Shirley Makes Aprons
In a rather old-fashioned
way. Shirley Homer has
been helping to keep
housewives around the
world neat and tidy. Mrs.
Homer makes aprons,

seamstress' house at Blade

the northwestern outskirts
of Toronto. •'lite aprons

says, -by visitors from
almost every country in the

As official seamstress of
the mid -1800s living

the corner of Steeles Ave.

demonstrates the day-to-
day life of a dressmaker of
the 1850s.

The Look Ahead
A new year is now here and everyone is asking "What is it
going to be like' "
Stock market analysts are predicting bigger and better
things for their place of business. Retailers feel that this
Christmas has shown that consumers are willing to spend
again, so they are more confident. Manufacturers are not
quite so keen because our exports have been slipping
downwards from their dizzy heights, but they are not bad.
But then there is government' William Davis' government
is still giving away a five percent increase when we are all
trying to get inflation down to two percent. Mr. Davis' gang
has slapped more taxes on gasoline (which translates into
inflation for the movement of goods and services) as well as
killing the tourist industry with heavy taxes on liquor and
sales taxes on hotel rooms ( tourism could be our most im-
portant money maker in 1984 1.
Let's not look at Ottawa and the federal scene because
more than a glance would depress even the most fantastic
optimist. That government is still building a huge debt for
all o: us to bear. People out of work still draw money - but
don't work - so their morale ( and the morale of the rest pay-
ing the billions of unemployment insurance) is very low.
Those of us who are working are paying more into govern-
ment to make up for those who are not paying in ( the
unemployed). It is a no-win situation because our Ottawa
government is dishing out money in the form of grants, han-
douts• loans etc. at an unbelievable rate. Of course, those
who watch government know that the federal government
hasn't been run by politicians for many years - and the civil
servants and political henchmen who do run this country
really don't know what they are doing.
What would you do to convect our economic ills' Well, first
of all it is sad for people to be out of work more than a month
because most humans' morale goes downhill. So we would
increase the inflow of the armed forces to take in up to
250,000 men and women. Never mind making armaments -
let's get our human military resources in order. Besides, it
is no more expensive than having than on unemployment
insurance.
And let's pressure the U.S. Treasury to get the interest
rates down. We can't make this economy work unless in-
terest rates drop at least two more percent. Then there are
the banks. These institutions today are least receptive to
small private entrepreneurs than ever before. Big business
can np banks off for billions, but let small enterprise fail for
just $100.0w and them is a hue and cry from those bankers.
Of course, once again this is a federal matter and we won't
get any action on this until we have a change of govern-
ment.
We could have everyoneworking in this country. We need
imagination. know-how and intelligence, three ingredients
in short supply it seems.
But don't be discouraged. Individual Canadians by sheer
guts can overcame all of these obstacles. Just believe and

Review Is Overdue For Municipal
by George E H. King, President-eiect of tM Toronto Real
Estaa Board
-We wonder w•hy it has taken so long for high-level
criticism of the federal non-profit housing program to
emerge in Ottawa. The federal minister responsible for
housing has been quoted as saying that man who benefit
do not need public assistance, but without indicating an end
to the program or a rra )or overhaul. CMHC says mnstruc-
tion costs for projects built under the program could be 60
percent higher than for pnvate dwellings and operating
costs about :3u percent higher than for private -sector ac-
commodation.
"The Toronto Real Estate Board has made it plain in re-
cent years that we have had serious doubts about the pro-
gram from its inception - particularly municipal run -profit
housing. We believe that the City of Toronto tion -Profit
Housing Corporation ( Cityhome ) should never have been
established.
"There most certainly are many people who because of
age, illness, disability or other reasons are unable to obtain
the housing they require without public assistance. Pro-
viding this housing through a federally subsidized plan is a
legitimate role for churches, service clubs. Legion bran-
ches or other community organizations but we cannot see
putting a municipal government into the housing business.

