CRUMB:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold butter

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly; set aside. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in squash and vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Spoon half into a greased 9-in. spring form pan.
