MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDlT, AUGUST "10, I93i. 3 What to Do When the Family Shouts, "We Want to Go on a Picnic!" MANY CENTURIES Romans, Saxons, Normans Have Sought Steaming Waters of English Spot- Many Still Find Relief WASHINGTON. D. O, (8pclal) Bath, Eng., bom of ths Bath bun and medicinal springs used since prs Roman days, Is also ths plsc whro ebsrmlng Smlly Lunn first baked th famous sweetened tea cakes that bear her name. Reopening of her oglnl nal bow-windowed shop In LllUput Alley reawakens Interest In this quaint city, once the most fashion able watering place In England. "Situated on the Avon, about 19 miles soutb of Bristol, Bath's gray stone houses climb In parallel ter races up the encircling green bills. Famous ss the town where England's 18th century life and culture came Into flower, Batb la noted also be csuse It contains more Roman ruins tban any other English city," says a bulletin from ths Washington, D. O., headquarters of the National Geo graphic Society. "Roman relics un earthed during recent excavations, although extensive, form only a mea ger part of the original Roman buildings which underlie practically the entire foundations of Bath. Romans Made It Resort "Bath's turbulent history began about 44 A. D. Roman legions storm ing westward through the Avon val ley found Britons bathing In the me dicinal Springs of Sul Rededlcatlng tbe springs to Minerva, Romans sur rounded them with elaborate mosaic baths, temples and villas. Here swarmed gouty magistrates and wounded warriors to recuperate. "Ruined by the Saxons, again by tbe Romans, Bath became a desolate elty, Its hot springs flooding broken corridors. When Queen Elizabeth vis ited the city she found it unsanitary, Its Inhabitant disorderly. In spite ox dirt and discomfort, however, Bath's healing springs drew a steady Influx of visitors. The batha pre aented a curious sight when motley mobs of loose-robed men and women wading up to their necks In the teaming water. "Made fashionable finally by the visit of Queen Anne, Bath became England's most popular spa. Invalid nobility, nouveaux riches, doctors, deml-mondes and gamblers flocked to tbe resort. Most famous among the Utter was the dandy, Beau Nash, whose dazzling arrival marked the be ginning of refinement and greatest prosperity. Until then, although kings sometimes held their courts there, Bath was still a maze of equal. Id bouses crowded together on sordid where pedestrians were attacked by footpads and taunted by owners of Bath chairs. Women were frequently Insulted, and men danced In muddy boots, wesrlng swords, which they drew at the slightest provocation. Beau Nash, Genial Despot "Beau Nash, upon being made mas ter of ceremonies at Bath, made rules forbidding dueling and wearing of sword while dancing. He had the mean streets paved end lighted, a handsome assembly room built for gemlng, and engaged a band for dancing. Blazing In gold lace, over shadowed by an Immense white beav er bat (which be selected reputedly because no one could steal It), Beau Nash was a picturesque figure. Un der his genial despotism, frlvoloue life at Bath proceeded gaily with many quaint customs. New arrivals at Bath were heralded by fiddling waits and ringing ohurch bells. At tendance at the gaming tables wse preceded each evening by participa tion In the service at the Abbey church. "Bath becoming cramped, the ar chitects, Senior and Junior, rebuilt It In terraces, crescents and squares on the surrounding hills. Two thor oughfares which particularly pleased 18th century classic worshippers are the great curved streets called the 'circuses.' whose crescent rows of lonlc-plllared houses front vset lswns and tree-filled parks. "Many architects consider Bath the best sltusted and most nobly built English city.- calling It th 'Florence I v r-iSiit Plcmc klt mowing a Chicken and I Vv VcA Vegetable Salad in glass jar. Pj.,h?!L V 'fe-vtS 3 SSfSSJSJ 3 ISJ What a fascination a meal out of doors holds for most of ual Ah soon as a week-end or a holiday comes along, we take hold of the slightest exouse to have a picnic, pro vlded we don't have to exert ourselves too much over the preparation. And now the grocers of Medford. have de cided to hold a special week offer ing picnic Items that should be in every pantry. To make the day Just as little of a burden es possible, It Is a good Idea to take along some satisfying sand wiches and a substantial salad. A sandwich mixture that can be easily prepared and a salad that can bo carried along In a Jar and opened at the picnic are good to keep In mind. To keep the sandwiches fresh and pre vent them from drying, the bread should be spread liberally with may onnaise or mayonnaise used In the filling. If the picnic salad Is made up at home, It should be cold to begin with and carried In a tightly cov ered container. Lettuce should be wrapped In wax paper first and then put Into a container. Some canned or fresh fruit, a soup, and a few cook ies make your picnic complete. Here are some suggestions for your next picnic: Piquant Egg Sandwiches oup relish spread j 3 hard-cooked eggs, finely chopped Blend ingredients thoroughly and spread on thin slices of wholewheat bread. ploy Peanut Butter Sandwiches Blend peanut butter and relish spread, and spread on thin slices of white bread.

"After Bath's heydey ss a fashion resort passed, It still drew artists and writers, as Greenwich Village does today, to describe Its unique life. Most 18th century novels oontaln ref erences to It. Frequenters of Bath were Dickens, Scott, Goldsmith, Wads- worth. Sheridan, Fielding, ord Nel son, Lord Chesterfield, Dr. Johnson snd James Boawell. It wss In Bath that Sally Fairfax, beloved of George Washington, died. Bath Inspired Gainsborough's most besutlful land scapes. Springs Contain Ksdlura "Bath today resembles an ancient grand dame,' dreaming over past balls; somewhat faded, but still keep ing up appearances. Though no longer England's most fashionable re sort, carriages bearing crests still drive through the streets of Bsth to discharge well dressed people st ex pensive shops. But chairs, like huge perambulators, roll leisurely through lovely gsrdens and pause at the ubiquitous book stall. "Sheltered from the prevailing westerlies by encircling hills. Bsth is unusually healthy and ha a very low death rate. Invalids find the mild winter climate of contral Bnth con genial, while those who prefer more oracing climate find the air on the surrounding breezy heights peculiarly iresn ana sweet. "Many people are still attracted to Bsth, as have visitors for over 2.000 yeers. by Its medlclnsl waters. Its three hot springs yield half a million gallons dally.
