Unions

DEAR DIANE: About a year ago. while out in the back yard of our home, my youngest son and I were playing in the swimming pool. After playing in the pool for a long time, we decided to take a rest. We sat by the pool in our lawn chairs. But I had fallen asleep while resting on the chairs. During that time, my son jumped in the pool, and without hearing a sound from him. he had drowned. I really haven't been able to speak atiout this until now. I went into shock and was incapable of functioning or even recognizing a single person. My husband had no choice but to have me hospitalized. I have been here since then, and am trying to still come to grips with this horrible experience. 1 have two other sons, and miss them dearly. I see my husband, but I have seen the children only about a half dozen times since then. I'm afraid something might happen to them if they’re around me. The doctors here have tried to convince me that it was just a horrible accident, and that it wasn't my fault. How can anyone justify that it was an accident, when I carelessly fell asleep while I should have been watK. ■ ' V TO WED IN JUNE — Vernon and Leanna Mullet, r 1 box 1648.

ching my son? If you have any thoughts for me, that may help me to find some sort of truth that I can accept, I would appreciate it. TORMENTED DEARTORMENTED: It is natural to experience guilt after such an awful accident. However, that's just what it was —a tragic accident. My advice to you is to continue your therapy for as long as necessary. You will eventually come to terms with what happened, but this sort of thing does take time and a lot of soul-searching, as well as grieving. Bear in mind that your husband and sons are waiting for you and that they love you. This should help sustain you through the dark days ahead. My prayers are with you and your family.

People pleasing pumpkin

By JOAN B. YOUNCE Extension Agent Home Economist Baking with pumpkin during the holiday season evolved because it closely followed the harvest time. Over 52 million homes now serve pumpkin between Halloween and New Year’s making it the most popular pie of the holiday season. Freshly baked pumpkin dishes are a sheer delight and it may surprise you to learn that pumpkin is an excellent source of many nutrients. One cup of solid pack pumpkin contains only 80 calories and only one gram of fat. Sodium is extremely low at less than 10 milligrams. The one cup of pumpkin supplies 600 percent of your vitamin A, 15 percent of vitamin C and 20 percent of your iron. Many other nutrients are also available in smaller amounts. Here are some commonly asked questions concerning pumpkin pies: 1. What can I do with extra pumpkin filling? Pour the extra filling into a lightly greased custard cup and set in a shallow pan with one inch of hot water and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. This is like pumpkin pie without the crust —a good alternative for those watching their weight. 2. How can I avoid a “skin” forming on top of my pumpkin pie? Positioning your oven rack too close to the top heating unit may cause your pie to “skin” and crack as it bakes and the filling to shrink slightly. This may cause the filling to pull away from the crust. Another reason for pulling away is over baking. Try reducing your baking time by five or 10 minutes.

JOAN B. YOUNCE Can I freeze my pie? Freezing custard-type pies is not recommended because they tend to become watery. If you do freeze your pie, use it within a short time —about six weeks. Extra pumpkin or filling can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Better still, use any extra pumpkin in a recipe that can be frozen such as nut bread, muffins or cookies. Serving our country MICHAEL W. BRIAN Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Michael W.
