Page 6 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1977 United Press International Polish ‘link’ stolen while on display Mr;: CHICOPEE, Mass. — The world’s largest Polish sausage is missing and presumed eaten. Its owner stud recently some one stole the 25-foot-long, 107- pound kielbasa after it was dis played at the World Kielbasa Fes tival in Chicopee. Leon Partyka, manager of Chicopee Provisions Co. Inc., which made the giant sausage, says he hasn’t seen it since the festival. “I just hope whoever took it enjoys it. It’s fully cooked and ready to eat,” Partyka said. , Partyka said he wouldn’t pay a ransom for the kielbasa and doesn’t even want it back. “But if somebody calls and says they have it. I ll send them the rye bread and horse radish to go with it. Partyka had made some dis paraging comments about another giant kielbasa last week, saying residents of Rogers City, Mich., had only made a “giant hot dog and not a real kielbasa when they cooked a 3,000-pound saus age. He said it was not a collar- shaped link in a single animal cas ing like traditional kielbasa. “Maybe with till the discussion somebody from Rogers City came down to take a look at it so they’d have both the world’s largest hot dog and the world’s best tasting kielbasa,” he said. “If anybody had to steal it, I hope it was them, just to prove we have the best tasting kielbasa. Partyka said he didn’t see any way his company’s giant sausage, which contains pork, beef and veal and a “secret formula of spices, could have been eaten while it was still at the fair, so he thinks it was carted away in one piece. Partyka said he doesn’t plan to report the theft to police and will just “write off” the loss of the kielbasa — worth about $200 on a per pound basis. He had planned to display the large sausage at other fairs after the festival in Chicopee, which claims to be the nation’s kielbasa capital. But now he says the com pany doesn’t have the necessary two weeks to produce another sausage the size of the stolen one. English classes not carnival United Press International Nevermind what you’ve heard. The nation’s English teachers are keeping student noses in books, eyes on the printed words. The emphasis in today’s English teachers is on writing and reading and not on comic books or on the whims of students who “wanna do what they “wanna do,” according to a report in the English Journal. That is put out by the National Council of Teachers of English. “The picture of today’s typical secondary school English class, as painted by the popular press, de picts a loose, unstructured, even chaotic place where a raggedy bunch of undisciplined students mill around doing only what they wanna do — which is usually reading popu lar fiction (trash) and comic books (God help us), listening to loud music and making movies,” accord ing to the report. Nearly 500 senior high and 150 junior high English teachers say this simply is not so. Their students, according to the teachers surveyed, study themes in literature. They study spelling and vocabulary. They write many narratives of personal experience and analysis of literature. They spend time in class discussing books they read. In a tone of '“were okay,” teachers pounced on critics cf? cation who say there’s a shorl®. writing assignments.
