basically they are divided into two kinds, “summer squash” or “winter squash.” Summer squash is characterized by a soft shell. It is harvested when immature and when the entire squash is tender and edible. Winter squash has a harder shell and a higher sugar content than summer squash. It needs to mature for best eating quality. The center cavity usually contains prepared seeds that are too large and hard to be eaten. Summer squash may be considered the dieter’s delight due to its low calorie contribution; onehalf cup of diced squash provides 15 calories. Along with the low calories, it contains a good supply of vitamin A, C and niacin. Since summer squash has a tender edible skin and seeds containing cellulose, it’s a good source of fiber. Not to be outdone, winter squash also is high in nutrient value. Although higher in calories (one-half cup provides about 65 calories), it is higher in vitamins A, C and niacin. Squash lends itself to a variety of preparation methods. Thin slices of fresh summer squash add interest to mixed green salads and are equally welcome in fresh vegetable relish trays. Summer squash cooks quickly in a small amount of boiling water. Winter squash is popular mashed, baked, or even used in desserts. Zucchini is probably the most popular of the summer squash. But don’t overlook other varieties such as coczelle, scallop, straightneck, or crookneck. For interesting variety to meals, try the spaghetti squash — great for those on wheat-free diets and as a base for pasta sauces. When you tire of your fresh squash supply, freeze some for use later on. For summer squash, cut in one half-inch slices. Heat in Sawyer reunion held at Syracuse A reunion of the family of the late Lester and Clara Sawyer was held on August 20 at the Syracuse Scout Cabin. There were 66 relatives present. An election of officers for the next reunion was held with the following results: Evelyn Wolfinger — president Darrell Scelzo — vice president Sharon Price — secretarytreasurer

boiling water for three minutes. Cool promptly in cold water and drain. Pack into containers, leaving Vz-inch head space. Seal and freeze. For winter squash, cut into pieces; remove seeds. Cook pieces until soft. Remove pulp from rind and mash or press through a sieve. Cool. Pack into containers leaving one-half inch headspace and freeze. Squash can also be canned and processed in a pressure canner. Canning of pureed pumpkin and squash is not recommended. The canning of cubed pumkin and squash is the recommended process. For those who want pumpkin/squash ready for pies the recommendation is to freeze the the pureed pumpkin/squash. Enjoy your bounty of squash, but pick frequently so that your crop may be cooked or preserved at its peak. Carl Bice spends summer on ship Carl (“Buddy ”) Bice, a resident of Milford and first class midshipman in the Navy ROTC program at the University of Notre Dame, returned home August 15 from a training cruise in the Western Pacific. Bice spent four weeks in the western seas aboard the USS New Jersey. He flew from South Bend to Oakland. Calif., and from there to Singapore via Anchorage, Alaska; Yakuska, Japan; and Subic Bay, Republic of the Phillipines. In Singapore he boarded the New Jersey for training in the procedures and responsibilities of naval officers. While Bice was embarked the New Jersey visited Pattaya Beach, Thailand; Subic Bay; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Bice says his favorite spots were the resort at Pattaya and the beaches of Waikiki. The USS New Jersey was originally built in 1942 and is presently the Navy’s only commissioned battleship. The New Jersey was involved in action in World War 11, the Korean conflict and again in Viet Nam. She is the most decorated vessel in US Navy history. Most recently, she and her crew are up for the Navy Humanitarian Award for the spotting and rescue of several hundred Vietnamese refugees while she was in the Western Pacific. For part of the cruise Bice was given responsibility for the number one 16-inch, 50 caliber three-gun turret that is part of the New Jersey’s main battery. He was extremely impressed by the New Jersey’s armament and her crew and is proud to have served aboard her even for such a short time. He will begin his senior year at Notre Dame on August 30. Bice is the son of Donald and Monica Bice of Milford.
