Melon picking advice University News Service For some people, picking the “perfect” watermelon is a favorite summer rite that involves thumping and shaking and looking for tell tale signs of what could he inside. But, judging the quality of a wa termelon is very diffucult unless it’s cut in half or quartered, says Mary K. Sweeten, Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension Service Food and Nutrition specialist. In fact, one recent produce indus try study showed that about forty percent of consumers find melons the most difficult fruit to judge for ripeness and freshness, she adds. According to Sweeten, there are a few appearance factors which may be helpful — but not totally reliable — in guiding you to a good, ripe, juicy watermelon. The surface of the watermelon should be relatively smooth, she says. The find should have a slight dullness, neither shiny nor dull. The ends of the melon should be filled out and rounded, and the underside of the melon should have a creamy color. It’s easier, but usually more ex pensive to buy a cut melon for your money unless you inspect it well. The best melon has firm, juicy flesh with good red color, she says. Look out for white streaks and whitish seeds since these indicate immatu rity. The peak watermelon season is here so there are plenty of delicious melons to choose from at the super markets and produce stands. With prices low and likely to get lower as the season progresses, several op portunities to pick the “perfect” melon will be available.

Moon washes dishes United Press International DANBURY, Conn. — The Rev. Sun Myung Moon gamely cleaned the filthy trays and loaded dishes into washers Monday in his first stint at food service duty at a federal prison where he is serving time for tax evasion. Instead of a finely tailored suit, the Korean-horn leader of the Unifi cation Church serving an 18-month term donned the prison uniform of surplus khakis and fatigues and tackled the kitchen cleanup chores for 200 other inmates. Since Moon, 64, speaks no En glish, Warden Dennis Luther said it was ’’almost a necessity" that the spiritual leader with 3 million follow ers he given a menial job requiring no communication skills. Moon was convicted in 1982 for not paying taxes on nearly $162,000 in interest earned on nearly $2 mil lion kept in New York hanks. His ap peal to the Supreme Court was re fused May 14. U.S. District Judge Cerard Goet- tel rejected a plea for a reduced sen tence last week and also refused to allow Moon to voluntarily leave the country for six months instead of going to prison. The choice was between kitchen service or janitorial work, Luiil said. Luther said Moon — withco-* fendanl and aide Takeru Kamiufl interpreting — “had no partn preference or objections’’ loapptR imately five hours a day of dean trays, loading washers and gtiJ kitchen duties. Luther said every inmate all minimum security camp alopfl picturesque hills of western Coni* icut is assigned a job and Moon* no exception. Moon shared the chores withil eral other inmates of cleaningup| ter the prison lunch. Miss America gives up title amid controversy United Press International NEW YORK — Vanessa Williams reluctantly gave up her Miss Amer ica title Monday, saying Penthouse magazine’s publication of sexually explicit photos of her and another woman made it impossible for her to finish her reign. The 2Tyear-old beauty, the first black woman to hold the title, told a packed Manhattan news conference she never agreed to have the pic tures published and did not realize how explicit they were until she saw them in the magazine. “It is apparent to me that because of all that has happened during the past week, it would be difficult for me to make an appearance as Miss America,” she said. “I wish I could retain my title,” said Williams. In Atlantic City, N.J., pageant of ficials said Suzette Charles, the first runnerup from New Jersey, would serve the remaining two months as Miss America. Charles is also black. Pageant Director Albert Marks Jr. said Williams “fulfilled all of the du ties and responsibilities of her posi tion in exemplary fashion.” The 10-page layout in the Sep tember Penthouse, rushed to news stands and selling at a brisk pace Monday, showed Williams posing nude in several sexually suggestive scenes with an unidentified woman. Last week, the pageant commit tee, after learning of the pictures, gave Williams 72 hours to resign, a demand she said had “shocked, sur prised and deeply hurt” her. However, she quickly added, “I fully support the Miss America pag eant and the opportunity it has pro vided” other women like her. With her family at her side, Wil liams read a brief statement saying she had posed for the pictures dur ing two sessions in 1982, while she was on summer vacation from Syra cuse University and working as a re ceptionist and makeup artist Mount Kisco, N.Y., modtii agency. The phologapher, Toni Chia| “told me I would need a portfolio Ijc a model, she said. The beat queen, who swept to the title witb impressive singing performaK was 19 at the time. She said she could only recalls'! ing an application for thejob, noi release for the photos to be pi lished.
