BIG SQUASH: Ted Fry of 64 Longfellow Dr., Whitmore Lake, imported some special banana squash seeds from California this spring, planted them in his garden and awaited developments. The "developments" included the monster squash he's holding, which grew to be 32 1/2 inches long and weighs 31 1/2 pounds. Fry operates a grocery market at Pittsfield Village.

HOLDING HIS OWN IN SQUASH: Six-year-old Jack Beck (right) appears to be having a hard time holding one of eight giant squashes which grew up mysteriously from an old compost pile in his yard. Jack's older brother, Don (left), who claimed ownership of the garden's rarities, holds one of two squashes which the Jay K. Beck family of 715 Virginia Ave., Ypsilanti, planted. Jack and the squash he holds both weigh exactly the same - 42 pounds. The eight "wild" squash together weigh some 200 pounds.
