Ways to keep cool are not always easy to find during the current heat wave. But a sand-coated youngster in Fort Dodge, Iowa, does it by having a drink from a picnic jug. Above, Gary Davidson, 2, a tearful Tarzan, bawls heartily while his companion Julie Berman, 3, remains aloof as the pair shares a seat. Both are from Randolph. Left, Bill Jonah of Winchester, relaxes on several blocks of ice at the Boston Ice Co.
