SQUIRE'S TABLE
A smorgasbord that's popular,
and it's easy to see why
We were set to try the Sunday
Smorgasbord at the Hotel Teeswater a
couple of months back when one of the
tierce winter blizzards interfered. It wasn't
until early May that we discovered just
what we'd been missing.
The Hotel, formerly known as the
Vendome, came under new management
less than a year ago and a good many
changes have been made. The Sunday
smorgasbord was one of them and it's
become a popular Sunday happening for
many people in the area since. So popular,
in fact, that we were glad we arrived about
five because a half hour later the dining
room was packed.
The whole family took the trip this time.
We were greeted by an attractive hostess
and shown to a table. A high chair was
provided for the youngest. After declining
anything from the bar we made our
selection of apple or tomato juice and then
settled down to enjoy a miniature loaf of
bread, so fresh from the oven that it
practically 'burned the fingers to cut it.
Next it was a trip to the salad bar part of
the smorgasbord table that reached across
one end of the diningroom. It provided an
ample variety of salad material and sauces
to go with them.
'l'he main course selection was also wide.
It began with cold meats and,went on to
barbecued spare ribs, roast pork and roast
beef with each serving cut right from the
roast. All the meats were tender and
tastey. The lady commented she felt it
rated with the best smorgasbords we'd
sampled.
Dessert was a choice of several kinds of
pie, cherry cheesecake, and jellies. They
were good„ but nothing to rave about.
The diningroom is called the Heritage
Room and is a comfortable blend of new
and old with the old woodwork and
wallpaper patterns along with modern
wall-to-wall carpet that makes the room
quiet and warm feeling and old -styled new
furniture.
The one problem is that the room is not
so well set up for smorgasbord as some
more modern diningrooms which meant
lineups at the serving table spread out
among the diners. At one point we were
virtual captives of those waiting to be
served.
In all though, the Hotel Teeswater
smorgasbord has to rate high. The price,
for the whole family (children aged six,
four and two) was $13.50. ■
If we help
the children
while they're
still children,
their children
will be able
to help them-
selves.
The United Nations
Children's Fund believes that the
children of the developing
nations need more than just food
and medicine if we are ever to
break the vicious circle
of poverty.
That's why, for years,
UNICEF has helped provide
the tools to help people help
themselves and their future
generations. Things like well -
digging rigs for the water -scarce
regions of Africa, nutrition
classes for expectant mothers in
South America, and school
supplies for the children of Asia.
Of course we provide food
and medicine. too. But if we can
give these children something
more, something they can use to
build a decent life, then someday
maybe the world won't need a
UNICEF anymore.
Please send as much as you
can spare to UNICEF today.
