some parts of the world the
least is conferred around a fa'
goose and plum pudding.
My first story concerns an ole
l.crSIon of plum pudding. OF
plum duff, as it was called by
the old seafaring men
In the more frugal seafaring
days, and even more recently
during, the last war, meatless
Thursdays were observed thro-
ughout the Navy.
The early seaman referred to
such a day as "Banian Day, A
term derived from a castle OF
Hindu Merchants and Traders
VINO, by their religion, abtsained
from eating meat.
Closely associated with Ban
ian Day was plum duff, a flour
and water pudding with raisins
or currantS added and usaully
boiled in bag. 1t was served 10
compensate for the abSense of 4
meat ration for a day. Varia-
tons of this mixture still are
an item of sea and shore menus,
But as a dessert rather than a
meat substitute.
Plum duff, as a name, is sup
posed to hav eorisinated years
ago when an Irish cook found a
new recipe for a plum or raiSin
dough pudding and tried it out
on the crew.
When asked what the dish
vas, the cook answered, Duff
here it is in the book" But"
objected one of the seamen, ex-
|amining the page, That's not
duff, it's dough-D-O-U-G-H,"
Il" Well, I'd like to know
Countered the cook rather testi-
ly. Il ROUGH spells duff"
and. in tradition, Duff it has
remained.
My next story is about the
raising of the right hand to take
an oath of allegiance. This prac-
tice is used quite frequently in
every day life, and by nearly all
people al one time or another in
their lifetime. 1t is used in oul
modern day courtroomS, wher
people are sworn in" to re-
'sponSible jobs in community or
state, also, it is used when a
man or woman takes an oath of
allegiance to his country prio!
to entering the armed forces
and IS also administered 10 nc

when he assumes the many re-
sponslbillties and trusts that &C

The custom OF raising III,

glance originated hundreds O
years ago.
One version of how the Gus.
tom began has it starting in r.,
days when, IN certain European
countries, a person convicacd o.
Ia crime was branded in III,
palm OF his right hand as (
means OF Identifying him as (
criminal for the remainder o.
his life. The law prohibited {
criminal from testi.y!ng undcl

raise his right hand to show
there was no brand mark con-
ccaled.
! Another story has the cuStor',
sprIasl.g l.Om t..l aEv4>m. A.
.igiouS rites that were required
when giving an oath. Usually a
Sacrificial animal was cut to
pieces and burned prior 20 the
ceremony, the idea being if the
person taking the oath did not
live up TO his bargain, he would
incur all the suffering to which
the animal had been subjected.
The oath usually given in a
church or temple of religious
worship. The person giving the
oath would kneel before the AL
tar, and raise his eyes and hands
towards heaven, where it was
thought dwelled the Deity that
would give him strength to live
up TO the oath.
The last story for this weeks

interest to everyone. This is one
