Dining in williamsburg


It doesn't have q monopoly on
eating places in Colonial Will

he has visited the old capital
of the Virginia colony without
having eaten in one Of the res
taurants operated by the Res
toration.
Most usual for meal service.

fed dining room to q counter
where the fare could be q ham,
burger and q coke. are the facil-
tiles in the buildings where the
usual visitor stays, the Inn and
the Lodge.
The Inn bills itself as one of
Americas finest places to dine.
with special mention Of cream
soups and tasty salads. And
many a visitor knows the Inn
chiefly for the elaborate Sunday
night buffet suppers.
The dining room of the Lodge
features q wide variety Of popu-
lar meals. with the accent on
plate lunches, club sandwiches
and other dishes to speed the
time-crowded sight-seer through
busy schedule. The Lodge has
counter service, as well as tables
for groups. in its coffee shop.
Characteristic Pieces
Two other, places are char.
acteristic of what the Williams
burg visitor would expect, and
those who plan to be there
several days should include at
least one. They are the Kings
Arms Tavern and Chowning's
Tavern.
At the Kings Arms, the trav-
eler dimes in a candlelit room in
building reconstructed and fur
nished to give the 18th-century
atmosphere. Walters are dressed
in colonial costumes. Light
luncheons are featured. But
read some of the menu items:
Virginia ham, fried chicken, Sally
Lunn bread. escalloped oysters.
English mutton chops. peanut
soup and green gage ice cream.
Chowning's specializes in ale
house fare, such as Brunswick
stew, Welsh rarebit, pecan waf-
fles, cheeses. wines and beer and
ale on draft from oak kegs.
Weather permitting, steaks are
charcoal grilled in the garden
and served for dinner.

n IeaSI 1OF Tie eyes, plus du
air laden with favorite fra
GRANGE, is being brought into
bloom by nature in a famous
city in the upper Finger Lakes
region of New York State.
The showing and an impress
sive bit Of pageantry, dramatic
ing roses, will take place June
13 through 27 at Newark, N. Y.
There. more than 5000 acres are
devoted to the growing Of roses.
But, as every one knows who has
q particular affection for roses,
the beauty Of the rose gardens
and fields will continue long after
the pomp and tinsel have been
packed away until next year.
Last summer, half a million
visitors from most Of the States
streamed into the city Of about
10000 population. The opening
Of part of the New York Thru
way, which passes just south Of
the city, could increase this viS-
itor figure by the thousands this
year.
l7-ocre Rose Gorden-
Major attraction is a garden
Of IL acres, beautifled by millions
Of varied-colored rose blossoms
from mid-June into the summer.
More than $4,000 rose bushes
have been planted there in both
formal and informal sections.
The garden, open from June until
the fall frosts, was developed by
the jackson and Perkins Co. In
all, some 200 varieties Of roses
will be on display.
Another garden, fitted with
nurseryland objects and called
the Children's Story Book Gar
den. has been developed for ini-
tial presentation this year. It
will open June 10 in connection
with the festival.
Newark is situated on the his
toric Erie Canal. 80 miles east
Of Rochester.
Lower Bus Fares
Already widely known as an
economical means of travel, bus
lines are joining the lower-fare
movement.
The inducement is for groups
Of three or more making a round
trip together, not for the single
passenger or even the married
couple. For parents. it is an in
vitation to take along one or two
Of the children.
The latest fare concession is
offered by Pennsylvania Grey
hound Lines, and will become
effective June Is. Here's how
Greyhound is explaining the fare
savings to the public:
The rate will be one and
one-half times the one-way cost
Tor the round trip, with a return
limit of 80 days from the start
of the trip.
Some Areas Excluded
'For the purpose of calculating
this group rate. any two chill
dren between the ages of 5 and
II years will be considered as one
adult fare: so the father and
mother and two children, within
the age limits, may travel and
return together for one and one
half three one-way fares.
These fares apply on tickets
where the fare is So one way or
more. The reduced group rates

I'm TV Feature

MADISON, Wis. R-The inter
sectional nationally televiSed foot
ball game here tomorrow after
noon boils down to a dual attrac-
ton: Rice VS.. Wisconsin and Moe
gle VS.. Ameche.
The Ow..s from Houston and the
Badgers, both unbeaten, will clash
before a sellout crowd of 52,819 at
Camp Randall Stadium.
Wisconsin is rated third in this
weeks AP poll of the nations
teams, Rice 18th.
Most promising are the expected
performances of two of the ma.
tons topbacks-Rice's high flying
dervish Dicky Moegle, who has ex-
ploded for five touchdowns on 22O
yards in only Is carries, playing
less than half the time, and Wis
consin's mighty Alan Ameche, the
slashing, battering Horse" who
has ground out 234 yards in 35
attempts, scoring two touchdowns
in the process.
Ameche ranks 10th in the nation
in rushing, Moegle 18th. The Bad
ger fullback is famed for his re-
lentless power while the Owl de-
'pendable is remarkably shifty and
fast.
Badger Coach Ivy Williamson
commented:
1--WE have every reason to fear
Rice. The Owls are unusually fast,
deceptive and well coached. The
Rice line will outweigh ours but
isn't as deep in reserves"
The early season score sheet
