Babe ' Young Clambake King Shirley Buy s Tax "Expert" In Trouble
(Reprinted TFrom The New York Times Magazine)
This hong Island town of East
Hampton of rambler-rose-covered
fences and graceful elms, where
the cottage stands that inspired
"Home, Sweet Home," is celebrating
its three hundredth anniversary
with a variety of birthday parties.
There was a pageant in June , a
strawberry festival over the Fourth
and on u recent Saturday one of
those old-fashioned clambakes , to
which you must bring the appetite
of an Amazon if you are to uu
justice to the meal.
Myron C (Eabe ) Young, hi ghway
superintendent at Riverhead , the
cauliflower capital of the Island,
drove over with nine men "to put
up the bake." They came in three
trucks, loaded with food and cooking and serving equi pment. At
7:7(0 a. m. six hours before the
party started , they pulled up on
the shore of Gardiner ' s Bay in the
near-by village of Springs. This
was the setting for the bake, and
a p,r etty one , too, with Gardiner 's
Island off to the right, where Lion
Gardiner , first settler of these parts,
originally landed.
