COOL, MAN—One way to beat the heat is the one used by Jeffrey Lofton, 6, of Fort Dodge. He has been sinking his teeth, with a few uppers missing, into the ice-cold watermelon. He was on a picnic the other day in a Fort Dodge park with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Lofton. Meanwhile, the temperature was flirting with the 90-degree mark. (AP Wirephoto)
