HOME FIRE DRILL Our thanks to THREE GENERATIONS of Canadian Homemakers! THE STORY OF LETIUCE In ancient days the traveller journeying from the'Mediterraniart eastward through the levant was not dependent upon the sun to guide his footsteps, lie could di- rect his COWS° unerriagly, by the "oompaas-plant", which grew on. every band, Not that he knew wild lettuce by that name, of course, but he was aware of the habit of its upheld leaves to point their edges due north and due south. A tall- stalked weed, reaching to five or six feet, the leaves that climbed alternately up the stem could not fail to be seen. sometime in the very remote past a thirsty traveller may have chewed one of the juicy leaves, so refreshing, so thirst-quenching, name, "water Plant", that, j t lred,„i La. ,First TegOrded Sean .afteward the leaves were gathered and cooked for greens, a new and wholesome .16ed; and when they were broken from the stalk a milky, juice exuded, so the tall weed became the "milk plant". And that, in a way, It is. today, for the formal name of wild let- tuce is Laettica Scarlola. Both Lactuca and "lettuce" are from the Latin Mc, "milk", This wild let- tuce is often called prickly lettuce "by cause underneath the leafe the middle sinewe or ribbe is set full of sharpe prickles." From gathering the wild leaves for food it was but a step to the cultivation of lettuce which 'se- cured probably 'about 3000 years ago. Aristoxenus, of the fifth century B.C., not only was growing let- tuce hi his garden but taking such pride in the plantS that he water- ed theM daily with honey and wine. ' There is a story of the first Ro- man emperor, Augustus Caesar, who fell ill and steadily grew worse despite all the physicians could do, so a famous astrologer was called in. The night was clear, the sky full of stars; the astrologer studied the emperor's horoscope and then went in to the garden to lhecic.,vvil:h the planets then in ascendant. As hci lay on his back among ;the lettuce, an inspiration came to him—not from the sltieti but from the leaves he was crushing, The emperor should forego all medi- cine., all food and, drink; and eat quantities of lettuce, On this diet Augustus recovered so rapidly that in gratitude 'tis reported he creel- :d a. statue and built an altar to .his noble plant; • A generation later; Tactitus was content. to enjoy its delectable M- yer, "That excellent .Emperor Tact- itus it a sumptuous feast, with a lettuce sallet and a single pullet, Which was usually all the flesh-meat that sober Prince eat of."' • It was first used in ,England in 1520 and King Henry VIII confer- red a special reward upon the gar- dener who devised the. combination of - lettime and cherries for the. royal table. Today, whenever there's a salad, chances are very great that there -will also be lettuce, VA_OET SALAD If cup stuffed olives If large Bermuda onion (option- al) I. small head cauliflower 2/3 cup French Dressing 1 head lettuce 11 /2 . cup crumbled blue cheese Slice olives, cut • onion into crosswise 'slices and separate into rings.

The nice thing is 'that yon needn't sacrifice attractiveness. Choose your wall anti ceiling sur- faces carefully. Wood panelling is the prime favourite. If you have a fireplace, . you might break the monotony of wood by facing the fireplace wall with ceramic tile, In planning your tile wall, introduce dashes of bright colour by "spot- log" the wall with. a, variety of jewel-coloured tires, Once installed, there will be no upkeep and your unusual wall will be the focal point of your room. Select practical fabrics and sturdy furniture. An old door, sup- ported with six short legs, will double as a fireplace seat or coffee tables, Cover large plat-tam cushions with bright, striped sail- cloth Or denim, These can act as cushions on your fireplace seat, or be tossed on the floor for the small fry to curl up on, Keep a supply of dishes, a kettle, a double burner cooking unit ill your recreation room. lialf the joy of your fun room will be lost if you have to ' dash upgalra when the family demands a round of hot, chocolate and a late evening snack. Resist the temptation to move in all the'disearded furniture from the rest of the house, Tinderfurnish rather than overfurnish. Leave lots of room to move around, to dance, play games. Unpainted furniture 'offers a, Splendid opportunity to furnish simply and economically. A coin- fortable furniture grouping in front of the fireplace is desirable: pair Of coinfortable chairs, fire- place seat, extra cushions, a pair of reading lamps and, perhaps, 'bright scatter rug, But beware of scatter rugs in the rest of the room, Bright, clear colours are rcemil- Mended and use lots of yellow if your room tends to 1)0 dark.