"It seemed strange to us that anyone should expect Cana-
dians at large to keep municipal councillors popular by con-
tributing these very large subsidies to lower Citybome's
mortgage costs. while the bureaucracy in charge continued
to make a significant proportion of the units available to
people perfectly able to provide their own housing. Why did
it take so many years for the government to see that this
policy was wrong' Occupancy of that sort should have been
made a taxable benefit long ago.
"Those who favour this housing policy say ghettos are to
be avoided. A better way to do that would be to pay shelter
allowances directly to people needing assistance to obtain
the housing they need.
%%1"hheavily subsidized housing is made available to
just about anybody, taxpayers naturally feel that they are
being treated cynically. If the state houses people perfectly
capable of housing themselves without subsidies, the
government is really weakening the moral fibre of the na-
tion. We don't like policies that increase dependence on any
government.
"We like the approach of the United Kingdom government
which has encouraged municipal authorities to sell hun-
dreds of thousands of units of "council housing" to tenants
in recent years.
"A great weakness of the Citybome program is the lack of
any opportunity for that. We recommended it to Mayor
Crombie in the early days of Cityhome. Our President in
1980 told a committee of the Ontario Government which was
hearing comments on housing policy that, if the City of
Moderation Message
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has embarked on a
public awareness campaign to discourage people from
drinking and driving. As a pilot project, four L.C.B.O.
stores across Metro Toronto are being supplied with liquor
bags bearing the message IF YOU DRINK DON'T DRIVE.
"Consumer reaction to the bags at the stores has been so
positive. we are considering extending it across the pro -
vine." said Dr. Robert Elgie, Minister of Consumer and
Commercial Relations.
The project was initiated by the ministry in co-operation
with the Attorney General's anti -drinking and driving cam-
paign. "We believe that the liquor bag warning can ac-
complish two things. It will add support to the
government's campaign on drinking and driving by
creating yet another avenue for getting the message out. It
also gets the attention of the consumer at the source," said
Dr. Elgie.

Dear Miss Brenda.
knowI know very little about etiquette and am realizing its im-
portance in many social situations. What is the most impor-
tant lesson to learn?
Dear Reader,
Congratulations. You have just graduated from lesson
number 1. Being aware that etiquette is not only important
but meaningful can lead you to the knowledge you seek
about the subject.
Although what is done in the privacy of your home is your
own concern, it is a good place to begin. Etiquette unfolds
itself to a world of good behaviour and the manners sur-
rounding it becoming a way of life and gives one a sense of
security and confidence in dealing with others.
Librarians can be very helpful to assist you in finding a
book on the subject. There are some good books available at
the book stores as well.

•� Notes
by D. Kirby
The annual Christmas
show for the Legion Village
Home was held on Sun.
Dec. 18, and was put on by
the various branches of the
Royal Canadian Legion.
Zone Commander Val
Haley of Branch 614
welcomed the audience and
passed the show over to the
Mistress of Ceremonies,
.Dee Mercer of Branch 345.
The Pipe Band under the
direction of Pipe Major
John Ballie, and Ilium Ma-
jor Joseph Evans was a
tremendous success.
They opened the show
and were asked to return
towards the end of the
show. These men and
ladies just formed the band
in the spring of this year
and have done a lot of good
work for Branch 258, and
the seniors.
Gloria Foote of Branch
258, started the party -like
atmosphere with a sing -a-
long, with many of the
seniors joining in. Gloria
really picks the tunes they
like.
Next came the ladies of
Branch 258 who gave us
their rendition of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.
These Ladies were called
the Roval Canadian Legion
Mounted Police and they
are great! Their uniforms
and horses cannot be beat,
in fact they have been
bonoured by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police
who gave each of them a
badge, horse and mountie,
whKh they wear with great
pride -

