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,

YOUR RECREATION ROOM
Easy upkeep is, the key word
when you. plan your recreation
room, Unlike the living room
where, practicality is frequently by-
passed-for the sake of appearance—
your recreation room should re-
quire Miniminn upkeep. 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. You
will have axh.ra illlOPltit, ill the tex-
tural contrast of the soft glow of
your wood panelling and the gleam.
