MILTON, MASS. GROUP TO CUMO
MT. FORAKER IN TALKEETNA RANGE
! Recent house guests at the
home of Russell and Rusty
Dow were a group of mountain
climbers, all members of the
Milton Fo raker expedition
which will climb Mt. Foraker
this summer. The group left
here on June 20 for Talkeetna,
from which point Don Sheldon
will fly them to their base
camp to prepare for their as
sault on Mt. McKinley’s sister
peak in the Talkeetna range.
Members of the expedition
are leader Adam Carter of
Milton, Mass., a professor at
Milton Academy; his two sons,
Peter and Larry, students at
the academy; Harry Eldridge,
a Lake Placid, New York, ed
ucator; Larry Jackson, Gil
ford, New Hampshire, a grad
uate student at the University
of Utah who is doing a contin
uing study on salmon with the
Department of Fish and Game;
and Jim Sise, student at Milton
Academy.
The expedition is sponsored
by the Boston Museum of Sci
ence, Boston, Mass.
Carter has climbed in Eur
ope, South America, and the
Himalayas, and has done scien
tific studies at Mt. Crillon, El
dridge Glacier, and Mt, McKin
ley in Alaska.
In 1962, Carter climbed Mt.
Paccharajie in the Cordillera
Blanca Range in Peru, accom
panied by sons Peter and Lar
ry, who were then 14 and 13
years of age. The boys reached
the summit (over 17,000 feet),
a record climb for their age.
The hoys, now 14 and 15,
will accompany the expedition
on the Mt. Foraker climb.
Eldridge has also climbed,
in both Europe and America.
Since 1866 Oregon’s Cape
Arago Lighthouse has been re
located three times because surf
erosion isolated it from the
mainland.
ALASKANS-WELCOME ABOARD
YOUR WONDERFUL NEW FERRIES
Thousands of proud taxpayer “owners” can now enjoy a wonderful new,
easy way to get around Alaska—for a visit, or just for the fun of going
places. From interior and western Alaska, your new ferries provide an
alternate route via the beautiful Inside Passage to the Panhandle cities,
Canada, and the lower 48 states. For southeastern Alaskans, it’s a new
way to go northward—for business, pleasure, sports, or for that favorite
Alaskan pastime, visiting old friends. Stopping at each port six days a
week', northbound and southbound from Rupert to Skagway, the ferries
are almost as convenient as a commuter bus. These sleek blue and gold
ships are like ocean liners—have dining rooms, cocktail lounges, air
plane-type reclining chairs, and helpful stewardesses. Each carries 500
passengers and 108 cars. Fares are reasonable. For example, car and
driver from Haines to Juneau is $24.50. Or, a foot passenger can travel
from Skagway to Prince Rupert for only $30. If you haven’t been aboard
your new femes yet, plan a trip soon. They’re yours to enjoy, and you’ll
find they’re a great credit to the people of Alaska. ^
For complete information on faret, ratee far different size vehicles,
and sailing schedules see your local travel agent or write Division of
Marine Transportation, Juneau.

You’ll recall that we talked
ibout part of Fourteen Easy
Harden Rules last week. These
lave been carefully selected
:rom comments made by both
lome gardeners and profes
sional horticulturists from all
jver the country. The final list
jf rules are just about all
‘musts” if you expect to get
[he most out of your gardening
if forts.
Rule Thirteen is just coming
into play about now. “U s e
vegetables when they are in
prime condition”.
It sounds as if anyone ought
to know enough to do that, but
you’d be surprised to learn how
many people wait until their
vegetables are old and tough
before using them. All of us
are inclined to be a little
greedy, and often it shows up
by some simple little thing like
waiting until the vegetables
get a little bigger before using
them.
When a person has gone to
all the trouble of raising home
garden vegetables, they’ve
earned the right to use the pro
duce at its best. I always say:
“Enjoy the quality and over
look the quantity.” Radishes
are ready when they are no
longer than the tip of a finger.
Don’t forget to start a short
row every ten days for con
tinuous harvest. Carrots, too,
are good from pencil size on,
especially raw or with fresh,
green peas. Leaves thinned
from both head and leaf lettuce
rows, are at their tender best
when small. Beet and turnip
greens need early picking. Peas
that have hardly filled the
shell are full of flavor, yet
very tender.
For those who grow kohlrabi,
the stem bulb is prime when
no larger than an egg. This is
one fine vegetable that can be
eaten cooked or raw, but only
a few folk really know how to
use it.
Then too, don’t pass up the
opportunity to have fresh green
peas and new potatoes. Golfball
size is plenty large for potatoes
used in this tasty dish.
Time won’t let us go over
all the vegetables you can use
from the garden long before
fall, so let’s get on to the four
teenth and final easy garden
rule.
You could say Rule 14 is
only a logical development
from the 13th one we have just
been discussing. The rule
reads: “Store and Can Only
Top Quality Vegetables.” This
sounds pretty reasonable when
one stops to think about it.
Vegetables are never improved
by preservation of any kind,
and everyone knows it is
mighty hard to have the very
best storage conditions at
home. Seems sensible then to
store the same high quality
vegetables that you enjoy
fresh from the garden.
We all know that there are
at least six very common
ways of keeping vegetables, al
though there are one or t w o
ways that seem to keep cer
tain vegetables best. For in
stance, immature vegetables
like tiny carrots or cucumbers
are usually canned or pickled
(which includes brining).
Mature carrots, on the other
hand, will keep all winter
when placed fresh in a cool
storage between layers of
clean soil. Of course, carrots,
like beets, turnips and pota
toes, will also keep without
sand, but seldom for very
long.
Rutabagas should be trim
med and waxed; you can do
this to turnip and kohlrabi also.
Freezing is the most popu
lar method of keeping just
about everything nowdays, so
we won’t take time to name
all the vegetables.
Herbs and fruits lend them
selves to drying, but this takes
a little more time with home
equipment.
Next time you go by the Co
operative Extension Service
office, drop in and pick up a
bulletin about canning. If you
have a particular problem,
don’t hesitate to ask some of
the folks there to help you
find the answer.
We must stop now, but re
member this old saying to get
the most out of your garden,
you should: “Elat all you can,
and can what you can’t.”
Whiskey Gap, Wyo., was
named for army destruction of