Nelson Eddy and Jeanette
McDonald singing "When
I'm Calling You".
Betty Raynes of Branch
73, another beautiful
singer, was just great. Bet-
ty sang some of the old
time songs that are so
welcome at this time, and
she comes to participate
whenever we ask.
The ladies of Branch 614,
dressed as clowns, were
fabulous, so funny in their
clown dress -ups. They also
brought along goodies for
the folk, so they mingled
with the seniors and gave
each and everyone a bag of
goodies. They were a riot,
and so kind.
The Fat Girls Chorus
Line of Branch 345 ladies
was something to behold,
never has so much fat roll-
ed around the Legion
Village Home as did these
ladies on this Sunday. They
tried to kick their little fat
legs, only to fall to the
floor. Just great!
The lady that followed
these fatties, was a young
lady Jessie Robertson -
what a voice - she needed
no mike, no music, her
voice was music enough.
When she sang ..Amazing
Grace- there wasn't a
sound to be heard. This
young lady is not a member
of the Legion, but donates
her time to us, not only for
this show, but she came
along with ail the others to
entertain at Sunnybrook
Hospital. This lady will go
far with such a Lovely
voice.
Bill Hinds of Branch 73
who never seems to tire of
singing, along with Ron
Baker at the piano enter-
tained these people with a
lot of songs. Many people
call Bill the Zone D-5
"Roger Whittaker". He
completed his songs with
the fine old number "Ole
Man River". It was
wonderful.
Two ladies from Branch
345, K. Reeve and Betty
Goodman mimed Maurice
Chevalier and Hermine
Gingold with "I Remember
It Well". Very well done
ladies.
Gloria Foote came back
on stage to sing a few more
songs, which the audience
loved, and Gloria finished
up with "I'll Be Home for
Christmas".
The Pipers returned to
play. and Dee Mercer in-
troduced each and every
are of the band. They even
offered to play more, but
we had to draw the show to
a close as the dining room
was to be prepared for din-
ner. for the residents.
But, the show could not
close until Santa and his
reindeers and helpers ar-
rived. The Santa was Ed.
Kosma who arrived in a
wheelchair, drawn by his
helpers. They mingled with
the folk and passed out
more godies, candy canes,
etc. The clowns were there
to join in with Santa.
The afternoon closed
with everyone singing "We
Wish You A :Merry
Christmas".

local alderman. A case in
point is Kennedy Rd. and
Ward 12 Alderman Bob
Aaroe.
Metro planners want to
widen Kennedy Rd. bet-
ween the 401 and Sheppard
Ave. to seven lanes. Aaroe
wants it widened to only
five lanes. The fight to get
what he wants is going to
be an uphill one all the way.
Even if he can persuade
Scarborough Council to
back him, he still has to
persuade Metro staff who
highly influence the deci-
sions of Metro Council.
Since Metro Council can do
whatever it wants with one
of its own roads. the chance
of Aaroe being able to get
enough Metro Council
members to go against
their own staff recommen-
dation is slim.
What makes the fight even
more difficult for Aaroe is
that Scarborough's own
planners have come out in
Wed. Jan. 4, 1984 THE NE~OST Pa" 3
4orth Of 401
support of Metro staff's
position. Originally, Scar-
borough planners had con-
cluded that it would be
enough to widen Kennedy
to five lanes.
Metro's decision to widen
Kennedy to seven lanes is
based on development
potential in the area bound-
ed by Finch, Ellesmere,
Birchmount and Midland.
Metro is forecasting that
within five years 950
residential units, 3,300 of-
fice employees and 70,000
more sq. ft. of commercial
space could come on
stream in this area.
Within to years, develop-
ment could add another 60
residential units and 1,060
industrial jobs. All this
potential development re-
quires three lanes on Ken-
nedy southbound, three
lanes northbound and a
continuous left turn lane.
Metro has concluded.
But Aaroe does not see
things in quite the same
way. He believes that the
only addition Kennedy Rd.
needs is an extra lane for
turns. Before anything is
done to Kennedy, Metro
should complete its grid
system by the addition of
the controversial Brimley
Rd. interchange and by the
widening of Sheppard Ave.
Aaroe says.
One of Aaroe's main con-
cerns is the effect of any
further widening on the ex-
isting homes on the west
side of Kennedy Rd.
Metro has already ex-
propriated some of the land
but the actual widening
would leave these residents
with a seven lane roadway
on their front steps.
These people not only
have had their property
devalued but face ever-
increasing traffic noise and
pollution. Aaroe says.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Amadeus is the current at-
traction at the Royal Alex.
The title refers to the mid-
dle name of Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart con-
sidered by many to be the
greatest musical genius of
all time.
Whether he is or isn't is
not for this scribbler to of-
fer opinion. What is
manifest is the genius of
the man. Deficiencies of
character, personality and
intellect there might well
have been but the essential
genius is beyond dispute.
Mozart is the fulcrum of
the play and yet he is not
the central character. The
Sun he is but the star he is
not.
( Yes, astronomers, we
the
of the
j nten
but allow us some literary
licence.) The starring role
is that of Antonio Salieri.
Few popular books of
musical references even
mention Salieri and yet he
was Mozart's contem-
porary and a far more suc-
cessful man. Material
reward's and honours were
heaped upon him in abun-
dance. Yet, he was not a
happy man.
Why? Well, he was just
musically sound enough to
recognize that his music
was nothing compared to
that of Mozart. Further,
Salieri was initially, a good
man, a man who had
dedicated his life to the
glory of God through music
in repayment of his vow
made to do so if the Creator
would so allow him.
Mozart, on the other hand
was an immature libertine
and vulgar conversa-
tionalist. Yet, music flowed
from him effortlessly. In-
deed, his musical composi-
tions, notwithstanding the
speed of their writing,
never required second
drafts.
Salieri's mind twisted and
he determined to thwart
Mozart. not just because of
his effortless genius but
because God had apparent -

