While the petitions had no lack of signatures, they came late and proved fruitless. Charges of “politics” concerning the PO location fell on deaf ears when the postmaster Avon Bushong was heard. He told of a five-year effort of the real estate division of the postal service to find a suitable location. The final blow fell, so said Bushong, when the city refused to sell a first-choice location on Dolan Drive. The reality of it all seems to be sinking in, and comments are heard that the PO location might serve a good purpose, that of

The GrapevineFi FACTS ABOUT WINES Types Os Wines Do you know the difference between a varietal and generic wine? You should when you buy wine. Varietal wines are named after the grape from which they are produced. Some of these are Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Chardonnay and Gamay. Federal law requires that most of the wine in the bottle must be made from the grape named on the label. It must also have the aroma and taste associated with the grape from which it is produced. Generic wines are named after the historic wine producing districts of Europe. This has been a custom for literally hundreds of years. Semi-generic names like Rhine Wine, for instance, came into use because the grapes were grown in the Rhine River valley. Burgundy, Sauterne and Bordeaux are other examples. This custom also applies to food, i.e., Swiss cheese, French bread. Some wines are marketed without any type of name. For instance, “white dinner wine.” These are called class names. They are best remembered by their brand name in connection with their class name. Many wineries have strung feelings about the distinctive nature of their grapes. They give them proprietary names — such as Vino Fiamma—which no other winery can use. Most often these names denote location of the winery. You will see many of these at your retail outlet.

He gave his generals all the land they could walk around from sunup to sundown. ii The most generous host may have been Nero—the same fellow who reputedly fiddled while Rome burned.

Make your calories count with plums

If you’re counting your calories, make your calories count, says Arleen Arnold, food marketing agent for Michigan State University. Plums and prunes contribute useful amounts of vitamins A and C. as well as other vitamins and minerals. Plums are low in sodium and suitable for use in low-sodium diets. There are only 48 calories in three and one-half ounces of edible plum (flesh only). Plums are a good source of fiber, 100 While all of the above is quite true, most of us eat food, not because it’s good for us. but because we like the taste. If you’ve a taste for plums, now is the time to indulge that taste because the season will soon be over. Don’t let this year go by without enjoying some of nature's most delicious fruits Plums taste so good when eaten raw it's almost a shame to cook them, but cooked plums make delightful sauces and desserts and cut up, raw-, into salads, gelatin desserts and compotes are also delicious. So, what’s a person to do? Your best bet is to buy lots of plums in all their jew-el-like colors and to serve them every way you can think of while the season lasts. Choose plums that are plump, clean and fresh looking. They should be full colored for that variety and soft enough to yield to a slight pressure. A softening at the tip of the plum is generally a good sign that the plum is ripe Take the plums home and if The smallest mammal is the pygmy shrew, which is only 1% inches long without its tail, and weighs only oneeighteenth of an ounce.

If you plan to freeze plums, use fully ripe fruit You can freeze them in halves, quarters or slices. The quality of the frozen fruit is-usually best when halved or quartered rather than sliced Both sugar-pack and syruppack methods are used, though the sugar-pack tends to have the better flavor For sugar-pack, use one cup of sugar to three cups of fruit Mix until enough juice is drawn out to cover the fruit. Remember to leave a half-inch headspace in containers The frozen plums will keep their firmness and will not discolor after thawing Soon the Michigan Stanley
