Notice: Burglars
Spare This Safe
It is a sad state of affairs when
a man can’t get into his own
safe, but that’s what happened
to Charley Hastings of the Uni
versity postoffice.
A student wanted some stamps
early Thursday morning and
Charley couldn’t open the safe.
“Needs graphite,” he mumbled
as he fought the lock. It took him
a half hour to open the stubborn
combination, Hastings said.
