It is i a modern city still retaining 1 much of the Swiss atmosphere. From there we journeyed by train. j Unfortunately, by mistake, our coaches had not been reserved : for us the day before so we had to manage the best way we could. The trains are like the English trains, divided into com­ partments for six or eight. We were eight in a compartment from 10 a.m. till we reached Rome at 7.07 p.m. We certainly felt like “strangers in a strange city.” After a night’s sleep we were ready to explore. The station at Rome is a new and modern one—the largest in Europe and completed in 1950. In a sense it looks out of place in a city of ancient buildings. An old Roman wall runs at right angles to the station. One finds short stretch­ es of this old Roman wall here and there, around the city and many of the old gates still stand and traffic passes through them. See Largest Cathedral On our first morning we .were taken on a sight seeing tour vis­ iting St. Peter’s Cathedral—the largest in the world built by Constantine and rebuilt during the Renaissance by the most celebrated artists of that age, prominent amongst them being Michael Angelo who designed and painted the interior of the large dome which can be seen from any part of the. city. Just behind St. Peter’s, the Vatican palaces cover, nearly 55,000 square yards. The Pope is at his summer home at the present time. We paid our respects Fountain of the Three made a wish and threw over our shoulder into the Just as the familial’ __ says “Rome was not built in a day” so we cannot visit it in one day and see very much of it. I find rayself woefully ignor­ ant of my ancient history and have resolved several times since coming here to “bone” up on it next winter. We were entertained at lunch­ eon by the directors of British Tourist Service. This was our second battle with spaghetti—it was served at luncheon on the train on Thursday. We asked oui’ courier if we should eat it like the Italians do but he said “No—eat it any way you like.” One lady asked what to do with the strings that hung from, the fork? ? ? Today it was served with tomato sauce or seafood sauce as one wished, then sprinkled with grated chees. Worried About Food We were warned by our cour­ ier about the food in Italy—it' is such a contrast to the food to which we are accustomed, in that it is very rich, mostly cook­ ed in oil. A variety of cheeses and fruits which are at their best right now save the situa-! tion for us. Baskets of apples, i pears, peaches, grapes and figs i appear at the end of each meal. At 6 o’clock of that same day we were invited to a party at the home of k the Ambassador of' Canada and ‘ his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Dupuy, formerly of Montreal. They were a friendly, unpretentious couple and every­ one expressed their pleasure at being entertained so informally and so graciously. Saturday in Rome we were given the opportunity .of visiting the isle of Capri dr sightseeing ‘in Rome. I chose the latter part­ ly because it was the Colosseum and the catacombs that I partic­ ularly wanted to see in. Rome. In ancient days the Colosseum was the syriibol of .the* city and its life. Although partly demol­ ished one can picture the great ampitheatre where innumerable martyrs gave their lives for their faith before • thousands of bloodthirsty spectators. In 1960, when Rome for the first time will play host to the Olympic Games, the Colosseum will again be used as a sports arena. Catacombs 'Fantastic' The visit to the Catacombs, the underground Christian cem­ eteries, was fantastic. We de­ scended in single file, each carrying a lighted candle, into tunnels where rectangular holes in the walls marked the burial place of an early .martyr or Christian. The cavernous walls have been re-inforced otherwise they are the same as of old with various inscriptions on them.

Today (Sunday) four of our party attended the unveiling of the monument to service per­ sonnel who lost their lives in the Italian campaign at Cassino about 40 miles from Rome. Our members noticed some men in Canadian air force uniforms'* and made it t a point to speak to them. When the editors told them they were from Ontario, the airmen said' they had been sta­ tioned at Centralia RCAF sta­ tion. They were F/0 Bill Pop­ pink and F/0 Del Mooney who are with the RCAF in Germany. We were privileged to see and hear Pope Pius XII today. We were taken to his summer res­ idence about 20 miles distant from Rome. After many prelim­ inaries he appeared and spoke a few words of welcome and blessing to us and then mingled with the audience for a short time, shaking hands and chat­ ting. Then he posed for a photo­ graph with the Canadian group. He is 83 years of age and seemed in fair health. We were much impressed with his person­ ality—he seemed gentle and in­ terested in his audience. This afternoon we visited the summer resort of Tivoli where, at one time the aristocray of Rome built very fine homes. One that we were shown was built in 1550. It is said an entire quarter of a village was. demol­ ished to make room for it. In­ side the Villa D’Este, as it is called, are many fine paintings but ’the big attraction is .the beauty of its garden which'de­ scends at various levels. Count­ less fountains, some large, some small, in various shapes and heights throw their spray over the luxuriant growth of the gar­ den arid down to the vineyard far below. One path,in the garden boasts one hundred fountains. All along its length jets of water rise from eagles, obelisks, lilies (the crest of the d’Este family) and masks against a background of maiden-hair fern and moss. This morning at 7 a.m.t we boarded the train for Nice- starting homeward I 1 I You note we are travelling ■ by train to Nice and Paris to save time.

Six to Starters For A Champion By MARJORIE STEINER We thought it would be inter-1 esting to have recipes this week| from the two women our cham-j pion eook, Mrs. Aimer Pass- more, credits with having a ’ part in starting her on the way to becoming a Champion in the field of cooking.
