Ancient Romans Ate
Many Types of Food
IUnder Caesars Rule
By Romon Coffmun

The Romans who lived in the
time of Julius Caesar enjoyed
many kinds of food.
If you had lived in Rome during
this era you would have been able
to choose several kinds of bread to
eat, including whole wheat and
bran bread.
Cakes were baked along with
the bread, and these were sweet
ened with honey. Nothing was
known by the ancient Romans
about obtaining sugar from beets
or cane. For sweets and sweeten-
ing they went to the beehive, the
berry bush and the fruit tree.
Apples, pears, plums and grapes
were common fruits in Italy, anC
were sold at low prices when they
were in season. From gardens
came carrots, peas. beans, cab
bages, onions and garlic.
When Roman wanted to offer
sacrifice to a god or goddess, he
might take an animal (perhaps q
bull or cow to a priest. The ami
NAL was divided, some parts being
placed on the altar.
The rest of the meat was given
to the priests, or was returned tc
the piouS man or woman. Ir
choosing their portion of the
animal, the priests almost al
ways took the liver.
On the markets of Rome, people
were able to buy beef, pork, NUT.

geese, pigeons. cranes, thrusheG

Shopping With Mother
Is Fun for Family
Prize Contribution
By Emily WenzeI, II
St. Jeromes School

Shopping with mother is fun.
Before we go mother calls the
different stores to see which one
has what she wants. This saves
time all around.
Mother is a careful shopper.
Everything is looked over before
1T is bought. It takes hours for
her to shop.
But I like going along with
mother because We walk slowly
and almost every time she buys
me something nice. When we get
in one of the big stores ! go and
look at the toys while she buys
other things.
Mother likes funny hats. That's
why daddy and my little sister
go shopping with her also. Mother
frowns when we laugh at her hats
but we love TO do it.
If ever went shopping by my
self I would do the same thing as
mother does. even to trying on
funny hats.

the mere idea of a coffee shortage

clared. During our ships two

remarkable engineering feat. For

ommends the interesting bus trip.

mo, your majesty" replied the
old fellow. "Our ancestors planted
olive trees for us, so we must plant
also in order that our children
may later gather the fruit during
their allotted span of years"
King Sherwan was pleased at
this intelligent answer. He Or
dered his minister to give the old
man a bag of gold.
Taking the gift. the peasant re-
piled, Il am indeed grateful to
you, sire. and so will be thousands
of our successors, for with this
money I shall be able to plant a
large grove of olive trees. and your
name will be remembered forever. "
The King was very much fat
tered. He turned to his minister
and ordered him TO- give the old
man another bag of gold.
On receiving this second gift
the peasant responded, We'll, sire,
an ordinary olive tree bears fruit
only once a year, but my tree has
already borne fruit twice in a few
minutes"
With this reply, the King gave
the old man a third bag of gold.
Then turning to his minister. he
said, 1--WE had better move on, be-
cause fear that if we stay in this
place much longer, all of the gold
at my disposal will not be enough
to reward this remarkable man for
his brilliant answers"
The old man turned back to
finish planting his olive tree. He
was, as the King had noted, a re-
markable man. He had known
for many years that being a good
citizen, and giving intelligent re-
plies to all men you meet, are keys
which will open many doors.

started drawing Pogo? And where
did he pick up that delightful

Well, Walt Kelly is 36 years old
and bit on the plump side. He
has wife named Helen; two
daughters, Kathleen. 7, and Caro-
lyn, Az, and a son Peter, 21a
They live in Darien, Conn.
Born in Philadelphia, Walt was
2 when his parents moved to
Bridgeport, Conn, where he grew
up and, at the same time. man
aged to get through school. In
high school, he drew for the STU
dent newspaper and the yearbook,
flunked in mathematics and had
almost as tough a time with
French. He still doesn't know why
he got a diploma-unless the au-
thorities figured it was cheaper
than an old-age pension.
The best job Walt was able to
get was as bundle wrapper in an
underwear factory. It didn't last.
however, so he tried smashing
faulty switches for a manufacturer
of electrical appliances, but his
aim with a hammer wasn't good
enough.
His experience as associate
editor of his high school paper
helped him to land a job as re-
porter on the Bridgeport Post and
Telegram and for SIS a week extra
he drew a cartoon strip based on
the life of the famous Snowman,
P. T. Barnum.
But the newspaper Job didn't
last, and Walt went to work for
the Public Welfare Department as
clerk and investigator. When
that job also proved temporary
he tried clerking in an art supply
store, then set out for New York
to have a whirl at free-lance car
tooning.
The New York editors didn't
fall over one another trying to
buy his cartoons, however, so he
moved on to Hollywood and be-
came an animator in the Walt
Disney Studios. That same year
1937-he married.
In 1910 he returned to New
York to draw comic books. Two
years later he conceived the idea
of a comic picturing the antics
of Southern swampland animals

land Owl, Beauregard Bugleboy
Dog, Miss Hop Frog, Pollywog,
Chug Chug Duck the Postman,
George Fishinworm, and Pogo
Possum. At first, Pogo was merely
a supporting character, but he
soon stole the show.
The Pogo strip appeared in the
New York Star until that paper
went out of business, then was
taken over by the Post Hall Syn
dicate. Mr.. Kelly's native Phila-
delphia was the first city outside
of New York to print his comic.

AS for the cracker talk-well
Mr.. Kelly's house is beside a
swamp.
But" you may we'll object,
"Mr. Kelly's swamp and Pogo's
swamp, the Okefenokee. are
hundreds of miles apart. One is
in Connecticut, the other in
Georgia"
To which Rowland Owl, who
thinks he knows all the answers
will snort:
"Hmph! Doesn't you-all know
that all us swamp critters, in
cludin' caterpiggleS, talks alike?"