places to go
ly chosen the latter as the
conduit of His music rather
than Salieri. Mozart would
be thwarted but, more than
that, God would be defied.
The play then is the retell-
ing in flashback by Salieri
of how he set his evil plans
into motion and of what
were the final results of his
machinations. It is a work
made for the Theatre.
Oh, one supposes that a
motion picture could be
made of it but we cannot
see how it could be effec-
tive. It's too wordy and
relatively static for the
screen. A legitimate
theatre is required for full
appreciation of the rolling
elegancies of playwrite
Peter Shaffer, the
sometime intimacies of
Mozart music, the
dramatic and fast changes
of scene and of lighting
mood.
Too, the period costumes
must be seen up close - not
close up - to be enjoyed to
the fullest.
The play is the thing
though and one supposes it
would stand up well in a
church basement or even
as a reading. But, oh haw
pleasurable are the produc-
tion values of this company
and haw fine are the perfor-
mances of the principals.
As Salieri, Philip
Pleasants is something
( we've chosen the word
carefully) to be seen and
beard at all costs. He
moves back and forth with
seeming effortless ease
between the aged hulk of
well toned despair and the
middle years man of ambi-
tion and intrigue.
His voice is classically
trained and he cou lcl make
Mr. Shaffer's words spring
alive merely reading them
over the 'phone but au-
diences are also vouchsaf-
ed the pleasure of his
superb body movement
and almost inspired reac-
tions_
One recognizes that much
of it is stage craft but so
well done that it is to be ad-
mired as well as enjoyed
Like most Torontonhans we
prefer farm that finds the
passion rather than passion
that seeks the form.
Anyway, the role of Salieri
is so demanding that it can-
not be played eight times a
week. At matinees the role
is played by Jonathan
Farwell who usually plays
the role of von Strack. One
can visualize him as
Salieri. He has a fine
presence and, like Mr.
Pleasants, a beautiful
speaking voice.
Mozart is played by Ed
Hodson and, we believe,
played well. If we seem to
be fudging it's because Mr.
Hodson is apparently true
to the role .. as written by
Mr. Shaffer and we suspect
that the latter has taken far
more licence with the
character of Mozart than
proper study should justify.
Mozart was weak, maybe
even epicine but he was not
vulgar and obscene.
Regardless Mr. Hodson is
true to the written
character and to his direc-
tion and succeeds in
presenting a slip of a lad
for whom one is hard press-
ed to feel anything more
than the common pity of
humanity.
Though we should like to
mention more of the cast
individually time and
space permit only the
following. Robert Loyd is
most effective as the weak
but well bred Joseph 1I,
Emperor of Austria.
His "So there it is then..
could well become the next
fad phrase a la "Would you
believe?" so well it is
delivered. We urge you also
to observe the performance
of Charles Rule as Orsini -
Rosenberg, a porcine
cultural bigot. Hun, you
can hate!
You could hate Amadeus
too if you seek only froth
which is the way many ap-
proach the works of
Mozart. But, if you seek a
walk of substance. in the
manner of all lovers of
Mozart, you will loran it.
We cannot think of a more
auspicious way in which to
begin a new year of theatre
than to see and enjoy
Amadeus. Here's a little

