From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports

Paul Newman’s food company says it will send 500,000 bottles of its lemonade to the U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia for Christmas.

Earlier, 300,000 bottles of Newman’s Own Old Fashioned Roadside Virgin Lemonade were sent to the troops.

“The way we figure it, there should be around two bottles for every man and woman serving in Operation Desert Shield,” said A. E. Hotchner, co-founder with the actor of the company, which donates its profits to charity.
