Rh er sre En os er Toe by Millie Hogoboom 696-2603 ‘Mary, Mary—How does your garden grow?" is the most _ often quoted nursery rhyme today.

To paraphrase Napoleon, "A band marches on its sto- mach’’...At least the highly suc- cessful Lake-Lehman band does! Would you believe that the Lake-Lehman Band Spon- sors Association made and sold over $7,000 worth of hoagies to finance the recent bus trips of the Lake-Lehman band? And that’s a lot of baloney. Bul it cause their most recent trip to Sherbourne. N.Y. netted them three handsome trophies. two firsts and a third.

Seasoned, wrapped in foil and roasted, corn is: sweet and tender. Cooking time on the grill is about 25-30 minutes with fre- quent turning, then the ears are just right for sori fin butter and eating around! the fire. Fresh corn is equally deli- cious boiled in water for 8 min- utes, and served steaming hot. The United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association reminds us that corn originated in this hemisphere. While exploring Cuba in 1492, members of. Columbus’ crew got their first look at the popular vegetable. Natives had been cultivating corn for centuries. Since the time of the Pilgrims, Ameri- cans have been enjoying corn, whether on the cob, creamed, in succotash (an Indian dish), or in fritters. PN mm a nm, pn erin
