A burglar entered a home the
other night. . .and took $154. . .
then he went to the kitchen and
drank three cups of coffee. . .be
fore leaving, lie wrote a note
\
saying, "This is for the coffee,’
and left 94 cents in change. The
desk sergeant received a tele
phone call: “Someone is trying to
jump off the City Hall” a voice
screamed. . .immediately police
rushed to the scene. . .thousands
of people were looking up at a
figure in the window on the 23rd
floor. . .hurriedly, police shot up
to the 23rd floor and discovered
that the figure. . .was nothing
more than a plumbing fixture
with a hood tossed over it. A
man was highly perturbed when
he discovered that his pencil had
been stolen. . .and a cheap-ap
pearing ring left in its place. . .
he gave the ring to his wife who
took it to the jeweler for clean
ing. . .she nearly fainted when
he said, "This ring is worth 12
or 14 thousand dollars.”. . .the
next day her husban turned the
ring over to the Sheriff’s Office

have to be making three times
as many films as they are today.
For moyie goers, there's one
bright outlook — future pictures
will have to be good to lure peo
ple away from their television
sets.
