burglary was Arp’s Jewelry,

window smashing apparently
may not have netted very much
to the culprit. '
A quick appraisal by the

es, a pendant, money clip and
watch band were taken, and
most likely a few other things.
The store was undertaking
a more complete inventory
today, but indicated that --
perhaps due to being in an
extreme hurry - the thief
left behind much of the more
valuable merchandise in the
window.1

PPRAawJ Oxygen has been a factor in
half the deaths.
The 35-year-old Williams
known as "C.C.,” radioed that
he had an oxygen deficient in
his T38 trainer during a flight
from Cape Kennedy to Brook-
ley Air Force Base near Mo-
bile, Ala.
"He must have blacked out
from a lack of oxygen," said
an informed source who asked
not to be identified. “The pl-
ane must have nosed over and
hit the ground at almost full
throttle."—
The plane, plummeted onto a
plantation about 15 miles nor-
theast of Tallahasse, gouging a
crater in the center of a tri-
angle of three tall pines. The
fall was so straight, witnesses
said, that the pines were unsc-
athed.
The crash appeared to be a
"near vertical collision with
explosion on impact," said
Maj. Joe Johnson, an Air Fo- '

evident None of these vehicles are from out-of-town, so there are no bewildered per-

with Alamo is doing what all new Brenham residents quickly learn to do — that is, give
the right of way to east-west traffic on Alamo and Commerce. Actually, with the inter-
section unmarked, the pickup waiting there now has the right-of-way to go ahead of the
car pictured at the far left. But he waited. Which is what you do, if you know.
