Nestor Palace
Thought g Found
Ruin OF 18th Century 3. {.
Unearthed North of
Pylos in Greece.

ATHENS, GREECE.-An archeo-
logical find which, it is believed,
will result in further revelations OF
the utmost Importance not only to
students Of antiquity but to all low
ers Of ancient Greek culture. has
been made on the west coast Of the
Peloponnese, some 10 miles north
Of the present village Of Pylos.
Here on a windy hilltop command
ing rich fields of grain and olive
orchards, with broad view of the
Bay of Navarino, favored anchor
age in peace and war throughout
the ages, are the traces Of build
ing that can be almost positively
identified as the stronghold Of Nestor
known to every one familiar with
the Homeric legend. The palace is
said to be OF the late Thirteenth CEN
tury B. G.
The credit for the discovery Of
the site is shared by DR. Constan-
tine Kourouniotis, director OF the
Archaeological museum in Athens
and Prof. Carl w. Blegen OF the
University Q, Cincinnati. Professor
Smyrna times., 1940-09-05

Blegen has recently completed his
extensive field researches on the
ancient cities of tabled Troy.
Tombs Found 20 Years Ago.
The vicinity of Pylos became a
known possible archaeological site
more than 20 years ago when DIR.
Kourouniotis came upon two bee
hive tombs," which he subsequent
ly excavated. This led to the sup
position and later to the almost GER
tain knowledge that near by must
be royal palace, even the dwelling
of Nestor, the wise monarch and
one of the best known characters in
Homer.
The Professor Blegen discovery
and first rudimentary investigation
which have followed will have a far
reaching effect. From now on it
appears that there can be no doubt
of the fact that the stronghold, now
a ruin, identifable as kings resi-
dence on account of its position, its
architecture and the presence of bits
of colored fresco and pottery, etc.
was actually the dwelling of Nestor.
In this connection it should be re-
called that in the Odyssey Telema-
chus, son of Odysseus, visited Mes
tor in Pylos. and upon hearing that
his ver-wandering father might be
found in Pherae sped thither in the
hopes of meeting him. Pherae is
known to have occupied the present
site of Kalamata.
Heroic Age Revealed.
Probably no site of equal interest
with this, near Pylos, has been
brought to ight-at least on the
mainland of Greece-since DR..
Schliemann revealed the first actual
proofs Of the existence Of the Ho-
meric heroes in 1876.
AS result Of his excavations in
the palace Of Agamemnon at My
cenae a great deal of knowledge
was given to the world concerning
the habits and customs Of the men
and women who lived in the heroic
age, a period that comprises rough
ly 1900 to 1900 B. c., and which now
has the name, "Mycenean.
From the Mycenae excavations
came most of the treasure which is
held in the Archaeological museum il
Athens.
1t is believed likely that similar
treasure may be found in the Pylos
stronghold. The place is guarded.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Last year the United States De
partment of Agriculture distribut-
ed surplus commodities for the
feeding of needy and malnourish-
ed school children. Eighty-five Del
aware schools used these commod-
titles to help provide free lunches
for 2,283 such children.
Many schools reported mark
ed improvement in the health of
children fed these lunches.
Surplus commodities are avail
able for school lunches again this
year. Canned milk, canned peach
es, and eggs are expected to be
available for Delaware, as well as
the staples of rice, flour, and beans.
Letters and application blanks
have been sent to each school by
the Delaware Old Age Welfare
Commission. All schools. including
those which received commodities
last year must fill out and return
these application blanks in order
to receive commodities.
It is part Of the plan for these
lunches that needy and undernour-
ished children receiving free lunch
es should not be segregated from
| those children who are able to
pay for their lunches. In one room
schools the paying children may
contribute money or other food
In schools which have a cafeteria.
feed made from surplus commod-
tiles may be sold if the school will
purchase more of that same COM
modify, equal to the amount for
which the children paid.
Surplus commodities alone are
not planned to provide complete
~ nourishing meal. Schools which
expect to use them need to have
other food supplied directly or to
have money contributed for the
purchase of other foods.
Many rural schools found last
year that the use Of National
Youth Administration employees
saves the teacher much time and
worry in the preparation Of hot
lunches. These employees work six
ty-four hours a month which would
allow one employee about three
hours each school day. Schools
which are interested in securing
such assistance should get informa-
ton from the county office of the
National Youth Administration.
