FT. MADISON, Ia, July 19 (U. P.).—Don MacGregor, 27, six foot, 185-pound star of the Iowa State prison football team, walked through the prison gates today carrying an offer to play professional football with the combined Philadelphia Eagles-Pittsburgh Steelers this fall. He had spent four years and nine months in the penitentiary for car theft and in the words of Warden Percy Lainson had become “a hell of a good football player.” MacGregor was sentenced in Des Moines, Ia. in 1938, to a 10-year term, which was shortened by good

“with essential emergency needs,” Senator James M. Mead (D.

Fate of the game, reportedly opposed by the war department, is| scheduled to be decided in the near | future. Before the army’s decision is made, Mead told Patterson, al thorough study “in the light of existing conditions” should be made.

With an ample moisture supply, vegetable farming in Indiana pro-
fited by favorable weather condi[tions existing during the last two weeks in June, according to Purdue {university agricultural statisticians. A light frost in the lowest spots {in the muck land area did little |damage except for a slight reduc[tion in the yield of potatoes on plants affected, they reported today. Cantaloups responded well to the above normal temperatures during most of the last two weeks of June, and a heavy set of fruit is developing. Watermelons have made a rapid jgrowth during this period, and the set is expected to be heavy. The first ripe watermelons in the JohnDecker and Vincennes areas will appear about Aug. 5. Onions are growing well in all including those that have been reseeded. For the most part, they are free from weeds and no insect damage is apparent. Row mint from root cuttings as well as plants is making a good
browth and is free from weeds, al-
though weeds may be a problem in some of the smaller meadows. Some of the meadow mint stands are thin from winter injury and flood

HOME FREEZING OF "FOOD RECOMMENDED
Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind. July 19. Fresh fruits and vegetables around the calendar rather than three or four months out of the year are | possible for every Indiana family {through the fast freezing method of preservation, K. I. Fawcett, Purdue university agricultural experi- | ment station horticulturist, said | today. Most of the fruits that may be grown successfully in Indiana, as well as many of the vegetables, can {be frozen. It is recommended that a high quality product be used, as! the freezing of stale or badly| (wilted products is a waste of time | ‘and money. When raised in the | home garden, the fruit or vegetable should be frozen as quickly {after picking as possible; those pur{chased should be kept fresh and | erisp until frozen. Vegetables that may be successfully frozen include asparagus, green beans, lima beans, broccoli, carrots, sweet corn, peas and spinach. Some varieties of these vege{tables have been bred especially for freezing adaptability. Strawberries,
blackberries, apples, peaches, plums land cherries may all be frozen. The time to freeze a fruit or vegetable is when it is in the best condition for table use. For this reason, it is advisable never to harvest more than may be processed in a few hours.

New Recreation Area Opens at RCA
Newest
A new recreation area is being opened at the RCA-Victor division here to provide lunchtime relaxation so war workers can “beat the promise” when they return to the production lines. The new area includes an archery range, croquet ground, paddle tennis court, horseshoe pitching ‘area | and lawn chairs for “just resting.” And, so workers needn't worry about | overstaying their lunch hour, a sound system is being installed to | announce the time of day. | This latest addition will expand | the already extensive recreation | program the East side war plant has instituted for the benefit of | workers who turn out vitai com- | munications equipment and records | for army camps and overseas enter-
tainment. The program financed jointly by the company and employees, is supervised by the RCA-Victor Athletic association which employees may join for 25 cents a month. Activities suggested by employees or their representatives on the association’s governing body continue through winter and summer. In addition to the new recreation area, the plant boasts a branch library, lunch-hour movies and newsreels in the cafeterias and lounge rooms. Many of the other recreation ac-
| tivities are held in the full-sized gymnasium which the company leases in the nearby Dearborn hotel. |Here there is shuffle board,
‘basketball and dancing. There are |separate lecker rooms. Among the activities outside the plant, bowling is far and away the most popular. There are teams for men, women and mixed teams and tournaments provide considerable interest. “Owl” splash parties are held frequently at the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. downtown. Golf tournaments for men are held each month at various courses and a big tournament is staged each fall. A number of departments have softball teams and the plant has both soft and hardball teams competing in the city’s industrial leagues. Midnight roller skating parties are held each month at Rollerland and the night shift skate frequently at Riverside. RCA-Victor has many employees interested in music. This was shown by the large attendance at