IN PRINT:
At the beginning of a new
year most people resolve
they will start reading
"Really good books". By
that they mean books that
are instructive as well as
pleasurable.
Among the duties of our
profession is the singular
privilege of reading many
such books and we have
one now that we wish to
recommend. It's Ideas Of
The Great Psychologists by
Samuel Smith (Fitzhenry &
Whiteside).
The jacket notes proclaim
that it is designed for
students and general
readers. We could not
agree more.
It wasn't until the late
nineteenth century that
psychology emerged as a
science (an inexact one in
our view) in its own right.
Some of the great
psychologists discussed in
this work were known in
their time as physiologists
or even, phikeopets. Over
the years they were likely
to contribute to more than
one area of study - for ex-
ample, perception, emo-
tions; and learning.
This volume brings
together these influential
thinkers, ancient and
modern, under subject
headings that are found in
today's introductory
psychology textbooks. Fur-
ther, the subjects are
chronologized so that the
reader perceives the
development of Psychology
as a science from the broad
viewpoint of retrospective
consideration.
We will not pretend that
this is easy reading but we
insist that it is pleasurable
and we need not point out
its value both in its initial
reading and as a reference.
My goodness, an page 26
for example, a single
paragraph lists and ex-
plains all six schools of
modern psychology. We
blush to admit it but only
now do we have a fuller
understanding of the
Gestaltists.
The book is recommended
for your Wgruciion and
pleasure without reserva-
tion.
ON RECORD:
We have some reserva-
tions about recommending
Stay With Me/Glen Yar-
borough (A. & M.) .
Generally, popular singers
who have distinctive, even
unusual voices and Glenn
Yarborough's is certainly
distinctive, even unusual -
have mixed followings.
Either they are liked and
appreciated or they are
not. Yarborough however,
seems able to confound
one's appreciation. We can-
not pretend that we care
for his high tremolo and yet
we find ourself listening to
it with something akin to
pleasure.
The pleasure, for us at any
rate, is short lived though.
We find a little of him goes
a long way. An L.P. at a
time is about our limit.
This latest one is pleasant.
In fact it might just be the
best he's done for some
time. We enjoyed two
selections in particular.
I've Only Kissed Her Good-
night and I Could Have
Been A Sailor could make
it, we believe, as singles.
There's a certain irony in
the latter since Yar-
borough is indeed a sailor.
Perhaps that's why he's
able to put so much emo-
tion into the song.
A good album on the whole
and certainly one to be en-
joyed by his established
fans. ON THE TUBE
Another resolve made by
many in a new year is to
quit smoking. This Friday,
Global T.V. starts a three
part series titled Time To
Quit under the auspices of
the Canadian Cancer socie-
ty and the Federal Depart-
ment of Health and
Welfare.
It's hosted by William
Shatner and our advance
reports tell us that it's a
series well worth one's at-
tention-
we snow many people
who have given up smoking
.. several times.
FAST EXIT:
We read that for many
turtles the courting period
is marked by a ceremony
in which the two stand fac-
ing each other, slowly nod-
ding their beads up and
down and from side to side.
Seems to us that such ac-
tions can be observed
anytime in a singles bar.

Sports Report By Glenn Sutherland
METRO JUNIOR B LEAGUE
The Wexford Raiders
didn't start the new year
off in a good fashion as they
tied the Weston Dukes on
the road and lost to the
Pickering Panthers at
Scarboro Arena.
On Friday John
Christofilos had the hot
hand again as he potted
three goals with others go-
ing to Drew Duncan and
Dave Armstrong. Penalties
I urt the Dukes as three of
Wexford's five goals were
power play markers.
Kevin Willis played the
nets for Wexford as the two
teams tied at 41 shots each.
The teams were tied at 0-0
at the end of the first and
Wexford was leading 3-2 at
the end of two.
Scarboro Arena was the
scene of another Wexford
loss as they succumbed to
the Pickering Panthers by
the score of 6-3 after being
behind 2-1 and 3-2 at the end
of the first two periods.
Dave Barton was between
the pipes again but it
wasn t a case of having no
defense. It was Pickering
that had all the defence.
They stopped Wexford
everythme up the ice and
halted Wexford's bigg scor-
ing line of Chrisfofilos-

MASTERS SWIM CLUB
The Masters Swim club is a blend of recreational and com-
petitive swimming for adults based on regular workouts.
Training is similar to competitive programs. It is not a
learn -to -swim program, nor is it restricted to those who
have previous experience in competitive swimming. You
measure your progress by the distances you swim, the time
you take to complete a series, the shorter rest periods you
need during the workouts and the general feeling of well be-
ing after a workout.
Most swimmers soon realize that swim meets give the
swimmers an opportunity to evaluate their progress and to
socialize with people of similar interests, however you do
not have to take part in swim meets.
The Swim Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday even-
ing between 10 and 11 p.m. at the Complex pool. Practices
will be posted in the pool area. so you may schedule your
f
own training times. The Masters Club will be affiliated with
the Pickering Blue Dolphins Swim Club. Members of the
Masters Swim Club will also be members of the Canadian
Amateur Swimming Association ( Ontario Section). Fee is

