is to
recover that control. The Senate
action, in its overwhelming passage,
attests the belief of that body that
that control is vital and that this

cant be had unless somehow or
