Show I 88THE Page 4 Wednesday, October 18, 1978 TIG OT HER INTERNATIONAL Vatican City Breaking a 455-year tradition, cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church elected a non-Italian as their new pope on Monday. Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Poland was selected on the seventh or eighth ballot of the conclave of 111 cardinals and he chose the papel name of John Paul II. Wojtyla's election was hailed by the Polish government as a "special sign for Poland" and his name choice apparently indicates he plans to follow the philosophies of his three immediate predecessors John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul I, who died after a reign of only 34 days. Selection of the little known, 58-year-old archbishop of Krakow came as a surprise and may mark a new understanding between the Vatican and the Communist world. John Paul II is the first non-Italian pope since the Dutchman Adrian VI, who served in 1522-1523. 1522-1523.

Box 2473, PARK City, Utah 84060 Car 19 In With Dine-Outs A Salt Lake City organization. 3.000 discerning palates strung, bestowed a degree of excellence award upon Don Millecam's Car 19 Gourmet Nude Room recently. The Dine-Out C'iub. with epicurean chapters across the nation, has the enviable task of indulging in the culinary delights offered in the area's finest restaurants. In that pursuit, the Salt Lake club selected the two-and-a-half hour eating experience in the Nude Room as an award-winner. "The gourmet feast is designed for those who. once in a lifetime or on a special occasion, decide to really dine out and not let the cost factor be involved," Millecam said. Millecam described the repast as a relaxed experience with every one of the seven courses a surprise and the entire meal a conversation piece. The Car 19 staff selects the wine, appetizers, entree and after-dinner after-dinner drinks. Nearly everything served is hand selected by Millecam, including the wine, of which he is most proud. "Connoisseurs of wine will appreciate what we are serving here," the owner said. The wines are from California's Napa Valley, described by Millecam as one of the few valleys in the world with a nearly perfect climate for grape-growing. Each night a fog rolls in over the vineyards and naturally waters the grapes, and by morning the hot sun burns off the moisture and ripens the grapes to near perfection. "Napa Valley wines are beginning to be rated with the international wines," Millecam said. In the last decade 1974 has been singled out as one of the finest wine years. Served with the gourmet feast are a 1974 Cabernet Sauvignon Beringer. a 1975 Chenin Blanc Reringer, and if possible, a 1974 Oakville Cabernet Sauviirmn. The cream of pheasant soup and tenderloin tornadoes are cooked to a turn by chef and brother Bruce Millecam, Vera Tree and Barbara Gillette. Don's son Randy, Liz Snow and Brian Andrus serve the refection aficiondos in the wine celler atmosphere of the Nude Room, named for two unabashed ladies unearthed when the cellar was excavated. Millecam said he and the staff were "very proud" of the award and have it displayed in the Nude Room. The owner beamed, "There is probably nothing like our gourmet dinner in the State of Utah."
