police said 23 air conditioners had been
reported stolen during the last six days.
Glass dealers said they had been kept
busy by a rash of calls from people with
broken rear and side windows in their
cars.
“The heat just builds up pressure or
something,” said Mike Killingsworth of
Nelson-Brantley Glass Co.
Highways are littered with overheated
can, strained by increased use of auto air
conditioners.
The blazing temperatures have affected
the Blacklands of West Central Texas,
running north and south between Fort
Worth and Abilene.
John Burleson of the Texas Agriculture
Extension,, Service in StephenviUe said
noo-irrigated crop yields have been
reduced considerably.
Grain sorghum is the main crop af-
fected, Burleson said, and yields will be

cut more if a good rain doesn’t come soon
Vegetables also are hurting.
Dr. Albert Hoermann, area livestock
specialist with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service in Uvalde said
rangeland in Southwest Texas is being
burned.
If rain doesn’t come soon, Hoermann
said, ranchers will have to begin reducing
the number of cattle on the range.
Though the blistering weather may have
made most people lethargic, it has made
work easier for the city crews that paint
lines on Dallas streets.
“It takes 10 to 15 minutes for the paint to
dry during the cooler weather,” said Sam
L. Wilson, assistant director for traffic
operations. "Now you get by with three to
five minutes. It means they can actually
do more and open up the street to traffic
quicker.”

— established in 1953 — could be in danger
during the afternoon hours today.
Following a Friday morning low of 77,
the mercury had climbed to an unofficial
•3 degrees by 11 a.m., only 10 degrees shy
of yet another record and with lots of sun
lefHntheday. *» •* *» < *»*■ -<
According to records maintained by the
State Climatologist for Texas, the highest
temperature ever listed in Sulphur Spings
is 114 degrees. The top reading for the
state is 120 degrees, registered at Seymour
on Aug. 12,1936.
On the other side of the thermometer,
Sulphur Springs’ all-time record low is 10
degrees below zero, according to the state
statistician.
No relief from the sweltering heat wave
is in sight over the next few days, ac-
cording to forecasts prepared Thursday
morning by the National Weather Service.
The outlook is for fair skies and very hot
afternoons, with readings at or above the
century mark through Tuesday, the
weather service said. Overnight lows for
Uie Saturday to Tuesday period should be
in the mid to upper 70s, forecasters say.
More record-breaking temperatures are
anticipated across central and western
portions of North Texas today and
Saturday, the weather service said.
Almost every city in the region recorded
record highs for Thursday.
There is no mention of rainfall in the
Sulphur Springs area forecast.

Jan. 1, on grounds that moving sooner
could set off a new round of inflationary
expectations just as wholesale and con-
sumer prices have moderated.
But that preference, they concede, likely
will be overwhelmed by the rising
pressures of an election year, and Carter
could well be out with a comprehensive
proposal at about the time the GOP meets
in Detroit.
On a 51-38 vote, the Senate refused to
attach Reagan’s proposed $36.8-billion tax
cut to a bill extending the federal debt
ceiling. With the exception of Sen. Lowell
Weicker, R-Conn., who voted with the
Democrats to table, or kill, the proposal,
the vote was along party lines.
“The people of this country will not
forget” that It was a Democratic-
controlled Senate that turned thumbs-
down on the tax cut, said Republican
Leader Howard Baker.
Reagan, in a statement issued in Los
Angeles, said much the same thing, adding
that the Senate vote to delay consideration
of a tax cut “rivals Jimmy Carter’s empty
rhetoric for sheer cynldam."
Surviving a
heat wave
The National Weather Service
Friday issued a warning terming the
North Texas heat wave “Just as
dangerous as any tornado or blizzard
situation,” with at least seven known
deaths resulting from the oven-like
blast in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
In its special bulletin terming
current conditions “very
dangerous...a killer heat wave,” the
weather service also provided a list of
“heat safety rules". Those rules are
as follows:
(1) Slow down. Your body can’t do
its best in hot weather..move into a
cooler environment when you feel
heat syndrome developing.
(2) Drink plenty of liquids while the
hot spell lasts.
(3) Dress In lightweight, light-
colored clothing.
(4) Eat less foods heavy in protein;
they increase metabolic heat
production.
(8) Don’t get too much sun...sun-
burn makes the job of heat dissipation
much more difficult.
(6) Avoid thermal shock. Acclimate
yourself gradually to hot weather.
(7) Keep your heat exposure time
down. If you work or play in the sun,
try to get out of it severaltimes a day.
(I) Contrary to popular belief, you
should not take salt tablets unless
your doctor has cleared you for them.
Excessive salt is extremely
dangerous to some people with cer-
tain undiagnosed diseases.
