SKETCH BOOK
A pparently a well trained gang
of ••school b reak ers” hit Brook
ings last T hursday, along w ith a
half dozen o th er schools in the
area.
The buglars entered the school
here bv force sometim e after*
M idnight, and m ade off w ith an
estim ated $35 to $40 in pennies,
nickles, and q u arte rs—but severly
dam aged a num ber of doors in
the process.
Cheif of Police Bud Cross said
th a t reports he had indicated that
the same group b u r g l a r i z e d
schools in Coos Bay, Coquille, and
Bandon on W ednesday night. On
T hursday they hit Brookings, Ft
Dick, Sm ith River, Crescent City,
K erby, Cave Jun ctio n and several
in G rants Pass, really m aking a
night of it. E ither it was the same
gang, and th eir m ethods w ere
sim ilar, or it was National Break
Into Your School Night.
The bu rg lars used a crow bar
or sim ilar instrum ent in each of
the schools, and distained taking
anything except money. No type
w riters. or anything else was re-
ported taken A crow bar was left
on the janitors desk at the C res
cent City school.
Supt of schools D. D. W illiams
said that they entered the ele
m entary school by breaking in a
window, then broke in the fur-
nance room door in the upper
elem entary building. They went
in all the classrooms, and rifled
the teachers desks. If a classroom
was locked they would simply
break the door jam by prying
w ith a crow bar.
They entered the highschool in
two places, but couldn't get into
the m ain building, and left after
the two tries.
