Thieves Raid
Salem Firms,
Gain Nothing
Two Salem business firms were
burglarized early Thursday morn
ing but the culprits apparently net
ted not a single penny, according
to city police,
Entered were the Salem Con
Crete Pipe & Products Co., 2990
Portland Rd., and the Wiltsey Mu
sic Co.. I860. State St. Detectives
said offices in both establishments
were ransacked and an ..attempt
apparently was mad,e to carry
away a safe at the pipe firm. The
safe reportedly had been moved
several feet but the burglars pre
sumably gave up because of its
weight .
Gerald E. Bull, 1380 N. 18th St.,
operator of the pipe business, told
police the thieves overlooked sever
al dollars in a money tray. .The
burglary was discovered about 2:30
a.m. when an officer noticed a
front door ajar. Entry was made
by breaking a rear window, police
indicated, while entrance to the
music was gained by unlocking a
window at the rear.

Exchange Club
Starts Yule T
Toys Drive
Salem Exchange Club's seventh
annual campaign for Christmas
toys for needy children got under
way this week, according to
Chairman Frank Ward.
The public is urged to contrib
ute good, usable toys. Toys in
need of repair should rot be
brought in, said Ward, because
the Exchange Club has no facility
for repairing them.
Toys may be left with Ward at
Salem Auto Parts store, 356 N.
Liberty St Phone cells to 3-9108
or to 4-5343 will enable Ward to
pick up toys which contributors
cannot bring to the store.
This is the only toy drive in
Salem this, year, said Ward
"We earnestly ask the coopera
tion of Salem residents in . this
project. Salem public school art
and manual training classes are
again arranging toy-building proj
ects." . '
