ONTARIO ____________TUSA.MY2.15 COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG, TEME TURNED BACK As many of 3-au know, we bave just rcturned from a trip soutb. the chief objectives being Wil- liamsburg, Virginia, and Wash- ington, D.C. We bad cead enougb about Williamsbucg ta know that it was a place wbicb would attcact us grcatly, and we hasten ta say that t exceeded ex-en aur ligb- est expectations. We little tliougbt when writing a few months ago about the British flag of the eigbteentb centucy flying from its Capital building that wc would soon be witnessing that sight. Wiliamsburg from 1699 ta 17801 was the proud capital of the "Old Dominion" of Virginia, anc of the oldest British colonies in Amer- ira, Englisb colonists having land- ed at Jamestown scvcn miles dis- tant, in 1607, and establisbcd a settiement tliere. The capital was moved tramn Jamestown ta Wil- lîamsburg in 1699 because the macshes about Jamestowiî wce unheaitby, and public buildings had been dcstroyed by ire. The "restoced area" of Wil- liamsbucg today is that portion of the town, romplete with public buildings, bouses and sbops, as laid ont by Franîcis Nicholsonî, governor of the rolony tramn 1698 to 1705. Tbe govemnor's tawn planninîg, surely the ficst on this continent, resulted iii a beautiful and fitting capital for this impac- tant British calony. Its main avenue, Duke of Gloucester Street, runs tbrough the centre of the tawn, seven-eiglîths of a mile in length. with the capital building at anc end and the Col- lege of William and Mary, second oldest college in the United States, recix-ing ils charter fram the ICrown (n 1693. at the other.

BEAUTY AND GRACE Thece are eight buildings open ta tbe public and of these onl3' tlîrec bad ta be eîîtirely recan- stcucted.

Visitars may ride about old Williamsburg ini these equipages, and many enjay this leisurel, and apprapriate mode of travel. Ini restored or rebuilt sbaps along the streets, rraftsmen such as wcavers, cabinetmakers, wig- makers, a blacksmith and a print- er, puy their trades in the old manner, in period dress.

Several of the inns and taveros whicb served the Virginia plant- ers 200 years aga, naw recon- structed, serve modemn visitors, the waiters wearing period dress. In the evening, dinner is served by candlelight. In the evening, the Capital Building is lit by the safrt glow of hundreds of candles in the big crystal chandeliers, and on cer- tain evenings concerts by randie- ligbt are given in the ballroomn of the Gavernor's Palace. The re- flection of candlelight fro mpol- isbed walnut, mabagany and crys- tai in these beautiful rooms is trnly breatb-taking.

THE '«OLD DOMINION" CRADLE 0F INDEPENDENCE Virginia played an important cale in sbaping the histary of the .United States. On May 13, 1776, the Virginia Delegates,metn at the capital, Williamsburg, adopted the Virginia Indepemi- dence Resolution, wmitten by Thomas Jefferson, which was la- her adopted by the General Con- gress of the colonies at Philadel- phia, and becamne on July 4, 1776, the Amecican Deciaratian of In- dependence. It was ta cammemomate the 177tb annivecsary of thc Virginia Independeuîce Resolution, that President Eisenhower visited Wil- liamisbucg on May 15, 1953 (ane day befoce we eached it, unfor- tnnately) and spoke in the Hanse of Burgesses in the Capital Build- ing wheme the Resolution was un- aniniously passed in 1776. Before bim, on loan from the National archives, Washington, was the original document. By the lime xve were touring Washington on May 18 and 19. that document was back in ils place in the Ar- chiîves. and we wece tbrillcd ta sec it there. Mi-.

Four presidents of the United States hav'e been graduates of the Callege of William and Mary: -Wasbington, Jefferson, Monroe and Tyler. George Wytbe, a law- ycr, and leading Vicgiîîian, was also a graduate and became the first professor of law at the Col- lege. In hîs office, Jefferson, a student at tbe College, studied lawv, and Wythe is ccedited with doing mare ta shape Jcfferson's ideas than any ather man. Thîis was a fine achievement indeed, for Thomas Jefferson, wba later became Governar of tbe Com- monwealth of Virginia and Presi- dent of the United States was one of the finest statesmen. scholars and gentlemen that the United States pcoduced. Incidentally, the bouse of George Wytbe, (pconounced ta chyme with Smitb) built in 1754, is ane of tbe exhibition buildings in Colonial Williamsburg, and has been in continuous use since its ecection. It is beautifully ftîr- nisbcd in the period of tbe times, and the gardens at the back of the hause bave been îestored.

He vis- h ualized the days of bis youtb k when he would visit -Roselandale i- Farm", at Sauina (the home of eUncle Wnî. Werry), and see racks -of apples in the pracess of being -dried, high up over the kitchen lt stove. Then at a later visit at this hospitable home Auntie Werry' would serve her famous dried apple pie, and the pitcher was handy, ta smother it in rich raw cream.

Don't take aur word 1efor it, but read what the editor of the Journal bas ta say about .fdried apple pie in a reminiscent *mood: The countryman views with deepenhng disquiet the progressive debilitation of the culinary situa- tion, reports the Ottawa Journal.

In general. of course, a man 1wants bis apple pies made of -fresh fruit. He isn't going ta rstand up in meeting and argue 2that a dried-apple pie is as satis- Lvi*ng as a fresh ane. But once in a w bile he gets a hankering for ra wedge of old-fashioned dried- apple pie. *Hall a century ago, many housewives planned ta peel, quar- ter, core and slice two or three Cbushels of apples for a supply of tthe dried fruit. 0f the some 15,- (00 namned varieties and sub-var- ieties of apples none equals the Northern Spy for dried-app]e t pies.

Tbere is nothing coniplicated about an acceptable dried-apple pie. The slices must be saaked in cold water for several haurs. UJse plenty of sugar and flour an tbe bottom crust ta insure crisp, cruncbiness. The pie sbould be ane and seven-sixteenth inches deep. Be generous with the nut- meg and cinnaman and toss in a hLndful of raisins. Tbrow in some lemon juice ta bring out tbeflia- vor of the apples: sprinkle sugar and flour over the apples.
