Burglarized Business And Physical
Violence Head Week's Crime List
Tulia Farm Supply, located in the 100
block of Highway 87, was the victim of
burglars sometime between 6 p.m. Sat-
urday and 7 a.m. Monday. Police said
the yeggs used a cinder block to "burst
out a large window" in the front of the
building.
Four belt buckles, valued at $150
eahe, along with cash and checks were
stolen. This was in addition to the win-
dow damage.
Police investigated a burglary of a
motor vehicle which occurred between
Jan. 28-30 and was reported last week.
While the vehicle was parked inside the
Tulia High auto mechanics building, a
Punch 45 HD amplifier, valued at $300,
was stolen.
Physical violence crimes also top the
police list for the week. An aggravated
assault matter at 9 p.m. Sunday in the
300 block of South El Paso left one man
with slashes to the right side of his face,
his top and bottom lip cut from a sharp
object, a tooth knocked out and a contu-
sion on his left temple. He was released
after treatment in the Swisher Memorial
Hospital emergency room.
The case, which will be presented to
the grand jury, involved a fight between
23- and 25-year old males.
JUVENILE ALTERCATIONS
Two juveniles were involved in an
altercation—classified as a simple as-
sault—at 4:15 p.m. Sunday in the 100
block of South Collins. One of the lads
suffered scrapes on both arms and
shoulders. The argument allegedly
stemmed over a $5 loan.
The matter was referred to juvenile
Tori Irlbeck Graduated From
Texas Tech With Perfect GPA
SEWED IN TULIA—Shirley Smith holds two children's garments which
were produced by Shirley's on a contract sewing basis fer an Amarillo
firm. Mrs. Smith presently has four local women sewing for her in their
homes. —Staff photo
During each of the three Texas Tech
University commencement exercises on
Saturday, May 16, magna cum laude
graduates with a perfect 4.0 cumulative
grade point average were recognized.
One of these was Tori Gae Irlbeck, a
biochemistry major from Tulia. A
daughter of Albert and Jan Irlbeck, she
was graduated from Tulia High School.
About 2,000 Texas Tech University
students received degrees Saturday.
Shirley's Producing Youth Garments
"What we’re doing now is sold orders,"
Shirley Smith says of her cottage industry
which is doing contract sewing of
children’s garments for an Amarillo
clothing distribution firm.
This company is "way behind on sold
orders" and needs additional production.
"Shirley’s" — Guy and Shirley Smith
contract sewing firm will utilize the same
name as their cleaning establishment —
is now employing four local women to
work on the garments in their homes.
Twenty-eight applications were re-
ceived, but most of these individuals do
not have a necessary serger in their
homes.
"That means there arc 24 more people
out there who want to work," Smith says.
He admits he is more anxious to expand
into a sewing business under one roof
than his wife. Mrs. Smith says she is "in
no hurry" to invest in machinery and
secure a building to expand the business.
This means the operation will remain a
"cottage industry until we can get other
plans together."
Mrs. Smith, who was supervisor of the
Royal Park, Inc., finishing department—
"inspecting, pressing, bagging and ship-
ping" — is now cutting fabric, as well as
sewing the pieces together.
Over 200 Senior Citizens’
Medical Petitions Mailed
In excess of 200 medical petitions for senior citizens have been mailed
throughout the 38 counties in the 13th District, served by Congressman Bill
Sarpalius. The effort opposing the high cost of health care for senior citizens
is headed by the Swisher County Senior Citizens.
Frankie George, who is spearheading the effort, says senior citizens of
Congressman Larry Com best’s 19th District will be informed about the move
as petitions are mailed to Senior Citizen organizations in those 19 counties for
signatures.
Petitions bearing over 400 signatures have already been received in this
county, but Mrs. George encourages senior citizens who have not signed one
to please do so within the next few days.
She hopes this movement will spread across the country. Congressmen
Sarpalius and Combest are being asked to present the petitions on the House of
Representatives floor.

Information from the university listed
Miss Irlbeck as a magna cum laude
graduate, but names of other Swisher
County graduates have not been re-
ceived.
Shirley's is also an outlet for some of
the girls' garments.
Her daughter, Crystal Murdock of
Lufkin, is now designing and manufac-
turing women's garments under her own
label: "Murdock's" If the couple and their
two young daughters follow through on
plans to return to the Panhandle-South
Plains area, Mrs. Murdock would work
closely with her mother. Her husband,
Robert Murdock, is a coach-teacher.
Have A Good Week!
