Rotarians in Smyrna were
surprised to hear that the chick
en- dinner they were served at
the regular club meeting at The
Wayside Inn, would have been
a seldom enjoyed and expensive
meal in Norway. Einar Bergh,
Norwegian exchange student at
the John Bassett Moore High
School passed this comment
along to the members of the
Smyrna Rotary Club during his
talk about his country and its
customs. Pork and fish pro-
ducts are much more common
in his homeland of three and
one-half million people, Einar
said. Einar and his American
father" Guy M. Edmondson, Jr.,
were guests Of the club. The
young student also talked about
his country's problems as bor-
der state of the Soviet Union,
and told of the academic pro-
gram which he is required to
study in Norway. His country
has multiple party system of
government rather than the
two-party system in the United
States. Most American sports
are not common in Norway, but
soccer, skiing, and a game like
handball are quite common, he
said. TeenagerS enjoy many of
the same things in both coun-
tries, he continued, but in Nor
way few have cars and movie
drive-ins are unknown. Many
American students, he felt, did
not work very hard in school.
High school students in Nor

or the mathematics track"

the language track and started
the study of English in Grade 6.
He has also studied French and
German. Altho he has travelled

Lasagne, pride Of Naples
land Rome and Genoa, is by
now a naturalized American
favorite, second only in pop
ularity, among Italian dishes,
to the universal pizza. Layer
on layer, this classic dish is
constructed-paSta, cheeseS,
fish or meat, and tingling
tomato sauce, built to pro-
duce a bubbling harmony OF
flavorSl
Long history dictates the
general formula for making
this superb Italian speciality;
in fact some historians hint
the dish goes back to China
and came to the Mediterra-
mean world by way Of Marco
Polo. Good cooks have been
making it, and experiment.
ing with judicious additions
and amendments ever since.
In the newest all-American
version of the classic, MOI
zarella, cottage cheese and
Parmesan are the threesome
Of cheeses whose subtleties Of
flavor and texture combine
to inspire the dish, along
with tuna fish, and the teas
ing charms Of spices and to-
matoes in q rich sauce.
In its native land, the la
sagne features ricotta (the
Italian speaking member Of
the cottage cheese family
along with the other cheeses.
For this newest Americanized
version, creamed cottage
cheese adds decided and de-
lightful flavor to the lasagne
combination. Slightly beaten
eggs are added to the cottage
cheese custom among the
fine cooks Of Genoa. The to-
mato sauce, with its hint Of
garlic, its parsley. basil and
oregano, is adapted from an
ancient Neapolitan recipe.
Tuna fish is suggested for
the central layer of this ex-
ceptionally zestful lasagne.
Equally good, however, is
cooked chopped beef, or
chunks Of lobster or shrimp.
Lasagne noodles. broad, flat
and rippled at the edges, have
a very special design and sub
stance. Cooking by package
directions produces the ex-
actly right texture to make
the finished dish most pleas
ing.
Since lasagne is a hearty
main dish. as well as q
delightful one, it needs little
else to accompany it. Crisp
greens and tossed vegetables
with light oil and vinegar
