Food of Roman Epicures
By JEANNE LESEM
UPI Correspondent
r Vr rrrT
New Yori (UPI) The of fare that includes
business lunch Is as old as im
nerial Rome, according to
- - . JDCig
Alan Lewis, manager of a new served with Damascus plum
serves meals in the3 tradition
of early Rynan feasts.
The Romans talked shop a
orivate banquets beeause
there were no fancy restau
rants, he explained, but to-
dav'n VIP's do business in a
Dublic dining room as grand
as any banquet hall the Cae
sars knew, o
You don't have to be a busi
ness bcutive to eat at The
Forum of the Twelve Caesars
But in the few weeks it has
been open, this restaurant has
become a favorite iyich and

men and women.
The management, Restau

Interior in what it called
colors of Qncient Rome, with
dark red fabrics covering the
walls. Waiters ang captains
wear iackets in purple and
red. The etjablishment got its
name bm early Italiaa por
traits of the 12 Qpeftrs, which
bane on the walls.
Butthere's not a classical
coluntf in sight.
2he restaurant provides
conventional chairs and tables
and banquette seats instead of
the couches and low tables
of imperial Rome.
Fancy Items
And the menu is in Eng
lish, not LiJin.O
The food, however, is claim
ed to be authentically early
Roman.
"Straight from Apicius'
cookbook," said Lewis. "Api

the first to write about cook

Vegetables served whole, in

A staggering array of des

with a flaming sauce.
And so many other flaming
dishes that a guest almost
wishes he'd worn an asbes

History Lessons
The Forum may well be the
only restaurant in the world
that gives its staff history les
sons before sending1 them into
the dining room. "Many of
our guests are interested in
the history of the'period and
we like to answer as many of
their questions as we can,"
Lewis explained.
If the menu leads you to ex
periment at home with Ro
man recipes, we can offer
these hints from Apicius, via
the Forum:
Manv fowl and meat dishes
were cooked in a pickle mari

about your health. These men are not likely to be phy

your pharmacist's job to fill such prescriptions. Remember
what the door-to-door salesman sells best is words.

be pulled down to provide
low illumination needed for

Portland The biggest flo
ral clock in the world is being
planned for the International
Garden of Tomorrow, part of
the Oregon centennial exposi
tion at Portland next summer.
Edward L. Boatright, man
ager of the garden and re
tired assistant fire chief in
Portland, said the clock will
tell accurate time. The hands
and numbers alike will be
made of living flowers, and
the hands will be powered by
the works of an electric
clock. Mr. Boatright said the
works alone will be as big as
a desk.
Smaller clocks telling the
time at several capitals
around the world will flank
the huge exhibit, and flags
of the nations that send flow
ers and plants for the garden
will fly nearby.
Manager Boatright said a
floral clock at Washington,
D.C., is 26 feet across, and he
estimated that the Portland
display may be 30 feet In
diameter. -
The hearty ex-fireman de
clared: '
"Some way, we are going
to guarantee that a person can
see the whole clock at once
and photograohers can snaD
the whole thing without going
up in an airplane."
He said that for this pur
pose, it may be necessary to
build the clock on a slope,
with the 12 o'clock side high
er than the 6 o'clock side.
The idea for the clock comes
from Cnristchurch, New Zea
land, by way of Rolla J.
Crick, reporter for the Ore
gon Journal at Portland. Mr.
Crick saw the clock at Christ
church on his way back from
an assignment in Antartica
and suggested a similar dis
play at the Oregon centennial
exposition.
The Portland clock will be
self-starting, and if the elec
tricity should be cut off mo
mentarily, the clock will re
start itself. Boatright said
that in such an eventuality,
it will be re-set and tell'1 ac
curate time again.
Near the 12 o'clock side of
the clock will be a candle
which it is said will also be

Russian lynx.
Resort accessories get a lit
