Big Lake Is Hit By
Rash Of Burglaries
Three separate business
places were hit by burglars in
Big Lake some time Tuesday
night with an undetermined
amount of money being taken
from the safe in the Glass-
cock Chevrolet Co. office. Dr.
Cleon S. Nunnally’s office lost
approximately $110.00, and
the Hi-Way Cafe Truck Stop,
owned by Pete Akin, lost
about $70.00. In addition to
these, the Reagan Memorial
Hospital business office was
burglarized Monday night of
$85.00.
Burglars entered Glasscock
Chevrolet through a window
on the north side of the
building. They then borrowed
the company’s acetylene cut
ting torch and cut the hinges
off the safe door so they
could break it open. Alfred
Allee, Texas Ranger station-
ed in Ozona, was called in to
take fingerprints at the
Glasscock Chevrolet office.
Dr. Nunnally’s office was
entered through a rear win-
dow and money taken from
both the desk in his private
office and the desk at the
business office in the waiting
room.
The Hi-Way Cafe was en-
tered through a small air
conditioner opening and the
juke box broken open.
A desk in the business of-
fice at the hospital was priz-
ed open and only the curren-
cy taken from the drawer,
leaving several dollars in
change. Part of the money,
$3.C0, belonged to the Candy
Stripers.
Sheriff James Proffitt and
City Police Chief Stacy Beck-
nell are investigating the
burglaries.

Rain, Drop In Temp.,
Gives Pep To All
A drop in temperature last
Saturday, from a high of 96
degrees to a comfortable 80
degree reading was enjoyed
by all. Rainfall in the Mid-
land area, with none here,
brought the change.
Steadily darkening clouds
from the northwest traveled
far enough east and south
for parts of Reagan County
to receive moisture Wednes-
day, early in the morning
hours, and again about 1 p.m.
In the north farming area a
downpour of an inch to two
inches was recorded. Rocker
B received an inch at head-
quarters, with an inch and a
half received twenty miles
north. Midkiff was reported
as receiving two inches.
Only .13 was recorded in
Big Lake by 8 a.m. and the
noonday shower added an-
other .08 to total .21 inch.
Only traces of moisture fell
south of the Big Lake on
Hwy. 137.
Encouraged by politicians,
some preachers, and radical
civil rights leaders, riots are
becoming an accepted way of
life for the more militant. A
recent survey by Brandeis
University revealed that this
way of “protesting” is being
accepted as the most effective
weapon by vast numbers of
the Carmichael-King contin-
gent.
Not more laws, but a firm
and vigorous police crack-
down on the criminal element,
is the best answer to this
challenge to law and order In
America.