Speaking

Scott Fennel M.P.
Ontario Riding
Last week. John Roberts. the :Minister for Employment
and Immigration_ announced that the Government would
be allocating new funds to the Canada Works program. Mr.
Roberts proclaimed to all that these additional funds will
provide direct employment for the many unemployed.
As I have mentioned to the past, 1 am not a supporter of
these make-work projects or Government hand-outs. I
realize that some of the projects do provide valued ex-
penence for those involved• and some also provide very
necessary services.
But what bothers me the most is that the projects do not
provide permanent employment. Once the required
number of work w eeks have been completed, the employees
find the-*nselves back in the unemployment lines.
Each constituency has already received a minimum of
$100.000which was to be divided up between the many ap-
plications submitted for the program. Ridings which have a
Labour surplus over 8% were now entitled to receive addi-
tional funding, to an attempt to increase employment op-
porturuties. I was advised last week by the Munster. that
Ontario Riding will not be receiving an increase in our allot -
tment as our labour surplus is only 6%.
We should not be disappointed that we do not qualify for
extra funds. particularly when you consider that some
areas in Canada have an unemployment rate as high as
16%: w•e should consider ourselves very lucky that ours is
only 6%. 1 feel that you should also be congratulating
yourselves. as it is through your ingenuity and hard work
that keeps the unemployment levels as low as they are. I
am very proud to represent the residents of Ontario Riding,
who continually demonstrate their ability to overcome pro-
blerrms and work together toward a bigger and better future.

Cut & Wrapped To Your
Satisfaction
At No Extra Charge
by Henry J. Moore
Armchair travelling can
be fun when your imagina-
tion is coupled with a glass
of good wine. Let me take
you on such a journey from
the north of Italy to the
south, and sample some of
the lovely wines from the
sunny land of Enotria, so
named by the ancient
Greeks who discovered Ita-
ly to be the land of the
vines.
Our first stop is in the
region of Friuli, a next door
neighbour to Austria. Here
we sip a fresh Pinot Grigio
made from the grape of the
same name.
The wine is light and frui-
ty with a lovely aftertaste
and goes well with some
delicious Prosciutto ham
and Risotto, specialties of
this region.
Continuing our journey we
next iadlulge ourselves in
the romantic region of
Veneto where the fair
Juliet was wooed by the
handsome Romeo perhaps
while sipping a delicious
Soave. a crisp dry white
wine that has been ap-
prectated wherever wine is
drunk. The wine is from the
town of Soave near Verona
and the wine got its name
from the 'Sua,6i' people
who occupied the region in
A.D. 568.
Still going south, we sam-
ple our next wine in the
regio: of Umbria in the
town of Torgiaruo, which is
also the name of our wine.
The white Togiano ( there
is also an excellent red) is
made principally from the
Trebbiano grape, is straw
yellow in colour has a
vinous bouquet and is both
fruity and pleasantlysharp
from the natural and well
balanced acidity. Here we
dine on PoUo in Porchetta,
chicken with pork, with a
side dish of Polenta made
from corn meal. The wine
goes well with the food and
we feel satisfied and con-
tent.
The Eternal City, Rome,
is our next stop. We drink
the lovely, soft, velvety
white Frascati, the
favourite wine of so many
Popes. The winewas once
described by Goethe as a
heavenly wine. We match
the wine with some
delicious Saltimbocca alla
Romana, veal with pro-
sciutto, flavoured with
sage.
The region of Campania is
our next stop on our
journey of the mind. This is
where Romans of old had
their summer retreats
away from the heat and
dust of Rome. Their
favourite wine in those
days was the rich Faler-
num, and one can well im-
agine them as they sat
under the shade of trellised
vines overlooking the Bay
of Naples. No doubt they
feasted on the original piz-
za which was named from
the Greek 'Pitta', a name
referred to a flattened
cake. We eat the now world
famous pizza, true Italian
style and enjoy a delicious
Taurasi. This rich, full-
bodied red wine is now
sought after by wine lovers
the world over. It is a
beautiful wine with a lovely
bouquet and matching
flavour, and is long living.
