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®.

The teachers said they give pin
