season associated with the hoI-
day bird is at hand.
A crop Of some 41,000.000 ttir-
keys is more than enough to sat

and Christmas. Because Of adj
vances in turkey farming, the
National Geographic Society
suggests that the bird viii pro-

The 1949 turkey is broader
brested, smaller boned and Of
better flavor than any in the
history of the bird beginning
with that feast of the Pilgrims
in the year 1921. Time was when
it took nine months to get a tllr-
key to carving knife status, but
with Uncle Sans aid through
the Department Of Agriculture
the time has been brought down
to seven months and there. is a
prospect of a further reduction.
Speed is important because

NJ Pedro AcuILAR

Yesterday in this column, 1
wrote about baseball, basketball
and football. Especially. about
the brand of baseball improving
each Sunday. ! notice now that
/ did not mention anything about
boxing that is also up-and- coming
in Key West. Promoter Dick Lee
is doing all in his power to give
us good, clean fights and all on
the up-and-up.
Things broke wrong the other
day, through no fault of his. but
he guarantees that this will not
happen again.
Last week the fans were more
than pleased with the Moore
Spangler and the Rich-Menendez
bouts. About the johnny Yates
Bud McShea bout, / would like
to say that the fight was a good
draw and the voting of the judg-
es will prove that. They We're in
a position to see the fight better
than the referee and of the crowd
that was there the majority
thought il was draw, too.
Yates was only cut over an
eye about an inch and not all
over the face.
All in all it was a great card
and the fans enjoyed it. We hope
Lee will again put these two boys
together and see what happens
then.

In Arlington
Ports of Hocksuw
Blades Found in
Cell of Robbers

For the second time in less than
two months Arlington jail authori-
ties yesterday foiled an attempted
break by discovering hacksaw
blades.
Three parts from one or two
blades were found yesterday in a
cell occupied by two of three de-
PENDANTS who were sentenced Fri
day on robbery charges, according
to Sheriff j. Elwood Clements.
The broken blades were discov-
cred under a mattress when Theo-
dore Frederick, jailer. went to the
cell for an inspection, Mr.. Glenn
ents reported.
Occupants of the cell were
Charles A. Riddle. jr., 20, OF the
1900 block of Newton street NV.
and James Delbert Shively, 18. OF
the 27O0 block of Fourteenth
street NV.
Sentenced to 8 Years.
The two youths, along with
James Howard Sebastian, Is, OF
the 1900 block of Fairmont street
NV, were sentenced by Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy to serve
eight years in the Virginia State
Penitentiary. All three were
found guilty of the armed robbery
of j. w. Heatwole, 58-year-old
Washington restaurant owner, in
front OF his Arlington home on the
night Of July %.
Sheriff Clements said Sebastian
also had been in the cell at one
time since the sentencing but was
removed Friday night to another
one.
The sheriff said he had infor-
nation that the blades were
brought in by Shively, who re-
portedly had them in his shoes.
Shively, the sheriff explained, was
the only one of the trio who had
been freed under bond and was
committed to jail for the first
time Friday. The other two were
brought to Arlington for the trial
from the Fairfax jail. Mr.. Glenn
ents said.
Transferred to Fairfax.
Immediately after discovery OF
the blades. the three youths were
transferred to the Fairfax jail, the
sheriff said. The latter jail and
the Loudoun County jail at Lees
burg are being used to handle
!. Arlington prison cases while q
new Arlington Jail is under con.
, struction.
Mr.. Clements aid the Arlington
Jail is serving as a temporary
lookup now and has facilities
for only a few prisoners.
I A similar attempt to break out
of Jail was discovered about Octo-
ber % when a trusty found
live hacksaw blades on a window
sill. Police believe they were in
tended for James Kelly, Is. of
the 800 block of Fifth street N. w..
a prisoner who since has been
sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary on store-breaking
charge.
