"Frosting on the pu

The pumpkin, my home en-
cyclopedia tells me, “is native
to warmer parts of the New
World”’,

This summer Terrace could
count itself as one of the
- warmer parts, and our pump-
kin patch out back certainly
prospered.

., The encyclopedia concludes
by blandly saying that the
.pumpkin is used ‘mainly as pie

filling and as jack-o’-lanterns”’.

By now the Thanksgiving pie
has been eaten and ‘‘Jackie”’

did his job last night. But let’s |

not retire the old pumpkin just

yet..

"There is more to this member

"Of the gourd family than just a

scary face. . .
A breakdown of the nyptritive

| value looks like this: per 100
grams, pumpkin provides 3,400
IU (international Units) of

- vitamin A, & megs. of vitamin

C, and’1.2 gins. of protein. Its:
mineral content includes 21
mes. of calcium, .8 mgs. of
iron, 44 mgs. of phosphorous,
and 200 mgs. of potassium. It
_ alsd’contains B vitamins?’ ahd

- for weight watchers, its fat
content is .2 gms., carbohy-
drates amount to 7.3 gms., and
calories equal 31.

Let’s compare this with its
seeds. Per 100 grams, pumpkin
seeds have less vitamin A (70
TU), but a higher value of B
vitamins. Fat and carbohy-
drates are also considerably
higher, but the seeds compen-
sate as aricher source of
calcium (51 mgs.), iron (11.2
mgs.), phosphorous (1,144
mgs.),.and protein (29 gms.).
Calories equal 553.

Pumpkin seeds are con-
sidered an extremely rich
source of phosphorous, iron,
the B vitamin niacin, and a_
good source of protein,
calcium? and‘other B vitamins.
As a source-of protein, they
rank highly — both in quantity
and quality. °

Renowned for the therapeu-
tic effect on-the male prostate
gland, pumpkin seeds contain
nutrients considered to be -
building blocks of the male
hormone. They are an aid to
constipation and are also a
natural anthelmintic (in other
words — ‘fan agent that
destroys or expels intestinal ©
parasites”). Need more be
said? |

Pumpkin seeds are crunchy
and delicious, raw or roasted,
arid make a good between-meal
_ gnack. Add them to granola

cereal, cookie recipes, tea
breads, or add to fried rice,
étc. Toss some on a vegetable
or fruit salad.

. How to prepare seeds from
harvested pumpkins? One
source suggests this simple
recipe Dry welll for a few

weeks, then peel off tough
outer skin.

Or you can do it the easy
way — simply buy a bag from
the health food store.

The inner kernel can be eaten
raw or roasted as a treat. To
roast_pumpkin seeds, lightly
coat seeds with vegetable oil
(and sprinkle with salt if
desired). For every cup of raw

seeds use % tsp. of oil and 1

“tsp. of salt. Use a heavy frying

pan and medium heat. Stir con-
tinuously (for only a very few
minutes) until the seeds are
puffed up and browned. This
recipe source warns that some
may pop: energetically right out
of the pan.

Back ‘to the pumpkin —
medicinally, it is known to aid

- in correcting such problems as
infected. or inflamed intestines, _

stomach ulcers, hemorrhoids,

and abnormal accumulations of

body fluids. |

The most popular use for
cooked pumpkin is as a filling
for pies. But pumpkin used in

cookies, ¢ custard dishes, snack- -

tig Cakes. atid téa ‘breads can
provide a taste treat that may .
become a perennial family
favorite. This fall, why not try

_some spicy pumpkin cookies,
' tea bread, or —

_ tional ceremony Oct, 16 at, 4:30 ff.
‘p.m. in the Great Hall of the —

Law Courts Building on Robson
Street.

The tiered | ‘balconies with
cascading ivy. ‘and the massive
structures-- -~aboye « -the-- stage
formed an impressive backdrop
to the ceremonies. The late

afternoon sun shining through |

the glass and steel roof accented

‘the scarlet and black silk robes

of the 24 members of the
Supreme Court and their four

. nominees as they filed onto the

stage and took their séats facing
an audience .of relatives, col-

leagues and friends.

Chief Justice Esson led the

The bandshell in George Little
Memorial Park was slightly
damaged on a recent night when
vandals set fire to an ‘Unoc-
cupied baby carriage inside it at
about 7:30 p.m. An alert passer-
by ran into the library to tell
librarian Gillian Campbell that

“something’s wrong in the |

bandshell’’.

Campbell phoned the RCMP,
who attended the scene im-
mediately and doused the flames
with two buckets of water.

What. may have seemed like a

joke at the time could have.

resulted in serious ‘damage to
community property. This inci-
dent demonstrates how residents

can protect their neighborhood .

against vandalism by simply
keeping an eye on what's hap-

pening and reporting any

suspicious activities to police.

Representatives of the
Ministries: of -the. Attorney
General and of the Law Societies
of Canada and of B.C., the Bar

Association of New Westminster

and Vancouver and other
judicial societies. ‘paid tribute to
the new Justices.

During the introduction for
each new member, Justice Mc-
Coll was commended. for his
work with the Law Society
Council and in ‘the deinstitu-

# tionalization of the handicapped
as well as his success with labor .

legislation and arbitration.

In response, Justice McColl
opened his address. by saying
that he hoped. he would have as
much fun in this new stage of his
career as he has had so far in the
law profession.

He paid tribute to his friends
and colleagues who had inspired

and helped him during the pre-

ceding years, and to his wife,
Blizabeth, whom he married in

1963, and to his children, Innis, |
Allistair and Fiona. He regretted.

particularly the early decease of
his parents, A.J. (Bud) and
Loreen McColl, that they could
not be present.

(The McColls, Senior, are re-

membered in Terrace notable |
‘for their work with the Terrace

Little Theatre. The McColl
